Alone

You might have noticed that this was a copy of the South Korean movie #alive, but if you check credits; they both have the same writer. So I don't think the script was stolen, it was just a replica with few changes to serve the American audience as usual. However; that being said. The Korean version was much better on the storyline take, the acting, the zombie makeup, even the romance was better.

It was a good movie, but since I've seen the Korean version, I couldn't put more than 5 to this one.

Judging by other reviews, I guess I'm a bit odd since I'm not looking for some deep and meaningful plot in a zombie movie. I appreciated the twist of the infected's mental state, that was interesting. Also, the protagonist is scared, makes failed attempts and therefore gave me a better sense of what might happened, had it been me in his situation. In my own rating system, I give a 5 when the movie is only worth seeing once, less than 5 is a waste of time, and a 6 if I'll see it again in the future. 7 if it's so good that I feel the need to buy it. In these types of movies, a good storyline is a bonus. My primary interest is being entertained by the situation itself. And for that, it's worth watching again.

The plot is the same as #Alive, a South Korean zombie flick, but it fell short. Actually Matt Naylor has a screenwriting credit on both films, so it's hard to say which movie copied the other. While Alone has a good premise (like #Alive), it takes the wrong turn by offering us humiliating lead (sorry Posey), lazy story, apathetic "suspenseful" scenes and a love story that is nothing more than a mere fairytale. In the end I think Alone is more action driven, and #Alive has more character development.

The 'zombies' n this one have a unique twist that as a guy who watches ANYTHING post-apocalyptic, I appreciate a fun wrinkle. The love story is actually feasable and we'll done, meaning believable for the most part and not overdone. It works as a PART of the story. Other than Donald Sutherland I had never heard of these actors but they all we're solid; no one took me out of it or anything. Anyone rating this too low has just not seen what awfulness there truly is in the Post-Apocalypse genre wasteland.

Can be a bit depressing at times and different spin on zombies. Donald Sutherland plays a great part. An ok watch.

This is a remake of the Korean film 'Alive', which is a much better version.
