Why watch this film?
'Invasion of the Zombies' dives into the universe of its subgenre from another perspective, that of Korean cinema. The difference in geographical and social perspective results in a movie of familiar theme yet new garments. It brings a lot of entertainment to those who like horror or wild action, but it also uses terror to draw an emphatic social critique. The movie makes excellent use of space geometry to benefit the unfolding of the story and create an atmosphere of claustrophobia and horror, and the elements of Asian blockbuster cinema are present and striking for the rhythm and atmosphere that the movie builds. The story manages to successfully transit between tension and remarkable moments that captivate the audience through emotion, delivering a complete work that will please horror fans very much.

From the same director
Psychokinesis
What happens when an ordinary man gains powers and believes he can turn into a superhero? We've seen this perspective from Hollywood a few times, but now we can follow the interpretation of Korean cinema, which has been specializing more and more in action movies. The direction is by Sang-ho Yeon, the same one from 'Train to Busan'. Recommended for those who want entertainment with good special effects, good action sequences, and a pinch of humor just right. Outside of South Korea, 'Psychokinesis' is exclusive to Netflix.
Jung_E
After "Psychokinesis", South Korean director Sang-ho Yeon (from the acclaimed "Invasion Zombie") returns with another fantasy proposal for Netflix. "Jung_E" embraces dystopian cyberpunk in a story where humanity has taken refuge in space colonies to escape climate change, but war conflicts don't stop. So when a fierce mercenary falls in battle, her brain is cloned to create the perfect artificial intelligence that will end the war once and for all. Although the visual effects are a bit below average, the action is fast and well directed. It embraces more its action side than the depth of science fiction (it's not "Ex-Machina", come on), but it's a very entertaining production for fans of futuristic stories.
Horror
The Nightman
The Nightman a dramatic thriller that explores the dangerous boundary between love and darkness. The story follows a young pregnant woman who begins to question the perfection of her boyfriend upon discovering his possible involvement in mysterious disappearances and murders, linked to his sleepwalking behavior. With praised performances and precise direction, the film delves into complex themes of relationships and personal dilemmas, keeping the audience engaged in its dark suspense.
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
