    Get In On The East Asian Zombie Act!
    This is another impressive zombie film from that region. We see a whole lot of landscape and cover a lot of ground. They do not cheap out and give us wide angles full of zombies and villains. There are pretty almond eye girls who are thin and have feminine hair and there shall be blood!

    Easily and eight out of ten. Also watch: Nihon bundan and Train To Busan.
