Did you know
- TriviaFilmmaker Edgar Wright, who directed the BAFTA nominated zombie-comedy Shaun of the Dead (2004), was a big fan of the film. Wright recommended the film in a tweet and called it the "best zombie movie I've seen in forever."
- GoofsThe abilities of the infected seem to change for the convenience of the plot. For example, before they claim the infected will only attack if they see you, Sang-hwa traps an infected man in the toilet and it still tries to attack him, despite not being able to see him. Also, it is clearly shown that the doors aren't automatic as the handle needs to be pulled down, but eventually they realise that the infected can't open doors, but during the initial outbreak several do so with ease.
- Alternate versionsThe Indian cinema version is a minute shorter than the original version with a few violent zombie shots being censored.

As Promised. Action-Packed Film!
The movie is superb. Quality is high, the action is non-stop and the freshness in a worn out genre is amazing!
I recommend it here...and just have to find more films like this.
