It is one of Any zombie story which is going to be more relevant in a post-


pandemic world.

its kind apocalypse horror genre show. There is more than what meets the
eye and the heart is at the right place. Watch it if you haven’t already.
Emotions are at their peak and so are the bloodthirsty zombies.

The 12-episode Korean series, out on Netflix, zeroes in on the social inequalities
that were exposed by the pandemic, while at the same time offering strong
commentary on the toxicity of the teenage experience.

It is not the lightest weekend binge but an immensely satisying blood soaking
rollercoaster, just don’t eat while you watch it.

This stunning series shows that it is still possible to make

The South Korean zombie apocalypse horror streaming television series All of Us Are
Dead is making some buzz for all the right reasons. With the raw violence and action,
the Korean movies and series are known for, All of Us Are Dead is a beautiful and
tough-to-witness exploration of the vulgarity hidden in the human character when the
eventuality is a choice to be made between life and death
After the girl gets bitten, she is then kept in captivity in the school science lab by the
science teacher who’s the mastermind behind the creation of this new zombie virus.
On being discovered by the people at the school, the girl, almost on the verge of
getting herself zombie-certified, decides to bite one of the people helping her while
being taken to the hospital. And the cycle of biting goes on like that for some time
until enough people are there to form a zombie self-help group. You get the idea. As
the entire school and the whole city starts turning into a zombie-land, we are left with
a bunch of school kids who must now survive t In All of Us Are Dead, the school kids
make up the perfect match for a truly vulnerable protagonist at the centre of a
massacre. The talented and young cast brings greater conviction to the struggle that
ensues. Each character is different and provides greater depth to the story. The
conflict that emerges out of a group, consisting of young kids who may not agree
with each other on everything, adds to the other conflicts that arise in a zombie
outbreak. his zombie outbreak.
The show also makes it quite clear very early on that death is a real eventuality that
will strike most characters, regardless of whether they’ve been positioned as
protagonists
And because All of Us Are Dead takes its time—many of its 12 episodes run at over
an hour long—it allows itself some asides that you’d normally wouldn’t expect in a
story like this. But All of Us Are Dead deliberately frames the apocalypse from the
perspective of teenagers, because even though the politicians and army chiefs might
not realise it, their days are numbered. They won’t have to clean up their mess. The
kids will, and they are most certainly not all right.
