Critics Consensus

Well-acted, genuinely unsettling, and occasionally even funny, #alive proves the crowded zombie genre still has fresh stories to tell.

"#Alive" is a nifty little thriller that proves that you can always find signs of life in the most undead of genres.

#Alive hardly tries to do something new, and leaves its few surprises to a loud jump scare here, or a nifty zombie kill there.

Rated: 2.5/4

It does do some cool and interesting things within the zombie genre which makes this more then some B-movie hack job.

Rated: 3.5/5

Cinema Crazed

Never boring, consistently creepy, and inspires so much more hope than most zombie pictures unleashed on horror fans these days.

I watched this during 2020. It's ironic this movie was released during the covid-19 pandemic. It mirrors covid a lot in the sense that it was intense and kind of boring. It's a fine Korean zombie movie, but it's definitely no Train to Busan.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

While delivering some emotional beats, I eventually got bored and was unable to finish it.

I enoyed a lot, I mean the plot was kind of predictable but was refreshing the main characters surviving for a change. The scene of the firefighter always gets me, and the one with the guy that saved them only to feed is wife was disturbing as well

While the movie had a different, interesting take it was difficult to not roll my eyes at times. As one commenter said, the zombies had teleporting skills to enter apartments without any sounds. The lead actor is on the 8th floor apartments and for some reason, zombies enter the apartment complex and head upstairs. The zombies hear sounds and quickly turn to find the reason, but when zombies run and hit walls, those sounds do not attract them. A zombie sees a long rope and decides, "Hm, my brain is dead but my curiosity entices me to climb this rope because I know someone put it there." And the lead actor must have had his food delivered by uber because he never used a knife to unalive the undead. But i did watch it to the end.
