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.

Rammbock: Berlin Undead, REC, The Night Eats The World... the trope of being stuck in a claustrophobic apartment building during a zombie apocalypse is nothing new and has been done quite well in the past. #Alive manages to add another entry to this subgenre of the zombie film and keep it feeling fresh. A big factor that contributes to the freshness of this film is that it takes place in the modern age and incorporates technology into the storyline in a way that feels realistic and relatable. It also features a strangely happy ending which is somewhat uncommon for a zombie film but is quite refreshing. I enjoyed the chemistry between the two main protagonists who have to find creative ways to help each other survive, living across the street from each other in an apartment complex with a horde of infected in between them. This is a very enjoyable film and a welcome edition to not just the Korean zombie genre but the zombie genre in general. Recommended.

One of the best zombies movies I've seen. There was always something going on and you're constantly on the edge of your seat for the two survivors as they try to connect with each other. The use of #Alive is exactly what gets you rescued.
