One morning, Korea awakes to some disturbing news. Corpses have been found in different rivers around the country. They all exhibit similar symptoms, with the body horribly dislocated and dehydrated. As the hours go by, more and more people start to feel a disproportionate thirst which leads them to hurl themselves into the water, where they die. There is no longer any doubt: the country is being ravaged by an epidemic, caused by a parasite that uses the human body as a host. (Sitges Film Festival)

In times full of pandemics, this South Korean disaster movie is like a punch in the face. But on the other hand, I have to say in their defense that in 2012 they probably didn't know we would start dealing with something like covid. I, for example, didn't even know that word at that time. Maybe that's why South Koreans don't hold back and go all out on the viewer. It's interesting that they not only dealt with an interesting subject, but also reached the level of classic disaster movies from the USA, which I would say are the most emotionally moving disaster movies with blockbuster elements that no one else can make. Only now on South Korea, which has come very close.
