“Night of the Undead” starts with a scene that immediately lets the viewers know that Earth is being visited by … ??? … a being who is obviously not from planet Earth.
Aliens disguised as humans? Yep. It figures. But nobody cares about that. All the humans want to know is: Do they come in peace? Or … Will their presence cause the extinction of humankind? I mean … Are they going to put something in the water?
So-Hee and Man-Gil are happily married. At least, So-Hee thinks she is happily married even though there is something odd about her husband. She found a suspicious message on his phone and can’t quite figure out if he is being unfaithful. So she hired someone to follow Man-Gil around and discovered something worse than “odd”. It was AWFUL!
Man-Gil’s wives from his previous marriages were all found dead. YIKES!! Why couldn’t this perfect man just be a little weird? So what if he only needs 3 hours of sleep? Why does he have to be DANGEROUS??? If only So-Hee had done research before she got married. On the plus side: The guy can really cook!
Lucky for her she knows people who can help. Se-Ra, Yang-Sun, her two best friends, and Doctor Jang, an unconventional private investigator who is also the director of Mystery Research Lab. And … ??? …What kind of “mystery” does he research?
Where to Watch: OnDemandKorea (It’s also on Viki.com but for Rent; not for free.)
My personal rating is 8 out of 10 stars.
It’s a cheesy, but cute dark comedy made to feed the imaginations of conspiracy theorists. For example, a conspiracy theorist will probably say: If there really are aliens, the government already knows; and they have been keeping it a secret from the rest of us!!
Even in the USA, without watching a movie, some say: We saw that article in the Washington Post: “Pentagon report finds no evidence of alien visits, hidden spacecraft” Uh huh. Yeah! And if you believe that, you believe man really did walk on the moon. That was in the Washington Post too! There are probably aliens working in the Pentagon! (LOL.)
“Night of the Undead” is available via OnDemandKorea. The app is free to download if you have an Amazon Fire TV. However, the streaming platform is not easy to search if you are in the USA because most of the content is in Korean. But you can find a few Korean drama movies or series with English subtitles and watch them for free.
ODK also has Premium content. But for right now I am just testing the platform. There are some K-dramas on ODK that are not available on the other popular streaming platforms in the USA.
(NOTE: Don’t confuse this Korean movie with the American horror film “A Night Of The Undead”.)
