Finished watching Korea's #Alive (1:27:17), yet another zombie movie, on Netflix. Almost like an Asian, young male, take on Wait Until Dark. 

Only First-World countries like the U.S. and Korea produce zombie movies. They are reflections of paranoia, distrust of others, the need for isolation, and the advantages of alienation in highly technological societies. 

Long before that, industrialization in Europe produced the Theater of the Absurd, Eugene Ionesco's plays the most well-known among them. After the Second World War, Japan produced Rodan, Mothra, and Godzilla, fantasized mutations as a result of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 

In the 21st century, we have zombie and apocalyptic movies, which we've been watching without really knowing what is going on in the countries that produced them.
