I think zombies have finally died, but I'll watch anything with Sutherland.
Make sure you buy the right ticket. There are at least three 2020 thrillers called ALONE.
Zombies aren't dead as a genre, we're just trying not to give 2020 any ideas so they're on hold right now.

I think the Romero zombie should be dead as a genre. We've pretty much mined that deposit to depletion. At the very least, let it sit idle for about 5 or 10 years THEN revisit it. In the meantime, if someone gives us a zombie film that tries to do more than create land sharks, I'm all for it. I won't discount originality, but right now I'm not seeing it anywhere when it comes to zombies.

Maybe some sentient zombies. Rotting, falling to pieces, driven by hunger... but still conscious and capable of speech.

How to get Robert De Niro to star in your film.

Incidentally, that Sutherland zombie apartment-building movie ALONE appears to be a remake of The Korean zombie apartment-building movie ALIVE, which you can stream on Netflix right now.
I’ve been skipping through it. It’s low-budget standard zombie fare, but entertaining enough. In this one the Sutherland character doesn’t appear until the final third.
EDIT: apparently the Korean film is called #ALIVE

De Niro owns a lot of expensive real estate. Dude’s gotta pay the bills.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one then go watch Kingdom on Netflix.

OH yes, KINGDOM is much better.

I saw the sequel to Train to Busan is out now in theaters. I'm tempted to brave a theater to see it.
