Gangnam Zombie is a 2023 South Korean horror movie directed by Lee Soo-yeon. Set in Seoul’s famous Gangnam district, the film follows a group of people who find themselves trapped in the middle of an outbreak of zombies. The story begins when a strange virus outbreak turns people into violent zombies, and survivors must fight to stay alive in a rapidly collapsing world.

The film is unique in its setting, as it takes place in the glamorous and luxurious area of Gangnam, known for its richness and urban lifestyle, which offers a stark contrast to the typically apocalyptic scenarios of zombie movies. Survivors, including a young woman trying to protect her family, must face not only the zombie threat but also human nature as they face the collapse of society.

Gangnam Zombie combines the zombie genre with social commentary, exploring topics like class, survival, and the human cost of a society in crisis. It has received attention for its intense action, suspense, and the way it reinvents the traditional zombie movie with its modern urban backdrop. While not as well-known as other zombie films, Gangnam Zombie is an interesting addition to the genre, as it offers a new take on the usual themes and at the same time incorporates the dizzying, high-energy style typical of South Korean thrillers.
