Operation Undead (2024)

Operation Undead (2024). 1h 50m

“I saw this one in the cinema because the story and trailer intrigued me. A made-in-Japan zombie virus lands on Thai shores during World War II, so the Japanese and Thai army have to contain the threat and keep it under cover at any cost. There is enough war action and some interesting set pieces (tropical beach, jungle, cave etc.), plus good portions of blood and gore, which was a nice surprise. However, as usual with Thai movies, a lot of unnecessary melodrama kicks in and itu0026#39;s made worse from the fact that the zombie ghouls…speak and weep for their families and loved ones… As a result, itu0026#39;s not as good as the previous Thai zombie film Iu0026#39;d seen (The Black Death from 2015), but it still has some interesting zombie mayhem moments to offer. As an extra note, the director started as part of the u0026#39;Ronin Teamu0026#39;, responsible for the black magic horror classics Art Of The Devil 2u0026amp;3, so he shows a taste for blood and gore in this offering as well. And itu0026#39;s not a zomedy, which is a good thing.”
