All Of Us Are Dead follows the story of an experiment gone wrong that leads to a full blown zombie attack on a high school(and later the city). The story is really some entertaining fodder for zombie lovers like me. But there is a catch. There are a total of 12 episodes with each episode running upto a duration of 60 minutes which is truly daunting. So if you are prepared for this mammoth task then you are in for a treat! The screenplay starts off with a little bit of a buildup till the zombie attack begins right from episode 1. At this point you are quite invested in the drama and all the basic ingredients required for a zombie flick like fear, blood and gore are all packaged into this entertaining drama. We all know that South Korea is really well versed with this zombie genre with an iconic film like Train To Busan that has set the template for the world. So there are a bunch of characters with their side stories which act as side plots here. While some are interesting enough but some could have done without. In other words, some of the sub plots do not work and just add crucial minutes to the runtime.

But the writers definitely are aware of the pulse of the audience. And they serve exactly that. The zombie attack across multiple sequences is sure to keep you at the edge of your seat. The innovative bit(without revealing much here) related to zombies is a welcome addition to the genre and it adds an element of storytelling. Some of the emotional bits are also well drafted but at some point I did feel that the writers definitely do go overboard! After a point, a few sequences are repetitive and to sit for 12 hours in a zombie flick can get exhaustive. Also I felt the drama did peak early leaving with a slightly underwhelming end. But taking nothing away from the journey, I definitely had a blast watching the screenplay that did hold my attention for most parts. The screenplay was a zombie-feat for my soul. Pretty well written and rounded up!
