The girlfriend zombie remembering his apartment, the way back, searching for alternative ways inside and catching him off guard has terrifying implications
@@redundant_raj im pretty sure the gf got into the vent and tried to crawl to aiden's apartment and then ran into a the dead zombie (18:38) in the vent and got bitten (don't know how the zombie died tho) and crawled to his apartment while still conscious and turned near/ontop of the vent door and aiden made too much noise so she broke the vent door.
@@lordhawkridge4116 I'm not a pro, but my advice is to find some car keys, a working car it goes to, and a gas can. Siphon gas and drive out the towns to an isolated house and stockpile there. If you have trouble with combat, find a fence the zombies have to climb over and kill them on the ground. Will take some practice because the hitboxes get weird when they do and their lunge is brutal. And if all else fails, just use custom settings to make it easier
@@vhzt so far I've found two warehouses next to each other, destroyed the stairs and put a rope up, barricaded the windows, moved all the supplies to the more secure building and set up two go bags. Just need to get a car.
@@lordhawkridge4116 So: Make sure you're playing on Build 41- it's just objectively better. I would recommend the use of PZMapProject, it's a really thorough game map you can pull up on your browser. Unless you like the immersion of the ingame map which I totally understand! :) You want a few items to start: A hammer, nails, saw. There may be more but from what I remember, these are three of the most important early game items as it allows you to deconstruct furniture and fortify your home of choice! You also want to make sure you get a water container early as well- Some negative perks aren't so negative, smoker, high thirst, slow healer, sunday driver, slow reader, weak stomach all come to mind as pretty much free points. (An argument could be made for prone to illness... but I'm personally not a fan.) Also, the one thing I can't recommend enough is to play with friends. Solo is really fun, but playing with friends is the height of the PZ experience, imo.
A zombie showing signs of intelligence is something out of a nightmare. I’ve always thought the best way to survive zombies was to outmaneuver and outsmart them, but if my brother gets turned and still remembers where I keep my spare key and where my hiding spots are I’m screwed
Alright lets give it to Brandon, he was a total bro, began to change, mentally fought for control long enough so he could get outside before he would have a chance of infecting his friend, that's a total bro right there
This movie has to be inspired by #ALIVE. Semi smart zombies, blocking the door with a fridge, a zombie climbing up to his apartment, a random dude that has his zombified wife chained to the bed and wants to feed her a healthy protagonist, trying to commit suicide and being stopped by a girl inside of an apartment opposing his, giving eachother supplies via a rope connecting the apartments.
and the part that truly makes 0 sense is that the heli clearly has black smoke coming out of it like it had a mechanical probem. at least if it were crashing with no smoke it could be seen that someone on board turned and caused the crash
I think Eva deserves a higher score just for accurately identifying the fridge against the door meant someone was inside with Aidan. She at least has common sense and deduction on her side. If Aidan listens to her and just acts as muscle, they might have a chance together.
Yeah I think Nerd undersells her. As far as we can tell she made none of Aidan's mistakes, and also I think managing to convince Aidan to give her supplies is a plus.
@@zhoufang996 Assuming she didn't need plot armor, the fact that she survived just as long as Aidan should give her a higher score than him by default.
points have to be earned, knowing a fridge against the door means someone is inside is base knowledge, something protag probably thought of and just didn't care cause they needed supplies, maybe she does deserve a higher score, but we didnt see her do enough with the screen time she was used in to really earn it. She was more used as motivation for Aiden far as I could see, she was the only reason he didn't kill himself, she was the only reason he left his apartment several times in dramatic fashion each time. She didn't get enough agency from the writers is what I think.
Massive respect for Brandon his neighbour/friend. Most people would hesitate to leave knowing the threat and also be in denial of being able to survive the turning.
Extremely late reply, but this happens in a lot of movies, some with the very same premise and plot than this one, but only in this one the infected dude went out, respect
If Brandon survived the first few days of apocalypse, he would be the type of man that would try to protect people and Adan would have been the side character.
And it would be cool to watch a proactive guy defeating zombie horde (at least in his building block). For some reason zombie movies are almost always survival horrors with not-so-good endings. Also, Army. They would defeat zombies eventually. Shaun of the Dead is a classic for a reason.
Just from the opening scene of the neighbor I was like dang this looks like an exact copy of #Alive. But turns out the movie script was sold to two different groups, one to make it in Korean and the other to make it in English. So the group who made Alone sued netflix for releasing an English dub of #Alive since it violated their claim to the english version of the story.
I saw #alive on netflix and thought the same thing, but I never would have thought about that there were two groups creating two versions. Thanks for the explanation.
It seems like more of an attempt to garner more money for the piece. They wouldn't have sued at all had Alone not done so terribly. That said... #alive is just a better adaptation. I dunno. I'm not sure how adding an English dub is actually infringement. I guess it would depend on the exact language of the agreement? I would be pretty surprised if this made it to court. If it wasn't thrown out I assume Netflix would have just settled as a nuisance. I mean it's not a new practice the idea of making something more accessible due to the language barrier for something you had permission to actually create? That's not an infringement. I wonder what the outcome was?
this man is actually much smarter and luckier than the normal main character in other zombie movies. He stores water, his neighbor had enough time to get out of his house before he was turned, and he actually knocked his zombie girlfriend out and block that vent up before she could destroy any important items, alert other zombies to get in or harm him.
4:51 With doors like these, there's actually a third option. The exposed auto-closing hinge at the top of the door can be bound together with a belt or some other object. Depending on the tether used, it can be a fairly powerful barricade that doesn't require you to move a heavy object. Plus, it can be used supplementary to any of the other barricade options you choose since it takes up no space.
I love the toddler level intelligence for zombies, imagine being able to time laying down and a hoard walks over you, or quick cornering stops a pursuit, but if you linger, make noise, they will strategise.
The ending to this is what always makes me think about world war z where brad made very solid bite resistance guards. Like you think about it zeds are guna for arms and legs first.
Common movie problem I see: Aren't vents... loud if you climb through them? I feel like someone shuffling along metal plates that get an echo effect for any period of time is gonna make tons of noise. For a situation like this I guess the zombies won't be able to discern where in the vents you are but still.
Loud, and not meant to be crawled through. The biggest movie magic is that the thin sheet of aluminum doesn't buckled beneath the weight of a full-grown adult
@@sylph4252 Sounds like a death in a Scream movie, someone tries to crawl into the vent to escape but get's their head stuck and either get themselves killed or are just easy pickings.
@@ZaZi-Zeta01 FNAF now amazes me in this regard cause it gets the loudness right (and is even extremely advantageous for you) but is even farther off the mark on the buckling under weight thing lul
Give him a little credit though, at least he didn't try to reason with his gf like so many others try to do when their friend/family/loved one is clearly infected and clearly going to kill them. He took care of business
Okay so is this the US version of #ALIVE? The beginning with the neighbor coming in who is infected, and the smart zombies and the overall setting seem the same.
fun fact, this was written by the same guy but bought by 2 separate companies for a movie. Sadly the U.S. version isn't as good in my personal opinion.
This American version of #Alive does some things better than the Korean film, I like how the movie ends with the 2 still stuck in the complex, I like that the complex is smaller for tighter combat and easier access to each other, and I like that the Zombies in this one stay true to their korean counter part, and they didn't do the "They have limited vision and hearing" and instead just went with they can hear and see perfectly, making all the scenss where Aiden gets spotted or heard, make sense, instead of being Inconsistent.
@@DavidSternburgYtIt's not a remake. Two companies were sold the same script (which is itself based on a graphic novel of some sort, if I remember right). They independently made two movies based on the same source.
These zombies are far from the worst one's we have seen in movies. If laying down and playing dead works, then the zombies aren't that dangerous. I would love to have this version of zombies over the one's that have super human abilities.
@Squilliam Fancyson I've watched a lot of zombie movies, and these are some of the weakest one's. You don't need to be fit to play dead. These zombies would also easily be killed by just making one loud sound and attacking them at once with guns or explosives. Do you know the one thing that a lot of Americans have? Guns.
@Squilliam Fancyson I'm not saying that's someone's first thought, but plenty of desperate people will find out it works, and that could be an easy strategy to beat these zombies. I also pointed it out to show how dumb these zombies are, and wasn't just the only thing that makes these zombies beatable. Uninfected humans would be panicking initially, but these zombies will be figured out quick after they find out their simple weaknesses.
Honestly if nerd explains was in cast of one of these movies, he would be the first ever person to quickly get out of a deadly situation in less than 10 minutes..
C'mon man, let's be real. It's much different to make videos about what you would do, and what you'd actually do in that situation. If a zombie in front of you, he ain't giving you enough time to theorize possible ways to escape them. Just on the real, no hate to Nerd explains, love his videos
Not likely. If he were cast into one of these movies he would have to play the exact role they paid him for. I enjoy these videos especially compared to Cinema Summary which expects people to have some psychic ability to recognize they are in a death game. Or cheers on the idea of killing opponents without enough information to conclude you are in a death game. Most of these videos don't actually account for the real issues adrenaline causes in the decision-making process. Expecting people in an unreasonable situation to act reasonably is not reasonable.
Im only now realising after watching about 3 different videos from how to beat and now from nerd explains that zombie apocalypses are so nerve racking and i couldn't do it just listening to how to survive makes me anxious about what can go wrong ŏ̥̥̥̥םŏ̥̥̥̥ god its so scary
Just a thought but, at 9:45 in the video you say to put a knife through his zombified girlfriend's eye. That is not the better place for killing a zombie. Instead, you want to aim at the cerebellum in the back part of her head or right underneath the first or second vertebrae, right where the neck starts, this will disconnect the rest of her spine from her brain and making her unable to move.
@@krypton1142 You can wrap yourself in clothes. A thick 4 layer shirt will definitely stop anything that would even get near your skin. You could also use your oven to melt and forge makeshift armor with household metals like a spoon. I mean, why not just strap a ton of spoons and forks over you with duct tape making a makeshift chainmail and cloth up on the outside. The cloth will absorb bodily fluids and potential transfer while the spoons and forks will stop any deep biting.
This scenario would actually makes killing zombies more of a challenge. Knowing that there's still aa person in there watching everything happen but can't stop themselves could cause hesitation in the survivor and lead to their death.
For more empathetic people, sure but people who don't feel that or can shut it off to deal with it later? That's not the issue. The issue is they're fast and smart.
@@TheOnePistol I mean not really? I'd know they'd have to be undead for that too be happening and one of them i wouldn't even recognize cause I'm an orphan.
@@MagikarpMan For some. I think you'd be surprised at the number of people who, when their survival is at stake, would put a bullet in their siblings. I think the hardest ones for me would be my nieces. My sister would be tough but we've already had this discussion and she'd rather me kill her than stay trapped in a body she can't control.
I had no idea that there was an American version of this movie. The original was pretty good, but our protagonist literally just kept making terrible decisions and getting lucky. So far, they seem to have that in common.
@@RaTecLov here's the thing i red a Korean comic yearrssssss ago and after watching #alive i notice a lot of similarities although the story did end up being way different. its not hard to see #alive was inspired by the comic and since the comic was east Asian it is more like for #alive to be the original script than this
The best context on explaining movies on youtube even if you dont get as much views as the others keep making videos. I much rather your jokes and survival insights
Totally agree on that bit about him going down the balcony to throw the walkie talkie. Stupid decisions like these really takes me out of the movie. But for the other ones, I think Aiden did a pretty solid job given that he didn't have time to think things thoroughly due to the pressure and unpredictability of things happening.
I watched this movie after seeing this video and being excited about the prospect of "smart" zombies. After watching it, I didn't see smart zombies. I saw a DUMB DUMB protagonist who, despite every warning that a violent death was literally outside his door since Day 1, kept making SO MUCH NOISE and attracting attention. It almost seemed like he wanted everyone to hear him. Breaking mirrors, making vlogs, playing guitar, slamming laptops, dropping bottles, having the TV turned up, etc. There's plot armor and then there's whatever movie magic this movie's main character has. What did the zombies do that was smart? They just moved towards all the noise Aiden kept making.
If you, as a zombie, in this specific scenario retain memories but try to infect the uninfected, wouldn't everyone be infected at some point and things can go back to normal because they have no reason to attack anyone?
It's kind of the premise from the Marvel Zombies comics. Where the heroes still pertain their intelligence and are aware of their actions, but they just have the irresistible urge to feed. So the undead heroes form an alliance and start to ravage anything alive in that world and eventually the entire planet works as normal, but they're zombies or something like that, until they start figuring out how to head to other planets to feed on them as well.
*Brandon hasn't turned into zombie yet when talking to Aiden* "Its only a little bit of plot amour, it's not that bad" *Aiden doesn't get bit a single time* "Okay that's pushing the limit *Aiden just randomly fins a shotgun sitting on the floor while getting chased by zombies* "....."
@@koopagrandfleet in the opening scene there's a guy shooting them that gets caught after he loads a few extra shells into it this video didn't show that
One thing that always bothers me is the energy conservation almost all zombies seem to have in these stories. A human needs to eat and drink constantly or be at risk of involuntarily passing out while zombies can run for months straight with no need for proper food and water. Also even if they get their food from eating humans their body structure should start to weaken heavily from a terrible food source. Ok rant over :D
@@kazama195 well that's where my question is. A person only has so much energy and that time where "you are forced to move until you can't" would be like 5 days to 2 weeks and that's being generous.
@@missinvisible now that I think about it you wouldn't even need them to be skeletons for them to be non functioning. A couple mildly decayed leg muscles and it can no longer walk and the same goes with arms and legs. Though my best guess would be they die of dehydration in like 5 days tops.
@@stevenvaughn8431 Isnt that the reason they also had the Walking-Dead Series moving up north in the states? Because somewhere in southern US any zombie would turn into mush or a stiff mummy just by the weather alone...
Realistically yes, but in most fiction zombies tend to have thier biology altered somewhat so that they can survive things humans normally wouldn’t, like gunshots, stabs and ruptured organs - if it isn’t the brain, it isn’t dead, in most cases of fictional zombies. I can’t explain how these zombies might survive dehydration, but perhaps the blood they would consume from thier victims is stored internally like a cactus plant, so a few bites which gets blood into thier mouth might be enough “liquids” for a few days perhaps.
If you are a zombie movie you must have one of these: Hearing someone die over the phone, Being locked in a hotel with no visible way out, love interest, An nice person who welcomes you in and has tons of supplies only to to knock you out and try to feed you to an zombie of their loved one but only to get eaten themself
Your absolutely right about knowing that all the introverts are laughing at his 19 days of isolation getting to him because I definitely did just that laughed . I was one of the few that wasn't bothered by the covid isolation rule I was actually pretty happy about it . I had be extremely extroverted my whole life until about 4 years ago when I suddenly switched dramatically and it was like a switch had flipped in me I have had alot of really bad things happen to me so it changed me drastically
I'm both an extrovert and an introvert and I agree when the pandemic started I wasn't bothered by the lockdowns I needed the isolation 😅😅 I also had something bad happen to me before the pandemic as well
@@YeSnOmAyBeSo8 You'd think they'd just land on an island or in a deserted field instead of crashing their helicopter into the side of a freaking building, tbh why is there a helicopter here already anyway, the warning just went off 1-2 minutes ago, fast response time lol. And what would they be doing here with such low fuel? Just so many plot holes in the helicopters, would be so much better if they were just planes, at least there could theoretically of been an infected onboard so they crashed, but a helicopter is too small to not notice an infected. Sorry for the diatrabe, I just hate helo's crashing in zombie movies :)
This seems way to similar to #alive Like trapped in a apartment, some girl outside standing roommate barging in I'm not even finished with the video and those are already similaritys lol
@@AlexanderNash Please explain one reason why a helicopter would crash right now, there's not many logical ones. Its a very large coincidence that it happened right at the apocalypse. Also I have an IQ of 121 fyi, I wasn't literally saying that helicopters only crash from rpg's, its saying that there's nothing a zombie can do to take down a helicopter.
What confuses me is that any living person with enough water to survive 3-4 weeks has effectively survived the zombie apocalypse as the flesh of the dead zombies would start to rott
@@DuhNoUprobably most considering it doesn't have to be pure water. Things like pop, juice, even canned soup aren't a perfect substitute but they will keep you alive.
116 hours later, you should already have a very strong weapon and a longer health bar to deal with basically anything, virals included so I smell bullshit with the "same fear".
@@s_ame1135 I said “some of the same fear” Virals get old but when you start a new game and you have almost nothing it can feel a bit more challenging. But of course that’s what parkour’s for. Best to kick them off a roof early game
Virals or Volatiles? Virals are the regular fresh turned zombies that can still climb and parkour. Volatiles are the freaky super zombies with split jaw. Either one would be super freaky in real life. In Dying Light though, Virals aren't that scary when there is less than 5.
@@Jaimyoutubing virals. In the beginning of the game they can be nerve wracking when you don’t have much stuff and they scream and talk a bit. In old town they can be scary cause a lot can come out at once and they can serve as a threat.
Okay...To survive,wait until the zombies starve or die of thirst,because all complex creatures need food and water.Another way,which is the most logical,just be in a severely cold environment,because zombie or most creatures cannot survive in extreme cold environments without a heat source.
Yeah, if they're virus zombies instead of dark magic zombies, just wait them out. With all that running around they're doing they'll dehydrate way quicker than you will.
this is LITERALLY #alive but with different people in a different place. even looking through the peephole and seeing his neighbor get got. the helicopter is like the fire truck, the fridge in front of the door, paper on the windows, a girl asking for help then killing someone, being stuck in an apartment, finding climbing gear, it’s the exact same.
@@ahmadjundi2578No, two companies were given the same script. The company that made Alive and the company that made this movie. Alone was actually made before but wasn’t released till after Alive.
16:20 The idea of using a mirror is great for checking through a room without having to put yourself in danger. However, as proven before these zeds have an almost animal like behavior against uninfected. Instead, something I would do is close every door I come across and knock, alerting the zeds on the inside and, hopefully, sending them into a frenzy. Then you could try using the mirror to peer beneath the doorway or just punch a hole through the door and smash a couple of heads.
How the hell are the zombies suriviving for months in all these movies without water or food? Most of them should die in less than a week to thirst, especially in a hot zone like LA.
Yup. Zombies or not, every living being needs water to survive. Although, they could argue that zombies know thirst too and knows how to find water regardless if it's clean or not.
I don't speak for every version of zombies, but aren't they just moving corpses? They technically don't even need to eat or drink since their bodies are dead. The only reason why they devour living things is because of instinct. They do eventually decay if left alone for a long while.
@@goodnesswhy that is part of the issue. the zombies would not be able to have enough energy to even move, blood wouldnt pump. a zombie apocalypse would be over in a long weekend.
Something really cool about your channel is I don't even need to watch the movie. I can watch your video and it's a funny summary + analysis. Great content man, keep it up!
I do like the “frig against door” means person in place. It can be helpful to know MAYBE you can seek help there AND it can be a Warning: ppl inside and we know the atrocities that ppl can commit
Because in the majorities of the movies of zombie apocalypse the concept of "zombies" in media is inexistent. But there're some films that the protagonists knows what is a zombie and what he maybe do to survive
What the hell? I must be having a strangest case of deja vu but I swear I've heard of this movie before. Some of these story beats are so similar to something I've heard before it's literally driving me insane.
I was thinking the same thing. I think it was called #Alive or so (hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong). There are moments that feel like it's from that movie, but it is different to a degree.
Use the apartment phones to kite the hordes to the other side of the complex and get out of dodge while they try breaking down doors for ringing phones. It's one of the weird things that confused me about the Korean original. They figured out the zombies were attracted to sound, used it at one point to save the girl and never thought to use it to lead the hordes away from their exact location when they finally planned an escape.
@@alkezar9542 compared to what zombies? Every Romero zombie film pretty much had zombies who had basic memories or used tools. Day of the dead bud was 1000 times smarter than these zombies who fell for possum. Who let this guy make it back into his apartment like 10+ times. Who had food right in front of it but gets distracted by a survivor a whole building away. These zombies were average af at best.
5:50 Cell phone services will be the first to fail as the networks are overtaken by law enforcement and military agencies. It was impossible to make a phone call in the DC Metro within minutes of the 9/11 attack. Cell phones can really be useful as a "light-weight" library by downloading survival PDFs, maps, and plant identification guides before an emergency. They are also clocks, flashlights, calculators, calendars, cameras etc. It never hurts to buy a small solar powered battery bank either.
Gotta love how this movie is pretty much a #alive clone, the scene with the guy who got bit by his roommate and the one with him banging himself is pretty much the same as the scene from that movie
It’s not really a clone, the script is made by the same people and was passed to 2 groups who decided to make an American and a Korean version. That’s why the American group sued Netflix when they released an English dub for Alive because the American version was supposed to be handled by the American group.
Gotta love how people like you will just assume everything you don’t like is a rip off/and/or illegal clone. The movies were made from the same script, it’s supposed to be like this. Is the movie good? Not necessarily, but you really need some critical thinking skills beyond “similar plot= rip off.” Like, acting so confident when you’re so blatantly misinformed just makes you look stupid.
One barricade I'd suggest for doorhandles(mostly office doors), is to take a chair and slide one of the back legs between the handle and the door. Then yank the chair by its backing away from the doorframe so that the back of the chair is laying over the wall, nobody will be able to pull the door open no matter how hard they try.
I was wondering how someone with that mindset would've survived ,especially since it sounds like the comment that someone that requires a Starbucks coffee to survive would say and probably the kind of person that avoids 'industrialized food"....but maybe she is just REALLY sarcastic and witty.
Alot of zombie movies in my opinion don't seem to realize that unless it's a virus that is effecting the victim after death, all you need to do in the apocalypse is survive till the main hordes die of hunger, zombies in movies at least rarely cannibalize themselves and primarily feed off of victims so once the sizable group of victims goes away that large group of infected people looking for fresh people to infect and eat is gone and thus begins the starvation phase, I actually think they covered this aspect in the sequel to 28 days later where the rage virus almost completely died out due to the zombies starving.
I was so sure I didn't see this movie, but something about it was so familiar. For anyone else who got that feeling, It's extremely similar to #alive. Like scene for scene. I'm not sure if it's a remake because I think they came out around the same time, but they definitely have very similar scripts.
Apparently it was the same script sold to two different companies, one to make a korean version, one to make an american version. They're basically the same movie, just different countries.
basically the best way to survive here is literally be prepared. second thing is get a drone. have the most annoying one that has noise, attached a even louder noise object or siren to it and just have it float there and away from the complex when you feel you got a majority out. all you have to do is clear the rooms and your good for those locked in their rooms just open them up get to the next room and do the drone all over again. issue is for the zombies to come back which is why they need to figure out leaving is the best option.
I always loved the idea of zombies that are intelligent, just like how the virals in dying light will dodge back, feign attacks, and can easily get to high up locations using the same parkour as you, even telling you to stop and yielding just to get back up and attack. It's absolutely terrifying
Yeah honestly dying light is a terrifying masterpiece it's insane how the developers made another zombie that makes you completely forget about the viral (of course I'm talking abt the volatile)
I liked this movie alot of people were negative because it was somewhat slow, but thats what makes it good because you see the struggle and how isolation can mess with a person.
@@krypton1142 It's not a rip off and in fact I think this movie script was completed first, then the writer went on to work with someone else on what became #Alive, which was released before this one was the same year.

@@zhoufang996 Assuming she didn't need plot armor, the fact that she survived just as long as Aidan should give her a higher score than him by default.
points have to be earned, knowing a fridge against the door means someone is inside is base knowledge, something protag probably thought of and just didn't care cause they needed supplies, maybe she does deserve a higher score, but we didnt see her do enough with the screen time she was used in to really earn it. She was more used as motivation for Aiden far as I could see, she was the only reason he didn't kill himself, she was the only reason he left his apartment several times in dramatic fashion each time. She didn't get enough agency from the writers is what I think.

Just from the opening scene of the neighbor I was like dang this looks like an exact copy of #Alive. But turns out the movie script was sold to two different groups, one to make it in Korean and the other to make it in English. So the group who made Alone sued netflix for releasing an English dub of #Alive since it violated their claim to the english version of the story.
Okay I thought I was crazy I'm happy to know that I wasn't XD
I saw #alive on netflix and thought the same thing, but I never would have thought about that there were two groups creating two versions. Thanks for the explanation.
I was thinking it was too similar
It seems like more of an attempt to garner more money for the piece. They wouldn't have sued at all had Alone not done so terribly. That said... #alive is just a better adaptation. I dunno. I'm not sure how adding an English dub is actually infringement. I guess it would depend on the exact language of the agreement? I would be pretty surprised if this made it to court. If it wasn't thrown out I assume Netflix would have just settled as a nuisance. I mean it's not a new practice the idea of making something more accessible due to the language barrier for something you had permission to actually create? That's not an infringement. I wonder what the outcome was?

I would say he is as smart as ordinary person. He simply had some common sense.

With doors like these, there's actually a third option. The exposed auto-closing hinge at the top of the door can be bound together with a belt or some other object. Depending on the tether used, it can be a fairly powerful barricade that doesn't require you to move a heavy object. Plus, it can be used supplementary to any of the other barricade options you choose since it takes up no space.
I love the toddler level intelligence for zombies, imagine being able to time laying down and a hoard walks over you, or quick cornering stops a pursuit, but if you linger, make noise, they will strategise.
The ending to this is what always makes me think about world war z where brad made very solid bite resistance guards. Like you think about it zeds are guna for arms and legs first.
Common movie problem I see: Aren't vents... loud if you climb through them? I feel like someone shuffling along metal plates that get an echo effect for any period of time is gonna make tons of noise. For a situation like this I guess the zombies won't be able to discern where in the vents you are but still.

Yes. I thought #Alive was just ok, this version looks like shit. The setting doesn't even makes sense, there should be guns everywhere in this one.
This American version of #Alive does some things better than the Korean film, I like how the movie ends with the 2 still stuck in the complex, I like that the complex is smaller for tighter combat and easier access to each other, and I like that the Zombies in this one stay true to their korean counter part, and they didn't do the "They have limited vision and hearing" and instead just went with they can hear and see perfectly, making all the scenss where Aiden gets spotted or heard, make sense, instead of being Inconsistent.

These types of zombies are the worst to be stuck with. There is no way I would be surviving a single day in a world like this.

These zombies are far from the worst one's we have seen in movies. If laying down and playing dead works, then the zombies aren't that dangerous. I would love to have this version of zombies over the one's that have super human abilities.
@Squilliam Fancyson I've watched a lot of zombie movies, and these are some of the weakest one's. You don't need to be fit to play dead. These zombies would also easily be killed by just making one loud sound and attacking them at once with guns or explosives. Do you know the one thing that a lot of Americans have? Guns.
@Squilliam Fancyson I'm not saying that's someone's first thought, but plenty of desperate people will find out it works, and that could be an easy strategy to beat these zombies. I also pointed it out to show how dumb these zombies are, and wasn't just the only thing that makes these zombies beatable. Uninfected humans would be panicking initially, but these zombies will be figured out quick after they find out their simple weaknesses.
I can't say they are zombies since the person is still alive and are called cannibals in the movies
Honestly if nerd explains was in cast of one of these movies, he would be the first ever person to quickly get out of a deadly situation in less than 10 minutes..
@Cute Zabilla Shut up
C'mon man, let's be real. It's much different to make videos about what you would do, and what you'd actually do in that situation. If a zombie in front of you, he ain't giving you enough time to theorize possible ways to escape them. Just on the real, no hate to Nerd explains, love his videos
My guy would be throwing people as meat shields or zombie scooby snacks then sprinting away into his heavily armoured well stocked up base 🤣
Not likely. If he were cast into one of these movies he would have to play the exact role they paid him for. I enjoy these videos especially compared to Cinema Summary which expects people to have some psychic ability to recognize they are in a death game. Or cheers on the idea of killing opponents without enough information to conclude you are in a death game. Most of these videos don't actually account for the real issues adrenaline causes in the decision-making process. Expecting people in an unreasonable situation to act reasonably is not reasonable.
Nah, he'd think he'd be that guy and would end up getting people killed and then dying himself in a really ironic way
"Every room contains a zombie until we know it doesn't" Absolutely genius!

You should play project zomboid
Just a thought but, at 9:45 in the video you say to put a knife through his zombified girlfriend's eye. That is not the better place for killing a zombie. Instead, you want to aim at the cerebellum in the back part of her head or right underneath the first or second vertebrae, right where the neck starts, this will disconnect the rest of her spine from her brain and making her unable to move.

@@krypton1142 You can wrap yourself in clothes. A thick 4 layer shirt will definitely stop anything that would even get near your skin. You could also use your oven to melt and forge makeshift armor with household metals like a spoon.

This scenario would actually makes killing zombies more of a challenge. Knowing that there's still aa person in there watching everything happen but can't stop themselves could cause hesitation in the survivor and lead to their death.

Totally agree on that bit about him going down the balcony to throw the walkie talkie. Stupid decisions like these really takes me out of the movie. But for the other ones, I think Aiden did a pretty solid job given that he didn't have time to think things thoroughly due to the pressure and unpredictability of things happening.
I watched this movie after seeing this video and being excited about the prospect of "smart" zombies. After watching it, I didn't see smart zombies. I saw a DUMB DUMB protagonist who, despite every warning that a violent death was literally outside his door since Day 1, kept making SO MUCH NOISE and attracting attention. It almost seemed like he wanted everyone to hear him. Breaking mirrors, making vlogs, playing guitar, slamming laptops, dropping bottles, having the TV turned up, etc. There's plot armor and then there's whatever movie magic this movie's main character has. What did the zombies do that was smart? They just moved towards all the noise Aiden kept making.
Zombies are smart comparing to him, LOL =)
If you, as a zombie, in this specific scenario retain memories but try to infect the uninfected, wouldn't everyone be infected at some point and things can go back to normal because they have no reason to attack anyone?
That’s interesting to think about
It's kind of the premise from the Marvel Zombies comics. Where the heroes still pertain their intelligence and are aware of their actions, but they just have the irresistible urge to feed. So the undead heroes form an alliance and start to ravage anything alive in that world and eventually the entire planet works as normal, but they're zombies or something like that, until they start figuring out how to head to other planets to feed on them as well.

One thing that always bothers me is the energy conservation almost all zombies seem to have in these stories. A human needs to eat and drink constantly or be at risk of involuntarily passing out while zombies can run for months straight with no need for proper food and water. Also even if they get their food from eating humans their body structure should start to weaken heavily from a terrible food source. Ok rant over :D
That's what I was thinking. They would die without water in about 3 days. Unless these smart zombie are drinking toilet water or something
the virus forces them to move. energy or not. you move till you physically can't.
@@kazama195 well that's where my question is. A person only has so much energy and that time where "you are forced to move until you can't" would be like 5 days to 2 weeks and that's being generous.
The zombies and their bodies would start to decay. I don’t remember how long it takes for them to become skeletons.
@@missinvisible now that I think about it you wouldn't even need them to be skeletons for them to be non functioning. A couple mildly decayed leg muscles and it can no longer walk and the same goes with arms and legs. Though my best guess would be they die of dehydration in like 5 days tops.
If they are alive but cant control their actions. Wouldnt that mean that after like 5 days people would start dropping from dehydration?

@@stevenvaughn8431 Isnt that the reason they also had the Walking-Dead Series moving up north in the states?

Realistically yes, but in most fiction zombies tend to have thier biology altered somewhat so that they can survive things humans normally wouldn’t, like gunshots, stabs and ruptured organs - if it isn’t the brain, it isn’t dead, in most cases of fictional zombies.
I can’t explain how these zombies might survive dehydration, but perhaps the blood they would consume from thier victims is stored internally like a cactus plant, so a few bites which gets blood into thier mouth might be enough “liquids” for a few days perhaps.
@@Sid_Black I didn't even know about that, that's very interesting
I don't get so they would die again 🤦🏾♂️
The “sound trap” might encourage zombies on the ground floor to break the windows to get to it, causing ing the entire building to be compromised.

The idea of using a mirror is great for checking through a room without having to put yourself in danger. However, as proven before these zeds have an almost animal like behavior against uninfected. Instead, something I would do is close every door I come across and knock, alerting the zeds on the inside and, hopefully, sending them into a frenzy. Then you could try using the mirror to peer beneath the doorway or just punch a hole through the door and smash a couple of heads.

I don't speak for every version of zombies, but aren't they just moving corpses? They technically don't even need to eat or drink since their bodies are dead. The only reason why they devour living things is because of instinct. They do eventually decay if left alone for a long while.

Ha. I thought so. Thank you @coolguywithafreezer.
Happy someone explained the correlation between #ALIVE bc i was like AYO this is a carbon copy
"How to beat alone" is a crazy thumbnail 😭😭
Use the apartment phones to kite the hordes to the other side of the complex and get out of dodge while they try breaking down doors for ringing phones. It's one of the weird things that confused me about the Korean original. They figured out the zombies were attracted to sound, used it at one point to save the girl and never thought to use it to lead the hordes away from their exact location when they finally planned an escape.
This movie is almost exactly like "Alive" that other zombie movie.
Yeah, it’s because a guy sold his script of the movie to two companies
@@tqco6877 ohhhhhh
What's the movie name
@@ItzzHYP3R #Alive
We need more smart zombies like these in films. Definitely raises tension.
They weren't even smart though!
@@l.k.9666 they are genius compared to the others
@@alkezar9542 compared to what zombies? Every Romero zombie film pretty much had zombies who had basic memories or used tools. Day of the dead bud was 1000 times smarter than these zombies who fell for possum. Who let this guy make it back into his apartment like 10+ times. Who had food right in front of it but gets distracted by a survivor a whole building away. These zombies were average af at best.
Technically I don't think they were dead, just very sick, and was slowly dying
The Crazies
5:50 Cell phone services will be the first to fail as the networks are overtaken by law enforcement and military agencies. It was impossible to make a phone call in the DC Metro within minutes of the 9/11 attack. Cell phones can really be useful as a "light-weight" library by downloading survival PDFs, maps, and plant identification guides before an emergency. They are also clocks, flashlights, calculators, calendars, cameras etc. It never hurts to buy a small solar powered battery bank either.
Wow! That’s the first time I’ve ever seen nerd explains give a star rating to the characters…I hope that continues…
Awesome advice. I want you on my team during the zombie apocalypse.
Better than having cinema summary 😭
9:30 she vented
🤣🤣😭😭
Has beed ejected. She was an imposter
Oh wow, the environment is very similar to one of my dream. The building and how they are so close to each other, also with the different colors.
Gotta love how this movie is pretty much a #alive clone, the scene with the guy who got bit by his roommate and the one with him banging himself is pretty much the same as the scene from that movie
It’s not really a clone, the script is made by the same people and was passed to 2 groups who decided to make an American and a Korean version. That’s why the American group sued Netflix when they released an English dub for Alive because the American version was supposed to be handled by the American group.
But 🌟americanized🌟
@@dungww2006 Damn Netflix stay making bad decisions SMDH lol
This movie is actually the original the Korean version was just released first
Gotta love how people like you will just assume everything you don’t like is a rip off/and/or illegal clone. The movies were made from the same script, it’s supposed to be like this. Is the movie good? Not necessarily, but you really need some critical thinking skills beyond “similar plot= rip off.” Like, acting so confident when you’re so blatantly misinformed just makes you look stupid.
One barricade I'd suggest for doorhandles(mostly office doors), is to take a chair and slide one of the back legs between the handle and the door. Then yank the chair by its backing away from the doorframe so that the back of the chair is laying over the wall, nobody will be able to pull the door open no matter how hard they try.
"If virals from Dying Light trapped you inside your urban apartment building alone, what would you do?"
I love this comparison
Zombie movies never take into account that zombies would inevitably starve and rot, unless they were solar powered like a plant.
Aidan: I have a ton of bottled water!
Eva: that's bad for the environment
Me: Bitch are you serious right now?
For real. Zombies and that’s what she’s worried about?
You aree dying a virgin. She was joking with him lol
@@sabrinastratton1991 it is literally a joke to lighten the mood in universe.
I was wondering how someone with that mindset would've survived ,especially since it sounds like the comment that someone that requires a Starbucks coffee to survive would say and probably the kind of person that avoids 'industrialized food"....but maybe she is just REALLY sarcastic and witty.
@@ricardokojin7 Are you guy's serious? Did you watch the movie?
i love these videos
i feel like i could survive everything after watching these
wow, this might be the first ever zombie video you have done where the zombies are unbeaten.
6:11 you can download the entire Wikipedia onto a hard drive as long as u have a laptop and some power u have the whole internet at your disposal
Alot of zombie movies in my opinion don't seem to realize that unless it's a virus that is effecting the victim after death, all you need to do in the apocalypse is survive till the main hordes die of hunger, zombies in movies at least rarely cannibalize themselves and primarily feed off of victims so once the sizable group of victims goes away that large group of infected people looking for fresh people to infect and eat is gone and thus begins the starvation phase, I actually think they covered this aspect in the sequel to 28 days later where the rage virus almost completely died out due to the zombies starving.
I was so sure I didn't see this movie, but something about it was so familiar.
For anyone else who got that feeling, It's extremely similar to #alive. Like scene for scene. I'm not sure if it's a remake because I think they came out around the same time, but they definitely have very similar scripts.
Apparently it was the same script sold to two different companies, one to make a korean version, one to make an american version. They're basically the same movie, just different countries.
basically the best way to survive here is literally be prepared. second thing is get a drone. have the most annoying one that has noise, attached a even louder noise object or siren to it and just have it float there and away from the complex when you feel you got a majority out. all you have to do is clear the rooms and your good for those locked in their rooms just open them up get to the next room and do the drone all over again. issue is for the zombies to come back which is why they need to figure out leaving is the best option.
That thumbnail made me do a double take
I always loved the idea of zombies that are intelligent, just like how the virals in dying light will dodge back, feign attacks, and can easily get to high up locations using the same parkour as you, even telling you to stop and yielding just to get back up and attack. It's absolutely terrifying
Yeah honestly dying light is a terrifying masterpiece it's insane how the developers made another zombie that makes you completely forget about the viral (of course I'm talking abt the volatile)
@@abirmawi2808 I play on nightmare mode, so virals (even during the endgame) are still a major threat
@@sillylilstella oh yeah totally
I liked this movie alot of people were negative because it was somewhat slow, but thats what makes it good because you see the struggle and how isolation can mess with a person.
I adored this movie as well.
People are negative because its a complete rip off of another video
@@krypton1142 It's not a rip off and in fact I think this movie script was completed first, then the writer went on to work with someone else on what became #Alive, which was released before this one was the same year.
@@l.k.9666 no they were written at the same time it was meant to be American and Asian versions. This was inferior.
I love the concept of zombies with the intelligence of a 2 year old.
I'd really like to, for once, see a zombie apocalypse were the zombies actually slowly vanish due to starvation or dehydration.
