Hwang-ya bets on agile entertainment, with a lot of punching and well inspired by Blockbuster Cinema and the old South Korean school of Action films.
16 February 2024
A Seoul transformed into a post-apocalyptic and lawless scenario, ideal for fitting a narrative that encompasses zombie films, gore, brawls, dystopia and Action typical of the South Korean school of Cinema.

In less than 5 minutes of film, the viewer has a preview of what they will see ahead: lots of action, an agile script and impactful scenes. Hwang-ya is yet another South Korean production that brings many ideas to mind, even if they don't work correctly or serve to create an energetic script that is even overdone.

The movie ends up not paying much attention to the social and pessimistic criticism that most films with a post-apocalyptic theme have. On the other hand, it bets on agile entertainment, in a narrative with lots of exaggerations, with no time for sentimentality, with action, fights and gunshots. In this part it works and can be very suitable for those who like the old Blockbuster Cinema.
