#From the master of thrillers, Director Pil Gam-seong, known for his comedy and 'feel'
The high production quality crafted by the nation's top-tier production team
The movie "My Daughter is a Zombie," based on the equally popular Naver webtoon with a global accumulated view count of 500 million, brings together the nation's best production team. First, Director Pil Gam-seong, noted for well-crafted thrillers like "Hostage" and "Mistaken Diagnosis Day," takes on the comedy genre for the first time, delivering sturdy directorial skills through innovative approaches that break away from genre conventions, exquisite mise-en-scène, and effective use of color. In addition, Jeon Yeong, the top choreographer of K-zombie films like "Train to Busan," "The Wailing," and "Kingdom," enhances the film's realism and urgency with special zombie movements that encapsulate character narratives. Art director Chae Kyung-seon, known for works such as "Ms. Perfect," "Exit," and "Squid Game," breathes warmth into the film with a set design reminiscent of a storybook. Moreover, veteran production crews such as makeup director Jo Tae-hee, recognized for "Hansan: Rising Dragon," "The Owl," and "All of Us Are Dead," editing director Nam Na-young, noted for "The King's Affection," "Extreme Job," and "Squid Game," and music director Kim Tae-seong, famous for "The Admiral: Roaring Currents," "1987," and "The Drug King," elevate the film's quality and amplify the audience's immersion.
#Laughter and emotion, and zombies?! Armed with the K-box office formula
Birth of the must-see summer blockbuster that must be watched in theaters!
Finally, the film accurately captures the K-box office formula with laughter, emotion, and even zombies, hitting the audience's preferences perfectly.
