The Ritual, Train to Busan, How it Ends, Day of the Dead : Bloodline, Ravenous

Watched the above movies as mentioned in the subject line.
All the movies were watched on Netflix.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Ritual

• I liked the movie.
• This movie is shot in Romania though the setting is Sweden in the movie.
• Almost for 1 hour we are kept in suspense as to what is attacking them.
• I felt it is like Blair Witch project kind of thing.
• But the creature is not a witch or paranormal thing but is an "actual creature".
• The glowing eyes makes us feel/show that it could be an Extraterritorial or Alien being though not much is expanded about it.
• Towards the end the creature remains.
• But in the end they show a highway very close to the forest and how is it possible to get lost I could not understand.
• And will cell phone not work when you are this close to highway.
• Or maybe the hero came out from the other side of the forest.
• And how did the forest people live without access to modern civilization.
• Maybe it could be like M.Night Shyamalan movie "The Village" scenario.
• But population gets killed by the creature and is it possible for people to thrive in such kind of situation.
• But the creature has quality of "mind control" as it can enter the sub conscious as hero and his friends get dreams and nightmares on the way.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Train to Busan

• This movie is a classic.
• One thing I have learnt about Korean movies that family is central to them.
• Family bonding is very important and integral part of the story.
• This is very good well made movie.
• After watching this movie I have come to the conclusion that I will not survive a Zombie Apocalypse.
• Never ever I will make it.
• Maybe I may survive for a day or two but then I will capitulate.
• Because I stay in an apartment and Zombies will walk around and I will find no escape.
• Actually man feels hunger and he needs to step out to get supplies and that is when the Zombies will get you.

---------------------------------------------------------------
How it Ends

• This movie shows a mysterious phenomena happening on the West Coast of US around Seattle.
• It mysteriously knocks out power in Chicago which is thousands of miles away.
• That prompts our hero to make a cross country trip from Chicago. 
• On the way the hero's accompaniment namely his father in law dies.
• Another garage worker mysteriously decides to accompany them to Seattle on the way to fulfill California dreams (Is it possible when the world is coming apart).
• On the way there are attacks from fellow human beings (Americans) who want either supplies or vehicle or simply don't want you to be there.
• On the way Military supplies trains have mysteriously derailed.
• But in Seattle when our hero reaches mysteriously his wife and a neighbour are still alive when millions are dead.
• Then again the natural phenomena happens and our hero manages to race across and cross over to Canada where supposedly nothing has happened.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Day of the Dead : Bloodline

• This is a movie which shows how zombies have taken over the world.
• In the age of Corona Virus these Zombie movies feel quite "real" 
• I mean you become a "carrier" and then you can infect another.
• Only way to avoid the infection is to avoid getting into contact or "getting bitten" with these "carriers" or "Zombies".
• In this movie they have shown that a vaccine is still possible as they come into contact with a person who shows the traits of humans as well as zombies.
• Using that person blood the heroine manages to make a vaccine and save her love interest.
• Some can be saved using antibiotics but when one gets infected then vaccine can work for only those bitten on arms and slightly bitten elsewhere.
• Those bitten around neck will face certain "conversion" into zombies.
• Plus those who have been ripped apart including internal organs certainly they cannot be saved.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Ravenous

• This is one solid movie.
• Canadian French language movie set in rural countryside in Quebec.
• Definitely worth watching.
• This reinforces my stand that no way I can survive a Zombie Apocalypse.
• This 2018 movie and Train to Busan movie makes me 100% sure/certain that no way I can survive a Zombie Apocalypse.
• I liked the movie so much that I will recommend all to watch.
• It is like fighting against Zombies is a losing battle.
• As they are so much in number and unlike humans they can survive in hostile conditions like standing outside, standing for long hours, loitering around, etc.
• They can also eat everything including rotten meat.
• But that is where chemistry, physics and biology come into the picture as one force.
• Can a zombie survive. And if it can for how long.
• Because humans need food and sleep and air and water to survive.
• What do Zombies need?
• Can they survive without food and water. If so then for how long.
• I mean are they even possible just like time travel or dragons. 
• Are they just a figment of human imagination?
• Are they just the stuff of science fiction.
• But still we can feel and relate to Coronavirus and how its creating a panic situation just like so called zombie apocalypse might have had.
• But thing is from Zombie Apocalypse the world will never recover, world ends and/or never be the same like it used to be and "people lost for good" but the Corona virus effect may subside and world may return as it was before and people get recovered and still experience growth and the dynamics like it was before.
