It’s kinda like a zombie movie, without the zombies....Humans are the real monsters and all that. Not sure about the high ratings though.
Concrete Utopia is a 2023 South Korean disaster-thriller film co-written and directed by Um Tae-hwa, based on the second part of the webtoon Pleasant Outcast. The film stars Lee Byung-hun, Park Seo-joon, and Park Bo-young.
