my daughter is a zombie

The GAR virus has been defeated: Korea is finally zombie-free! Almost. Since out there, the 15-year-old Soo-ah is still gurgling, drooling, and nibbling away — the last undead person in the country. Her father firmly believes that she will someday return to being the cheerful teenager she once was. The authorities, however, prefer shooting to healing. Together with her grandma, he defends the teen zombie girl against informers and cleanup squads — and protects other people from her occasional hunger attacks.

An audience award, six nominations at the Korean Blue Dragon Awards (including best film, best director, and performances), and its status as Korea’s most successful film of 2025 speak for itself: this quirky webtoon adaptation hits the jackpot! That’s thanks to its compelling characters as much as to its countless crazy ideas — or have you ever seen a moonwalking zoo tiger? Exactly. This “family” film has bite, and a heart that beats surprisingly warm despite the whiff of decay.
