How it scared people
The vibe
A gamer-streamer trapped alone in a Seoul high-rise, rationing instant noodles and losing his grip, until a laser pointer starts writing messages on his wall from the apartment across the courtyard. It went global on Netflix in September 2020, which is not a coincidence — the film cares far more about isolation than about the infected. Park Shin-hye steals it.
