My Dad Is a Zombie

Can zombie horror and family drama coexist? My Dad Is a Zombie finds a surprisingly convincing answer. For Sung-jun, a bit-part actor who specializes in zombie roles, his son Jun-hee is everything—the reason he endures it all. By chance, Sung-jun gets a chance at a more substantial role, only to see the opportunity fall through and find himself humiliated by the lead actor. Just as he prepares to leave everything behind and make a fresh start with his son, one final chance comes his way. Directed by Kwak Kyung-taek and Kang Min-woo, My Dad Is a Zombie is a family film where sorrow and laughter coexist, a bittersweet film in the fullest sense. Sung-jun always tries to appear cheerful in front of his son, but his own life may demand more endurance than any zombie role he plays. The film filters that reality through comedy, showing how the wounds we carry through life can become the very strength that allows us to protect our family.
