Episode 351: Lost in Apocalypse (2018) aka Mo Shi Ren Jian Dao

Set during the brokering of a deal in a top end hotel local sleazebag Fu Gui tries to use junior newsreader Cindy to seduce Director Wu, the university headmaster so he can make money on a demolition and relocation real estate deal. Booze is plied, and food, whilst Fu Gui's long suffering driver and handyman Gou Sheng is told to wait down in the underground car park. But the zombie apocalypse is bubbling in the background caused by food, or so we think.

Before long Director Wu's bitten driver bursts in, kills two of the guests and Gou rushes up the building to save his boss, Cindy and college buddy Dongzshi.

Based on the graphic novel by Ruibo Cao this is a two location survival story that really fits into the out of the frying pan into the fire idiom. The hotel in which they are trapped in in the beginning and need to fight and escape from the zombies, picking up 12 year old schoolgirl Xiao and losing a couple of others along the way, and then a warehouse complex of orange jumpsuit wearing criminals and their pedophile boss. Yes, there is a lot going on.

Not ground breaking but better than expected, a 5/10 from me, on par with the other YouTube offering of the weekend, Extinction: the GMO Chronicles, which was slower but had some good zombie elements, whilst this was faster paced but lacked anything new.

Both were 5/10 for me and both are free on YouTube.
