Not yet. Can put one up in a moment.
FYI, Monstrum doesn't appear to be getting a release anywhere else in the meantime. You may have to wait for BD/DVD release before being able to catch this.

I got to watch Rampant this w/e.
Overall quite an enjoyable zombie flick in the end, though for me it doesn't compare to Train To Busan.

Spoiler: Movie details inc.

The film is primary a period/political drama, with the zombie part more of a side story.
There is a lot of focus on drama part and that slows down the pace of the movie, though once the action happens, its pretty frantic.
Film takes some liberties with the zombies - these aren't your typical "TWD" type roamers - they're "WWZ" style zombies and quite fast aggressive attackers

I think this get a mixed reaction from viewers. From the screening I went to some people were struggling to stay with the film before reaching the more interesting final third.
Given I've seen the other Korean action/horror recently - Monstrum, I think I preferred that movie over Rampant.
