Inside Korea's Zombie Factory

Ever wondered how they create those terrifying zombies in movies? ???????? Creating a convincing zombie isn't easy, as it requires a special expertise and CELL Technical Art Studios are the masters. Working on hugely-popular zombie films such as ‘Train to Busan’, Netflix’s ‘Kingdom’ and many more, the small team have mastered the art of making rotting flesh.

And they don’t just do gore - they made props for Bong Joon-ho’s acclaimed films ‘Parasite’ and ‘Okja’.

The founder and CEO, Hwang Hyo-Kyun lives and breathes SFX, and has been deceiving audiences for more than twenty years. This cottage industry might be under threat by CGI, but Hwang’s team of experts are still in high demand.
