What happens

Get the Hell Out (Chinese: 逃出立法院) is a 2020 Taiwanese horror comedy film directed by Wang I-fan in his feature debut, co-written with Chien Shih-keng. Starring Megan Lai, Bruce Hung, Wang Chung-huang, Tuo Tsung-hua, Francesca Kao, and Da-her Lin, the film unfolds in the Legislative Yuan, the national assembly of Taiwan, where a zombie apocalypse disrupts a conference, as a former legislator (Lai) manipulates a security guard (Hung) to halt a bill for a chemical plant that caused the virus outbreak. Conceived by screenwriter Chien Shih-keng and producer Hank Tseng after The Tag-Along (2015), the screenplay began development when director-screenwriter Wang I-Fan joined the project in 2018, marking Taiwan's second zombie film after Zombie 108 (2012). Principal photography took place in the summer of 2019, primarily at the former Kaohsiung City Council Hall in Cianjin. The film had its world premiere at the 22nd Taipei Film Festival on 28 June 2020, followed by a theatrical release in Taiwan on 14 August. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its creativity and political satire, but the writing, characters, action, and unclear themes were subject to criticism. The film received two nominations in the 57th Golden Horse Awards, winning for Best Action Choreography. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
