Get the Hell Out

Hsiung, a newly elected legislator who campaigns to reject a bill for a chemical plant in her hometown that could potentially spread rabies to humans, is provoked by journalists aligned with the pro-construction faction and attempts to punch a photographer. She is held back by security guard Wang, who is secretly in love with her and has deliberately chosen to work at the congress to be close to her. In her anger, Hsiung suplexes him. Li, the leader of the pro-construction legislators, uses this incident to publicly condemn Hsiung, leading to her forced resignation. Blaming Wang for her loss, Hsiung pressures him to run for office in her stead and reclaim her seat. Wang's popularity surges online, where he is hailed as a national hero for standing up against incompetent legislators and he successfully wins the election. However, he later announces his support for the construction bill at a press conference, planning to infiltrate Li's faction and sabotage their efforts to pass the bill.

On the day the president is scheduled to be questioned by legislators in the Legislative Yuan, Hsiung encounters her father, a handyman who intends to assassinate the president, outside the building, where she scolds him. Aimlessly wandering, Hsiung's father meets an acquaintance, Feng-hua. The two, who shared a romantic connection years ago, find a storage room inside the building to have sex. Hsiung enters the conference centre posing as Wang's assistant and communicates instructions to him through an earpiece. When the president and legislators enter, Li's faction seals the doors before the vote. As the hearing begins and the legislators start to argue and fight, the president, who has previously visited the chemical plant, becomes infected with rabies and turns into a zombie. Panic ensues as everyone inside the centre tries to flee, but the locked doors trap them, and many politicians and journalists fall victim to the zombies.

From her position on the balcony, Hsiung lowers her jacket to help Wang, along with her father and Feng-hua, who have just left the storage room. The group then encounters Li's faction, who escape from a passageway in another meeting room, where Li notices that Wang has a wound on his arm. Li attempts to kill Wang, but Hsiung defends him, claiming that those infected with rabies will have red eyes, and Wang's eyes remain unchanged. As the zombies break into the room, the crowd begins to fight back. During the struggle, Wang's blood splatters onto a zombie, causing it to burn, and he realizes his blood is immune. Ku, the security guard, tries to escort everyone out, but the entrance remains sealed. Li proposes using another passageway that leads from the conference centre to the outside, though the key is held by the legislative president. The survivors fight their way back into the centre, where Li manages to obtain the key but then assaults Wang, extracting some of his blood to sell as a vaccine before escaping through the passageway alone. To buy time for the others to break open the door, Hsiung's father sacrifices himself, allowing the rest to escape just in time. While searching for an exit, they re-encounter Li in the bathroom, who has injected himself with the vaccine and mutated. The four fight him together, ultimately killing Li. Feng-hua, having lost hope after Hsiung's father's death, volunteers to delay the zombies, buying time for Hsiung, Wang, and Ku to escape safely through a window.

With most politicians dead from the zombie outbreak, a massive reelection takes place. Wang informs Hsiung that he will not run for office again, returning her the legislative seat, but she refuses and instead confirms their romantic bond by kissing him. In the end, Wang faces another gangster-politician resembling Li, who scolds him in the Legislative Yuan.

After producing The Tag-Along (2015), screenwriter Chien Shih-keng and producer Hank Tseng expressed interest in making another Taiwan-based horror film and discussed potential topics, focusing on the popularity of zombie films at the time.{{Cite web |url=https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/20200821insight004 |title=活屍竟然在立法院咬人！ 他坦言：最適合台灣 |date=23 August 2020 |website=Mirror Media |author=項貽斐 |access-date=6 October 2024 |language=zh}} In the early stages of developing the story, Chien and Tseng noticed that many zombie films were set in enclosed environments, leading Chien to propose the Legislative Yuan as the backdrop, which he found it to be most iconic and representational of Taiwan. In 2018, Chien attended the screening and was impressed by director Wang I-fan's debut short film 02-06 (2018) at the Taipei Film Festival, where it won Best Short Film, and invited him to join the project.{{Cite web |url=https://www.thenewslens.com/article/148894 |title=【專訪】《逃出立法院》導演王逸帆：最喜歡的風格是「破節奏」，只要有特色就不是爛電影 |date=28 March 2021 |website=The News Lens |author=傅紀鋼 |access-date=6 October 2024 |language=zh |archive-date=6 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221206062805/https://www.thenewslens.com/article/148894 |url-status=live }} Chien described the screenwriting process as full of clashes, as Wang, who is not a fan of zombie films, often suggested incorporating elements from other genres.{{Cite web |url=https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/20200821insight006 |title=拍電影像進早餐店？ 王逸帆端出特調創意料理 |date=23 August 2020 |website=Mirror Media |author=項貽斐 |access-date=6 October 2024 |language=zh |archive-date=6 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241006113740/https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/20200821insight006 |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://tw.news.yahoo.com/%E9%80%83%E5%87%BA%E7%AB%8B%E6%B3%95%E9%99%A2%E7%B7%A8%E5%B0%8E%E7%B0%A1%E5%A3%AB%E8%80%95%E7%8E%8B%E9%80%B8%E5%B8%86%E9%9B%99%E5%8A%8D%E5%90%88%E7%92%A7%E6%8B%8D%E5%87%BA%E5%8F%B0%E7%89%87%E6%96%B0%E3%84%8E%E4%B8%80%E3%84%A4%E5%BA%A6-095811309.html |title=《逃出立法院》編導簡士耕王逸帆雙劍合璧拍出台片新ㄎ一ㄤ度 |date=23 March 2020 |website=Yahoo!

Disinterested in Hollywood zombie movie tropes, Wang did not reference them in the film, instead drawing inspiration from the works of Quentin Tarantino, Edgar Wright, and Guy Ritchie. He also brought his frequent collaborator, action choreographer Teddy Ray Huang, on board as the action director.{{Cite web |url=https://www.biosmonthly.com/article/10305 |title=你要逃，還是留下來把這裡變好？《逃出立法院》王逸帆：把「鬼島」當跳板，我不愛 |date=6 April 2020 |website=Bios Monthly |author=溫若涵 |access-date=6 October 2024 |language=zh |archive-date=15 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240415233030/https://www.biosmonthly.com/article/10305 |url-status=live }}

The project had a budget of roughly 40 million NTD, and marks Taiwan's second zombie film, following Zombie 108 (2012). Preparation for the shoot began in March 2019. To prepare for their roles, Megan Lai and Bruce Hung underwent a month of wrestling lessons and ten martial arts training sessions, respectively.{{Cite web |url=https://skypost.hk/article/2756092/%E8%B3%B4%E9%9B%85%E5%A6%8D%E6%89%93%E5%87%BA%E6%96%B0%E9%A9%9A%E5%96%9C |title=賴雅妍打出新驚喜 |date=18 September 2020 |website=Sky Post |access-date=6 October 2024 |language=zh |archive-date=6 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241006113844/https://skypost.hk/article/2756092/%E8%B3%B4%E9%9B%85%E5%A6%8D%E6%89%93%E5%87%BA%E6%96%B0%E9%A9%9A%E5%96%9C |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://www.ctwant.com/article/44424/ |title=【娛樂TeaTime】禾浩辰 一柱擎天抗喪屍 |date=6 April 2020 |website=Want China Times |author=吳姵儀 |access-date=6 October 2024 |language=zh |archive-date=19 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220819130519/https://www.ctwant.com/article/44424 |url-status=live }} The film's pre-production, filming, and post-production occurred concurrently with Temple of Devilbuster (2020), another unrelated short film by Wang I-fan.

Tim Grierson of Screen International described Get the Hell Out as a "sheer visual assault", noting that while it is filled with cheeky humor and suffers from poor character development, its "aesthetic brio" featuring "vibrant colours and frenetic editing" overshadows the film's faulty attempts at commentary and action.{{Cite web |url=https://www.screendaily.com/reviews/get-the-hell-out-toronto-review/5153030.article |title='Get The Hell Out': Toronto Review |date=12 September 2020 |website=Screen Daily |last=Grierson |first=Tim |access-date=5 October 2024 |archive-date=29 September 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210929011824/https://www.screendaily.com/reviews/get-the-hell-out-toronto-review/5153030.article |url-status=live }} Joe Lipsett of Bloody Disgusting gave the film 4/5 marks, describing it as "an adrenaline shot of gory slapstick entertainment" and praising its thrilling action, which combines elements of Kung Fu Hustle (2004) and video game Scott Pilgrim, along with its humor, visuals, and set pieces.{{Cite web |url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/reviews/3631590/tiff-review-get-hell-mixes-kung-fu-hustle-scott-pilgrim-delirious-effect/ |title=Movies[TIFF Review] 'Get the Hell Out' Mixes 'Kung Fu Hustle' and 'Scott Pilgrim' to Delirious Effect! |date=12 September 2020 |website=Bloody Disgusting |last=Lipsett |first=Joe |access-date=5 October 2024 |archive-date=6 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241006114249/https://bloody-disgusting.com/reviews/3631590/tiff-review-get-hell-mixes-kung-fu-hustle-scott-pilgrim-delirious-effect/ |url-status=live }} Chase Burns, reviewing for The Stranger, metaphorically likened watching the film to "ordering a quad espresso and injecting it straight into [one's] heart", as the story is "bloody, high-pitched, and feverishly paced".{{Cite web |url=https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2021/04/12/56463677/siff-2021-review-there-is-not-a-single-chill-moment-in-this-entire-movie |title=SIFF 2021 Review: THERE IS NOT A SINGLE CHILL MOMENT IN THIS ENTIRE MOVIE!!! |date=12 April 2021 |website=The Stranger |last=Burns |first=Chase |access-date=5 October 2024 |archive-date=17 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210517213742/https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2021/04/12/56463677/siff-2021-review-there-is-not-a-single-chill-moment-in-this-entire-movie |url-status=live }}

Estella Huang, writing for Mirror Media, considered the film a "creatively fresh work" that reflects contemporary issues in the Taiwanese Legislative Yuan, highlighting that while its length weakens the narrative strength, the well-thought-out art direction, scoring, and performances, along with director Wang I-fan's insights on the future of Taiwanese politics, make it an interesting and worthwhile watch.{{Cite web |url=https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/20200817inf001 |title=【影評】《逃出立法院》 如何逃出鬼島 |date=17 August 2020 |website=Mirror Media |last=Huang |first=Estella |access-date=5 October 2024 |language=zh |archive-date=5 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241005172925/https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/20200817inf001 |url-status=live }} Reuben Baron discussed the "complex work of political satire" in his review for Comic Book Resources, observing that the film excels as an entertaining "dumb movie" with its bloody vibes, comedy, and action, while effectively capturing a sense of "political ignorance" that echoes its themes and reflects deeper social issues particularly relevant in 2020.{{Cite web |url=https://www.cbr.com/tiff-review-zombie-movie-get-the-hell-out/ |title=TIFF: Taiwanese Zombie Action-Comedy Get the Hell Out Has a Political Edge |date=11 September 2020 |website=Comic Book Resources |last=Baron |first=Reuben |access-date=5 October 2024 |archive-date=24 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211124182921/https://www.cbr.com/tiff-review-zombie-movie-get-the-hell-out/ |url-status=live }} J. Hurtado of Screen Anarchy also lauded the film's clever satire of Taiwan's political landscape through its absurd connection between the legislature and a zombie outbreak, highlighting its well-paced and inventive action sequences that effectively blend humor, horror, and political commentary.{{Cite web |url=https://screenanarchy.com/2020/09/toronto-2020-review-get-the-hell-out.html |title=Toronto 2020 Review: GET THE HELL OUT, Adrenaline-Fueled Horror Comedy With Style to Spare |date=12 September 2020 |website=Screen Anarchy |last=Hurtado |first=J. |access-date=5 October 2024 |archive-date=14 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240714044323/https://screenanarchy.com/2020/09/toronto-2020-review-get-the-hell-out.html |url-status=live }}

Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail described Get the Hell Out as a zombie film "as interested in spilling guts as it is in skewering science-illiterate politicians", while commending its satire and political critique on issues like anti-vaccination, capitalism, and political corruption, he pointed out that the excessive energy and Mortal Kombat-like fighting sequences by the end of the film are slightly exhausting.{{Cite web |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/tiff/article-tiff-2020-globe-ratings-reviews-toronto-international-film-festival/?film=10 |title=Elevator Pitch: Dawn of the Dead meets Veep |date=11 September 2024 |website=The Globe and Mail |last=Hertz |first=Barry |access-date=5 October 2024 |archive-date=21 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121080907/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/tiff/article-tiff-2020-globe-ratings-reviews-toronto-international-film-festival/?film=10 |url-status=live }} David Crow of Den of Geek shared a similar view, while acknowledging the film's amusing premise that only could work well as "sketch comedy or a short video", he bashed on the film's clichéd script and narrative thinness, as well as the anime and video game-like action that hinders the overall pace and coherence.{{Cite web |url=https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/tiff-2020-movie-round-up/ |title=Toronto International Film Festival 2020 Movie Round-Up |date=18 September 2020 |website=Den of Geek |last=Crow |first=David |access-date=5 October 2024 |archive-date=26 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240226234718/https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/tiff-2020-movie-round-up/ |url-status=live }} Jason Gorber, giving the film a 5/10 in his review for /Film, also pointed out that it suffers from a misdirection in attempting to "craft a bit of comically violent nonsense with a dash of democratic deviance thrown in", ultimately resulting in a failure on both fronts.{{Cite web |url=https://www.slashfilm.com/576821/get-the-hell-out-review/ |title='Get The Hell Out' Review: A Wild And Bloody Slice Of Mayhem That Desperately Needs A Live Audience [TIFF] |date=25 September 2020 |website=/Film |last=Gorber |first=Jason |access-date=5 October 2024 |archive-date=20 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240520022425/https://www.slashfilm.com/576821/get-the-hell-out-review/ |url-status=live }}

David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a C, criticizing its lack of depth and arguing that while it addresses political issues through an absurd zombie narrative, it ultimately prioritizes flashy violence and chaos over meaningful commentary, resulting in the film's messages about real-life issues being drowned out by repetitive zombie-fighting tropes and reduced to mere afterthoughts.{{Cite web |url=https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/get-the-hell-out-review-1234585974/ |title='Get the Hell Out' Review: Parliament Eats Itself Alive in a Manic Zombie Movie About Braindead Politics |date=12 September 2020 |website=IndieWire |last=Ehrlich |first=David |access-date=5 October 2024 |archive-date=29 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230529155048/https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/get-the-hell-out-review-1234585974/ |url-status=live }} James Marsh of South China Morning Post gave the film 2/5 stars and shared a similar opinion, criticizing its lack of meaningful political commentary, despite its promising setup for satire in a chaotic political landscape, it focuses on frantic pacing and superficial humor over insightful critique, leaving audiences "exhausted". Katie Rife, writing for The A.V. Club, gave the film a C+ from the perspective of an international audience, remarking that while the thrilling pace and absurd premise about corruption are "great fun" for Western viewers, the political satire, culturally specific elements, and vibrant Japanese-style visuals may be "lost on Westerners".{{Cite web |url=https://www.avclub.com/chloe-grace-moretz-goes-to-war-and-a-revenge-thriller-g-1845080623 |title=Chloë Grace Moretz goes to war and a revenge thriller goes to the extreme at Midnight Madness |date=17 September 2020 |website=The A.V.

Han Cheung of Taipei Times lamented the film for focusing too heavily on its frenetic and campy zombie genre elements, which ultimately detracts from its potential for deeper political commentary and social critique, resulting in a chaotic experience that feels lacking in substance despite its entertaining moments. Review for Hong Kong Inmedia, Ben Lam offered similar comments on the film's bold attempt to blend political satire and zombie elements, as it failed to fully utilize its potential for character and story arcs, resulting in repetitive pacing and a lack of coherence that makes the film feel "uncreative and like a one-trick pony".{{Cite web |url=https://www.inmediahk.net/node/1077501 |title=《逃出立法院》：政治不能夠解決的問題 |date=19 September 2020 |website=Hong Kong Inmedia |last=Lam |first=Ben |access-date=5 October 2024 |language=zh |archive-date=16 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220916015441/https://www.inmediahk.net/node/1077501 |url-status=live }} Sek Kei was also critical on the characters in his review for Stand News, albeit praising the heroine vibes of Megan Lai's character, he found the rest of the ensemble underdeveloped, particularly the characters portrayed by Bruce Hung and Tuo Tsung-hua, and called the film less effective and appealing to the similarly themed Detention (2019).{{Cite web |url=https://www.thestandnews.com/art/%E6%88%91%E5%9C%A8%E6%99%82%E9%96%93%E7%9B%A1%E9%A0%AD%E7%AD%89%E4%BD%A0-%E5%A5%87%E5%B9%BB-%E5%85%BC%E8%AB%87%E6%9C%89%E5%96%AA%E5%B1%8D%E7%84%A1%E6%94%BF%E6%B2%BB%E7%9A%84-%E9%80%83%E5%87%BA%E7%AB%8B%E6%B3%95%E9%99%A2/ |title=《我在時間盡頭等你》奇幻 兼談有喪屍無政治的《逃出立法院》 |date=17 September 2020 |website=Stand News |last=Sek |first=Kei |author-link=Sek Kei |access-date=5 October 2024 |language=zh |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200921063208/https://www.thestandnews.com/art/%E6%88%91%E5%9C%A8%E6%99%82%E9%96%93%E7%9B%A1%E9%A0%AD%E7%AD%89%E4%BD%A0-%E5%A5%87%E5%B9%BB-%E5%85%BC%E8%AB%87%E6%9C%89%E5%96%AA%E5%B1%8D%E7%84%A1%E6%94%BF%E6%B2%BB%E7%9A%84-%E9%80%83%E5%87%BA%E7%AB%8B%E6%B3%95%E9%99%A2/ |archive-date=21 September 2020 |url-status=dead }}
