We'll look at each of the three stories individually, as the film contains no wrap-around story.

"A Brave New World" -- Written and Directed by Im Pil-Seong -- Seok-Woo (Seung-beom Ryu) lives with a family which constantly demeans him. They even plan a vacation without him, leaving him behind to clean their apartment. While doing this, he finds an apple which has a weird gray hole in it and disposes of it. Seok-Woo then goes on a blind date with Yoo-min (Jun-hee Ko) and while at dinner, he gets a piece of meat which has a sliver of apple core in it. A few days later, Seok-Woo begins to feel odd and he begins to have fits of violence. Soon, individuals all over the city are acting strangely -- shuffling through the streets and attacking one another.

This heavy-handed piece wants to mirror the story of Adam & Eve -- the ingesting of the apple introduces a new kind of "sin" into the world which changes mankind forever, namely by turning everyone into zombies. There is also a not so subtle message concerning how our waste is going to come back and haunt us. In addition a vegetarian agenda is also apparently at play here, as we see graphic footage of a cow being slaughtered and needless close-ups of our two main characters chewing their beef. Im Pil-Seong may have some high-minded ideas, but he has made a mistake in inserting them in what is a fairly run-of-the-mill zombie story. We get the usual moaning and gut-munching, but nothing new in this department. This wants to be on par with the messages in Dawn of the Dead or Joe Dante's Homecoming, but it misses by a mile. (I did learn that there are restaurants where you cook the meat on a grill built into the table. That was interesting.)

"The Heavenly Creature" -- Written and Directed by Kim Jee-Woon -- This tale is set in a near future where robots are common-place. Robot repairman Park Do-won (Kang-woo Kim) is called to a monastery to check on a defective robot which is named In-myun (voiced by Hae-il Park). The robot is supposed to handle the monastery's finances, but the machine has begun to talk like one of the monks and some believe that it is the reincarnated Buddha. Once Park determines that the robot is functioning as it should, the monks want to know if he thinks it could be Buddha. Ever the pragmatist, Park avoids this debate and leaves. However, Park's superiors learn of In-myun and decide to take care of the robot themselves.

"Happy Birthday" -- Written and Directed by Im Pil-Seong -- Young Min-seo's (Ji-hee Jin) father and uncle (who lives with the family) love to play pool, so when she breaks the 8-ball, she frantically goes online to order a new one. Two years later, the world is in panic, as a huge meteor is heading towards Earth at a high rate of speed. Min-seo's family has moved into an underground bunker to prepare for the impact. When a satellite image shows a close up of the meteor, Min-seo realizes that she may be the one responsible for this impending disaster and she enlists her uncle to help stop it.

Somewhere inside "Happy Birthday" is a decent episode of The Twilight Zone, but Im Pil-Seong appears to be incapable of telling a balanced story. As in "A Brave New World", this piece features very silly television news broadcasts set against the backdrop of a disaster. There's nothing wrong with injecting some humor into a scary story, but the comedy featured in the news doesn't gel at all with the rest of the story. "Happy Birthday" also suffers from a story which is too vague. The origin of the meteor is certainly interesting, but we learn too little about what is going on. Of the three stories, this one had the best chance of being truly satisfying, but the incomplete story and uneven tone doom it.

Doomsday Book goes 0-for-3 on Blu-ray Disc courtesy of Well Go USA. The film has been letterboxed at 2.35:1 and the Disc contains an AVC 1080p HD transfer which runs at an average of 25 Mbps. The image is very sharp and clear, showing no grain or defects from the source material. (Save for the finale of "Happy Birthday" which may have to do with the visual effects involved.) The colors look good and the image is never overly dark or bright. The level of detail is good, most notably in "The Heavenly Creature" and the image shows nice depth. The Disc carries a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which runs at 48 kHz and an average of 2.3 Mbps. The trace provides clear dialogue and sound effects and English subtitles are easy to read. The stereo effects are well-done and show good separation. The stereo effects come into play during the zombie attack scenes in "A Brave New World" and "Happy Birthday" offers some subwoofer effects.

The only extra on the Doomsday Book Blu-ray Disc is a trailer for the film.
