Following a motley crew on a bumpy ride from Seoul to Busan to escape a zombie outbreak, writer-director Yeon Sang-ho’s action-horror railroad movie “Train to Busan” pulses with relentless locomotive momentum. As an allegory of class rebellion and moral polarization, it proves just as biting as Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi dystopia “Snowpiercer,” while delivering even more unpretentious fun. Yeon has displayed recognizably cinematic sensibilities in his last three indie anime features — “King of Pigs,” “Fake” and “Seoul Station” — so it’s not surprising that he transitions easily into live-action, though his scathing, nihilistic vision of humanity is watered down for wider mainstream appeal. Buyers for Asian-friendly genre products should clamber to board “Train.”

Looks fun, but seeing zombies in anything now just gets a bit of a sigh from me.

Normally, I would agree. But, this being a film from South Korean director Yeon Sang-ho intrigues me.

So I'm guessing this didn't come out in July in the US?

Incredible movie. Easily in my top 5 best Zombie (or infected) film ever made. If you have this in your city, go see it. Hollywood will for sure be doing a remake of this.

Though I would agree Zombie fatigue has definitely set in, one can never underestimate what a talented director might bring to the genre.

Just when I'd had it with vampires, Only Lovers Left Alive came out and I loved it.I was less enthused with A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night and Byzantium, but both had their strengths and individual vision.

Will certainly give this a try.

I don't think any director can overcome my disinterest in anything zombie related at this point.

X400 · 09-24-2016, 07:31 AM

This was easily the best zombie movie/show I've seen in at least 10 years if not longer, and yes that includes 28 weeks later in there (where I only loved the opening, which I would rate as good or better than Train to Busan)

I had my doubts that South Korea of all places (never seen a Zombie movie out of there) would be able to come out with a zombie movie that can teach the rest of the world a thing or two

Easily 4.5/5

darkness2918 · 09-24-2016, 07:57 AM

This movie was great, cant wait to own it. One of the best zombie movies ive ever seen.

Huh? Are you sure you're not getting North and South mixed up there.

I think it's less the fact it's good and the bit about teaching the world a thing or two. I think it's more a comment on country than the quality. It was just a bit of a strange phrase is all.

Gerby · 09-24-2016, 01:14 PM

I thought it was good but not amazing given all the hype I had heard about it.

i meant teaching hollywood/uk a thing or two about the zombie genre

considering hollywood/uk having been barfing out zombie movie attempts for ages now

i dont recall any korean zombie films, their horrors have been soso tho

Creasy47 · 10-11-2016, 06:30 PM

Korean horror is 'so-so'? You gotta watch "I Saw The Devil."

Can't wait to own 'Train to Busan' on blu-ray.
