Movies You Missed: Train to Busan
on October 27, 2018 at 12:44 amTrain to Busan is one of the best zombie movies I’ve seen in a while. Made in Korea, the movie is subtitled and doesn’t a brilliant job on every level.
The premise: it’s infected running zombies, as opposed to the undead type. After a company has some sort of accident, the infected spread quite rapidly. One bite and you’re a zombie within about a minute or two. Your eyes glaze over and you become blind in the dark.
The plot centers around a divorced dad taking his daughter to see her mother when the zombie plague breaks out. Protected somewhat on the train, the passengers and train cars become inflected one by one. You really feel for the characters and even the “evil CEO” guy has some depth. There are a few moments that feel kind of trite, but it’s overwhelmed by shocking, exciting and very scary moments. One train scene in particular toward the end, is worth the price of admission.
The price, by the way, is “free” if you have Netflix. And you should definitely watch it, bros. Big thumbs up!
