Zombies in Korea. Panic on the train from
Seoul to Busan as more and more of the passengers and crew are attacked and
become zombies within seconds.
The film focuses on a young self-centred hedge
fund manager (Yoo), who is reluctantly accompanying his little daughter (Su-An)
to her mother in Busan, and a small group of other survivors (so far).
It’s exciting, credible, not just
dramatic but a psychological study of humans in crisis. There’s courage,
cowardice, solidarity, murderous selfishness. Some fascism emerges and there is
some character growth.
Zombie lovers of the world, do not miss this one.
