2016 * Not Rated * 1h 58m This is not your typical zombie movie. This Korean flick goes up to 11! It’s one intense experience from the opening scene, until the very end. We first see a truck cruising down the street when it hits a deer. The driver gets out and discovers the animal is dead. However, after he drives away, the animal gets up and runs off. You know right from the get-go, something mysterious is in the air. Sure enough, there’s apparently some type of virus that’s been unleashed that instantly turns people into zombies.
The rest of the action is about a dad Seok-woo (Gong Yoo) trying to get his daughter Soo-an (Kim Su-an) from Seoul to Busan by train. It isn’t long after they leave the station before a huge band of zombies boards the train and makes their lives holy hell. It’s one bloody scene after another as the human passengers try to outwit the zombies. I thought the special effects were amazing and totally believable. As you’d expect, it’s a wild, nail-biting ride from start to finish!
