Train to Busan (2016)

Description:

Train to Busan is a 2016 Korean zombie horror film. Starring Gong Yoo (plays Seok Woo) and Ma Dong-seok (Sang Hwa). Seok Woo is a distant father and fund manager who takes his young daughter on the train to visit her mother (his ex-wife) for her birthday. Then zombies happen...

Review:

Seok Woo is a character who puts money and himself before anyone else. I loved that he was someone no one liked, but his daughter was the complete opposite of him. Right away I cared about the characters.

 

They were three-dimensional, which is unfortunately rare these days, and my heart was pounding the whole time while everyone was in danger.

Sang Hwa was a badass. The dynamic between him and Seok Woo was amazing and it was great to see the character development as the movie progressed. 

The zombies were scary because they could run like in 28 Days Later, and the movie had a claustrophobic feeling since the passengers in the train were stuck with the zombies and they couldn't get out.

 

Some scenes were predictable, but overall I loved the film and I would definitely watch it again. I highly recommend checking it out.
