Pretty much symbolizes the Korean War.

Sad there were not more survivors.
This movie is symbolic of the first stages of the Korean War.
North Korea pushed the South Korean and US forces back until they could be stopped at was was called the Pusan Perimeter. That last river in the movie was the Nakatong.

This Movie Puts Brad Pitt's World War Z to Shame

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

I do not like zombie movies. Didn't like them in Game of Thrones. But, this movie is one of the best movies I have seen in recent years. It is definitely the best zombie movie, ever. So much more than a zombie movie. I am blown away by the special effects and the story lines. The characters and actors are so well developed and interesting. The leading actor was probably a little too handsome. This movie puts Brad Pitt's World War Z to shame. I would say that this movie puts Game of Thrones zombie story line to shame as well. It reminded me of Snowpiercer from train perspective. This movie should have won several academy awards.

Thrilling Korean film mixing 28 Days Later (2002) & World War Z (2013) w/ bits of Dawn of the Dead (2004) & Snowpiercer (2013).

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017

One of the better zombie films I’ve seen in a while, and featuring gorgeous shots and excellent characters. This is a major win and a thrilling ride, mixing the best of 28 Days Later (2002) and World War Z (2013) with a dash of Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Snowpiercer (2013).

The premise is simple enough: “While a zombie virus breaks out in South Korea, passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan (—IMDB).” It begins when, after a chemical leak from a nearby biotech facility, we witness the startling reanimation of a road-killed deer.

Director and writer Sang-ho Yeon (The Fake, The King of Pigs) gives us time to get to know our characters: a divorced businessman and his daughter (Soo-an) whom he barely knows. Their relationship is strained and she wants to return to her mother’s house. So, the next day they board the train to Busan. Their timing couldn’t have been better as the city was taking fire and the wave of zombies would narrowly miss the departure of their train. Or would they…? It appears that one bite victim got on…

In no time the infected turns, bites another, those two infect two more, and in minutes we have a little zombie apocalypse in our train car microcosm. The incubation period for this virus is apparently only seconds, during which the body violently convulses and thrashes, complete with joint cracking sounds and spastic movements throwing back to Raimi’s deadite stylings of the 80s. These speedy viral zombies remind me of the bum-rushing feral undead in Dawn of the Dead (2004) and 28 Days Later (2002). And with this peril, Soo-an (Soo-an Kim; Memories of the Sword) and her father Seok-woo (Yoo Gong; Goblin) find a reason to bond: survival!

As Soo-an’s father tries to save her, she voices her sadness that he only cares for himself. During his fight to survive, our once selfish Seok-woo becomes a better man, makes an unlikely friend and both become unlikely heroes brave fearful mobs under mass hysteria driven by the most despicable bad guy of the year!

The special effects, physical zombie-acting and stunts are on point. From the zombie deer (CGI; in the opening sequence) to the scores of World War Z-esque (2013) zombies flooding over surfaces like a twitchy deluge, the reanimated movement was perfect and unnerving. They fall from the sky and off buildings, then scramble towards all life with their mouths slack-jawed and their dislocated limbs wildly flailing about. The stunt men must’ve had fun with this, but also likely found challenges with the close-quarter train car combat (think Snowpiercer, but tighter like Oldboy).

Between the hyper-scrambly zombies climbing over each other like the spilled-over denizens of a kicked ant mound and the sniveling bad guy who would soullessly do anything to survive, I found myself feistily yelling at the screen about a dozen times. This movie has its real emotional moments (especially getting heavy at the end), but it likewise has its fun thrills!

From cityscapes and train station chase scenes, to action sequences in train yards and wide angle convergences of zombie hordes, this film is gorgeously shot. And what a gorgeous framework for a broad cast of likable characters (with even some of the minor roles being quite memorable).

I can’t sing its praises enough. Now go watch this movie!

This zombie movie ROCKS!

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2017

I don't get to say that very often. As a dedicated zombie movie fan I've seen well over a hundred - I stopped counting last summer when I hit that number- and as any other fan would know, that means I've seen a lot of really bad ones. Low budget, no budget, bad acting, horrible makeup and effects, idiotic story lines with drive-thru plot holes, I've seen it all and I'm sure lots of you have too. Something about the idea draws the most incompetent people. The thing is, they're still a draw to the public so they keep cranking them out. So when you happen upon a really good one it's something like a miracle.

First of all this has a budget, a real budget: professional camera work, editing, sound and all technical aspects; a fairly large central cast and lots and lots of extras as both humans and zombies. You don't have to make all the mental allowances you have to make with indie films with a cast of three. The acting is good, at least as good as any standard film, and includes a child actor who really held her own in a major role. The director sets a leisurely pace at first so we get to know a few of the really major characters and that pays off by making us care about them more than the usual cardboard characters who are just zombie fodder.

To answer the usual first question a fan wants to know: these are fast zombies, very fast zombies. I'm basically a slow zombie fan. Their being dead rather than just infected people adds an extra eeriness to me. In addition, in badly made fast zombie films the makeup is so poor that they just look like an angry mob of sports fans. Not so here. These are as well done as the 28 Days/Weeks films. They're totally rabid, crazed, deranged and scary and add a lot of tension to the film. They seem to be like the World War Z infected in that they seem to be taken over by a virus that wants to spread itself through bites rather than really devouring people.

This is a Korean film subtitled in English. Subtitles never bother me, and as the price of admission to this film it's worth it. After all, the dialogue in zombie movies is never their strong point anyway. The plot involves a bio-agent that has escaped a lab and is causing the usual Z.A. Things are only beginning to go bad as the train takes off full of passengers, including a high school baseball team, who think they're taking a normal bullet train trip. As the situation gets worse the train, originating in Seoul in the northern part of South Korea must race across the country to a safe zone in Busan, a city on the south coast. There is a scene at one of the train stations along the way that will become a real classic zombie scene. Some people try to nit pick the film over minor details or it's two-hour length. Maybe it could use a little editing, and there are a few issues as there are in any film, but when you come across a zombie movie that delivers like this you really shouldn't be complaining.

D J Jackson: Passionate about Film.

WE WERE YELLING AT THE SCREEN! A TERRIFYINGLY BRILLIANT 6 STAR FILM.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is a review of the 2017 Region B2 Blu-ray from Studiocanal. This is a very high quality product, with a clear, bright, sharp picture in 1.85:1, with particularly good, clear, sound, and excellent English subtitles. There are some extras.

Wow! and Wow again! In the last few years we have become big fans of Korean cinema, and have pretty well enjoyed everything we have seen. But nothing had prepared us for this film! It absolutely blew our socks off, and if ever a film deserved 6 Stars, then this is it! So, why?

The film is a meaty 118 minutes, and like all good disaster movies, from ‘Airport’(1970) onwards, it begins by providing some nice context. We see the ‘smoking gun’, the little incident out on an isolated road, that shows something is seriously amiss. And we meet the two leading characters: Seok-woo, the driven, workaholic fund manager, and his lonely school-age daughter Su-an, who lives with him and his Mum. We see the rather sad domestic events, that lead Seok-Woo to agree to take his daughter for a birthday trip to Busan on the train the following morning, to see her Mum, his estranged wife.

The main characters number about half a dozen, with another half dozen main supporting roles. They are all very good, nicely drawn, well and believably acted, and interesting. They have some real depth to them, and over the 118 minutes of the film, we see them develop, and in some cases, grow. But one is a really solid hissable villain, which is always nice! The dialogue is good, with some humour, some seriously caustic wit, some genuine pathos. Keeping the character numbers slim, amongst a very large cast of extras (a train-load in fact), gives us an opportunity to get to know and like them, to feel engaged, and vested in their survival.

The plot is simple. This is, after all, a Zombie movie, and the main storyline is therefore not rocket science. But screenwriter Park Joo-suk manages a classic coup, by ensuring that all the action takes place in a closed, inescapable, location ~ a moving Express train (and very smart it looks incidentally ~ eat your heart out if you normally travel on our old rolling stock!). Trains and stations are used to excellent effect, throughout. This is as much a love letter to train travel, as it is a Zombie movie. Several real stations (Daejeon, Cheonan and East Daegu) were used as sets.

The action ~ and there is a LOT of action ~ is superbly choreographed and stage-managed. The filming is quite brilliant. The details and detailing of the various chase and 'jeopardy' scenes are exceptionally well done. We found ourselves yelling at the screen, time and again! That is how good it is ~ we were totally engrossed and absorbed by what was unfolding before us.

This is the genuine article: a seriously scary, believable, horror film, chock-full of top-notch action, with excellent characterisation and even some biting social comment ~ watch carefully the office scenes at the start, to see the probably explanation for the disaster, which doesn’t reflect too kindly on Hedge Funds! This is terrifyingly brilliant, 6 Star, entertainment.

Best. Zombie. Movie. Ever.

Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2024

This is no "Walking Dead" that you hate-watch with friends to talk about how dumb it is: These are zombies to be feared in a truly suspenseful situation with characters you can relate to. The pile-on at the end was dumb but not so much that it ruined what is otherwise a fantastic movie. This is to the zombie genre what "The Host" was to the monster genre.

Buy it, watch it, then lend it to your friends so they can see how good a zombie movie can be.

This is a really great zombie movie with a lot of heart. Wonderful cast of characters and a great train setting. The film does a great job at world-building, and the situation tends to feel truly relentless. Along with "All of Us are Dead", this is one of my favorite zombie stories in recent years. Looks very good in 4k as well.

Si no leen o entienden inglés no compren esta película. El anuncio dice que está doblada al español y al francés pero solo trae opción de audio en coreano y en inglés. Y solo trae subtítulos en inglés. Compré esta versión en 4K porque el Blu-ray tampoco traía subtítulos en español pero no sirvió de nada. La diferencia de imagen entre ambas versión no es tan notable aunque sí en la calidad del audio.
