We are first introduced to the first victim of the up and coming doom...a deer. Seriously. I hate spoilers too, but watch it and you will see. Anyways, we are then introduced to our main character, Seok-woo, a fund manager who is extremely dedicated to his work. We are also introduced to his little girl Su-an, whose only wish is that her father would show her some attention and not work so much. On Su-an's birthday, her only wish to go see her mother who lives in Busan. Seok-woo agrees and accompanies her. While on the train, Su-an notices a sudden violent attack on a train worker while the train is departing. Soon an outbreak of fast running zombies accords and soon what was once a pleasant train ride becomes a fight for survival as chaos reigns in both the outside world and the train.
Zombie train. That's what this would of been titled I bet here in the states. But you can't beat this movie no matter what the title. It is that awesome. The zombies in this are like the ones in World War Z. Fast and very animal like. Which makes them even more freaky. And once your bitten, there is no wait time like, 30 minutes till you become sir bites-a-lot. No, you start shifting in less than a minute. Heck, the zombies are unable to enjoy the feast since you turn so quickly. The characters are your typical ones you get in just about every horror movie, but they are so well played in this.You got the self centered guy who redeems himself, you got the guy who is just naturally a hero, the coward, the major asshole, and the herd of people who act out of primal fear. Of course in this you know who the real asshole is and your just shouting, 'kill that prick!' In all honesty this movie really speaks to human nature in a disaster. Your either the savior, the asshole, or the sheep.
This movie is totally on my recommend list. Especially for a zombie flick. You not only get action and good on the edge of your seat thrills, you get to see karma. Watch it and you will know what I'm talking about. Now if your'll excuse me I need to check and see what is the trains emergency protocol if there is a zombie outbreak...what? There is no zombie protocol for the train??? Next thing you'll be telling me is that there isn't one for the planes...there isn't????? Ever heard of preparation???
