The best since Dawn of the Dead - remake

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2017)

The first big budget zombie flick from South Korea. "Train to Busan" is terrific.
Starting slowly like most zombie movies (something is wrong) it takes off and does not stop until (SPOILER ALERT) almost all the main characters have been dispatched. This is non stop action and excitement for almost the entire 2 hours. Just when the zombie genre is on life support ("The Walking Dead " Season 7 is dying and killing all of us in the process), the Koreans have shown that there still is life in the genre.
There are several new elements: (SPOILER ALERT II) most of the action takes place on a train; the heroes have to fight and trick their way to other survivors; the zombies are terrific - a lot of weird jerking around (reminiscent of the priest in the opening scenes of "28 Days Later"); lots of zombies cascading through windows and falling over each other; an amazing train escape sequence you have to see; and numerous other very creative takes on the "Zombie chasing humans" device.
But this is more than just wild zombie action. This is a story about self interest; caring for others; being willing to help; a father's redemption with his daughter, and the struggle between good and evil (naturally.)
I have not enjoyed a zombie flick in many years - this one makes my all time top 10.
If you are a fan of the genre, this one is a must see. You will have a blast.
