Action packed from beginning to end!

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2020)

Although zombies typically had been slow in the past with them being the "buried dead", etc., you have to admit that zombies have evolved in movies so much since the '80s. What movie would be this intense with zombies that you could easily outwalk?! With that being said, these were pretty frightening and that's saying a lot considering there wasn't much gore to go along with it. The special effects weren't too over the top and there were plenty of pretty realistic bits to everything. In comparison I would say these zombies are similar to ones in World War Z or 28 Weeks Later.
The difference between this movie and those other 2 is that this storyline is much better. There wasn't some special person on a special mission or anything extravagant. It was a normal dad and his daughter as well as other seemingly normal people going on a normal train ride that ends up being far from normal. Although no character was super special, it was still action packed and as realistic as you can get with zombie movies. To me that's what made it so amazing. Bonus points for actually killing off a main character since that usually never happens!
There is also something to be said about the little girl. She was phenomenal for being so young and added so much to the movie. I didn't expect a movie like this to be so emotional, but she sure made it that way with several scenes. More notably when her dad got bit. That was a tough scene to watch because her emotions felt so real.
All the other actors were great as well! I don't believe there was a single one that really sucked. Although there isn't much background with every secondary character, you still gather enough information about who they are as people as things progress. This helped with the very intense scenes where one would die off.
I don't watch many Korean movies, or many other foreign films for that matter, but this has me wanting to watch more. The only difficult part was having to read subtitles and possibly missed some stuff by doing so, but there was so much other good to this movie that I didn't care in the end. Even for it being a pretty lengthy movie, which is usually a huge turnoff for me. Surprisingly I kept up from start to finish!
An issue I noticed that was different than others was that there didn't seem to be a certain timeframe that one would turn rabid once they got bit. It seemed to vary depending on who got bit and where we were in the movie. It could be more intense that way considering you don't know when it will happen. Or it could be a bit of a plot whole. Just depends on how you look at it. There was also a little inconsistency with breaking glass being that sometimes they could break through and other times they couldn't although the glass is all the same.
Another weird/confusing bit was when they went through tunnels and the zombies all of a sudden couldn't see. When that happened the zombies literally went mute pretty much and stopped attacking. But they could hear things still. The only problem I had with that is they made a point to say that they got angry when they saw the characters still alive. So do they get angry off seeing them? Or is it the noises the people make?? It seemed to be a little weird to have that part in there and didn't make much sense to me watching it play out.
Besides those few negatives, this movie still had so much else to offer. I would still recommend to anyone that's into zombie-type moves. Really glad I stumbled upon it!
