creatively mind-blowing

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2019)

Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, Train to Busan immediately earns a place in the canon of great zombie cinema. Layered, emotional, and riveting, the South Korean product blends human drama, thematic depth, and jolting horror in its tale of commuters trapped within a train while an epidemic rages without. The production is sleek, the violence is biting, and the characters are worth investment. It is the rare horror film whose spirit and energy engender the desire to watch the work again immediately after the credits roll.
