Zombies on a train

Rating: 7/10 (31 August 2018)

First we had snakes on a plane, now Korean zombies on a train. Awesome.
Korean cinema is a curious beast; I love the films of Park Chan-Wook, but other contributors have a tendency to get a bit mawkish and oversentimental as the drama unfolds, and I'm afraid that what was otherwise a beautifully paced and entertaining ZOMBIE film ended up this way. I'm all for character development, and being made to care a bit who lives and who dies, but....IT'S A ZOMBIE FILM! It starts out tongue-in-cheek, with some genuinely squirmy horror vibes, and I think it would've been best if it managed that balance throughout, but it lost its way tonally a bit in the last 20 minutes.
Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of it, and it will linger in my memory of top zombie films.
