Movie Saw Train to Busan for the first time (1 Viewer)

It's on Netflix, so I put it on in the background today and found it entertaining enough to watch for reals. It made me wonder what it would be like to have a zombie apocalypse breakout in a world that has no concept of zombies.

As an aside, Gong Yoo is perpetually dreamy. I await his return to Squid Game season 2.

Train to Busan is grade A zombie genre! Train to Busan 2 was mediocre.

Yeah, I definitely didn't get the vibe that this needed a sequel. Did it have a reason to exist or was it just "the first one was successful, let's make another one!"

I heard there was supposed to be an American remake, which seems a bit odd considering riding trains isn't really a thing for much of the US.

Exactly this, the first did well so they threw another together.

Well then I won't bother checking it out! Thank you for suffering through it for me.

I feel like the plot can be summed up in one word: zombies
I found it decent though. It was fun.

Don’t think I’ll survive a zombie apocalypse, but to the survivors it should only last for two weeks or so? Decomposing will be a zombies worst enemy, a human body can become bone within 10 days of death.

It understood the assignment! I appreciate how quickly it got to the zombie part of the story and how scary they made the zombies. The speed with which they did everything!

I bet the world would be very stinky for those two weeks of decomposition!

That's an interesting fact though! Definitely makes the zombie films that come across long dead, but basically intake, bodies seem a bit less realistic. You know, as realistic as a zombie apocalypse film can be.

I didn't like Train to Busan but I did like Seoul Station.

Very reasonable response.
