This "Train to Busan" is a movie that makes you scared when you are in a movie theater, but you will go out of the cinema to talk about it. Although I watched this movie in my laptop, I can imagine how scary it is when you are in the front of the big screen. Actually, I am a big fan of zombie movie and TV series. However, there are not a lot Asian zombie movie. This one is the first I have seen in the real sense of Asian zombie movies. Since I have traveled to Korea for many times, the familiar scenes in the movies and the Asian-face zombies make me feel more immersive than the Hollywood zombie films. Thus, it is more scar for me.

I don't know if you have noticed that the girl who brought the virus into the train was played by famous Korean actress Shim Eun-kyung. The director once said that the comic film "Seoul Station" he once filmed is a prequel to "Train to Busan", which tells the story of a father looking for a daughter in the case of a virus. The daughter's voice actress is Shim Eun-kyung. Moreover, the place where Shim Eun-kyung lost is the Seoul Station, which is the starting point of the train in this "Train to Busan" movie. In this way, the two films are perfectly connected, and the victims in the cartoons enter the real world and become the source of the bloody train.

This movie may not give you too many surprises to see too many zombies, but the zombies are no less professional than the Hollywood zombies. If the American zombies win in makeup, this movie’s zombies win in the action, expression and sound. Those who like zombie films should be surprised by the zombies in this movie, which is really scary! I will not mention the specifics, you must go and see for yourself.

This zombie movieis different from the other zombie piece. It is based on the train. The train serves as a confined space. It is more difficult to escape than the zombies in the outdoor, but the partition door and toilet room of each train compartment. It is also a temporary safe haven for survivors. Therefore, this film is not as chasing and evasive as the American zombie film, but has a defensive and offensive monster.

It's also worth mentioning, because the United States has guns, so in almost all zombie films, survivors can find all kinds of guns to fight. Thus, although the protagonist has been chased, audiences will not feel the protagonists very weak. However, "Train to Busan" is different. In Korea, where everyone pays attention to etiquette, everyone loves their jobs and respects the rules, and those who are attacked by zombies are all unarmed ordinary people. Their only weapon is the fist. The director wants to increase the survivors’ fighting power. A team of baseball are specially arranged baseball players in the train, so the survivors finally have a stick. But overall, Korean survivors are indeed much weaker than the muscle men and women who wear machine guns in the United States, so it seems to make you more nervous and fearful.
