South Korean zombie flick with the story taking place aboard the KTX train from Seoul to Busan. Unfortunately all the movies about zombies are very similar - people are turning into blood-thirsty creatures and keep spreading the problem, but in Train to Busan the creators managed to avoid some of the most obvious ideas and despite the whole film being rather shallow and uninventive it isn’t as bad as could be expected from zombie-themed production. Almost whole story take place aboard the train or train stations, so this could be one of the pros of this movie.
