Movie Review – Train to Busan (Netflix)
Movie Blurb:
While a zombie virus breaks out in South Korea, passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan.
My Review:
Characters
A great, varied, and believable cast, all with their own strengths and weaknesses. Every single one was interesting, and I enjoyed watching them all interact as they were thrust into this situation.
Plot
Loved it. Horror and action at its finest. Every stop of the way things got more and more chaotic, and I was living for it!
Flow
A great, seamless story with gradual progression of the characters. Can’t get any better than this!
Overall Impression
This foreign film was recommended to me by someone on WordPress, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have had the chance to watch this (Thanks Priscilla!).
Based on the blurb, you can tell what this movie is about, but it’s so much more than that. Every step of this dangerous journey was well thought out and executed perfectly. There’s an overwhelming sense of danger at every turn, and this ragtag bunch of individuals stuck on a train have to figure out how to survive together.
Each character was interesting, each plot twist was riveting. This movie had me on my toes the entire time, and I loved every minute of it.
I do disagree with a major development near the end, but with every other piece of this film being flawless, it really didn’t matter in the long run because I already adored this movie. Definitely watch this one, people!
Final Score
9.5/10

One of my favorite films of the last couple years, This is the only zombie movie that I have shed a tear at, and probably ever will be. Great review, I’m glad you liked it as much as I did.
Oh, me too! It was so well done. Why cant more movies be like this one?
Did you hear there doing a sequel, or about the same zombie apocalypse it comes out in 2021
No, I didn’t. That’s amazing, I can’t wait!
Yep, a great movie. Glad you liked it!
Totally, you’ve got great taste!
I’ve been recommended this one for a couple of years now and finally got to it at the end of the year. Definitely among my favorite zombie movies.
I totally agree. Definitely in my top five now. 🙂 I hear there may be a sequel. Let’s hope the powers that be don’t mess it up!
SUCH a great movie, right? Excited for #2…I think. Sequels are always a funny beast.
Oh yeah, this one was awesome. Way better than I could’ve ever expected.
Yeah, I did hear about that, and I’m totally down even if they screw it up.
Never saw it even I live in Busan for more than six months 🙂
It’s totally worth it, promise!
