Train to Busan (2016)

October Challenge Day 12

This film apparently broke the box office in Korea, and it didn't take long for it to crush it world-wide.

It's taken me a while to catch the Train to Busan, but it was oh so worth the wait.

Two words: FAST ZOMBIES

Damn, I hate love fast zombies. They give me palpitations. I have to sit now for these movies. 

This film has so many fast zombies I had to take breaks. I watched it over a period of many hours on my TV and then on my phone - ironically, at home and then while on public transit... oh man, that just became really funny right now as I was typing this...

This movie does not give breaks, however. It's a nonstop madness bloodbath adventure. 

Here we have a young girl who just wants to see her mother for her birthday. Her work-focused divorced father reluctantly takes her on the train as a last minute birthday gift. 

MANIACAL BLOOD BATH OF ABSOLUTE CHAOS QUICKLY ENSUES

Great zombies, great characters, great intensity, great effects, and great super sweet story line - folks, this is a win in the zombie film world. 

However, it runs the fine line between being too scary for those who *don't really like horror films* and those who LOVE horror films. That could be part of the allure - it's not clear who the audience is for - it is just a great film. 

Gross, engaging, and with jaw-dropping effects: you can't go wrong spending some time with this ride. 

Best watched on a busy day and with one or two people. Pairs with snacks you'd bring with you on a day trip. 

I watched this film on Shudder. Use the links on Horror Habit's side bar to locate where else you can find this real screamer.
