Train to Busan (Foreign Horror Film - South Korean)

Train to Busan (Foreign Horror Film - South Korean)

A little girl who lives with her father wants to visit her mother for her birthday. He reluctantly takes off work to take her on the train ride to Busan to visit with his ex-wife.  Too bad today was the day of the outbreak and the infected are becoming zombies.  Even worse, the infected got on the train. Worst. Birthday. Ever.

Typically I like my zombie movies with a lot of dark humor (think: Shaun of the Dead, Fido, etc.) but this one was truly scary, with just the right touch of humor at times and dig your nails into your kneecaps at others. These zombies were quick, think World War Z not Night of the Living Dead, and being stuck on a train with the infected, riding through cities of infected, wow. Just wow.
