    I remember my dad and I randomly watched this film thinking it was just another zombie movie. We had gotten home from a bar and were a bit tipsy so we wanted to watch something neither of us had seen. It ended up being probably one of the best zombie film I’ve ever watched, and we were both unexpectedly bawling at the end. Genuinely shocked both of us how good this movie was. Hidden gem for sure.

    • @Helldog6

      Same. As someone who considers himself a "zombie connoisseur" and love watching even the worst Zombie films - I had very low expectations with this movie. Outside of the top 5, most Zombie movies are just shlock or over the top. This was way before the Korean boom in streaming happened and the only Korean movie I had seen at the time was Old Boy.
      I just remember waiting for it to get dark, grabbing a bag of chips and turning it on and being blown the fuck away. Going into it expecting a D-grade Korean zombie flick and getting arguably the best zombie movie of all time is something I wish I could relive again.
      It's a shame the sequel was so bad.

      I wouldnt call it a hidden gem I would call it you probably dont watch a lot of asian film or zombie movies. I saw this right when i came out it did big in korea and asia. And is universally considered one of the greater zombie movies ever. Definitely look into more korean films theyre actually really good. If you start with sokething like parasite or even this movie and look at the director/writer/actors and follow their movies you'll end up in a rabbit hole of amazing korean and asian films. 'The theives' and 'secretely greatly' and 'the battleship island' and 'night of the undead' are all worth a watch. the young daughter whos in this movie is also in battleship and some other good ones.
      Theres also a second train to busan but its a bit different and also theyre also making a 3rd one. Theyre not sequels just different zombie movies. Also theyre remaking the original which was suppose to be out this year but was pushed back thats titled, the last train tk new york. 🙃👌

    I can't do horror or blood usually but this is one movie I'm glad I watched. One cultural/historical thing that may be lost on non-Koreans: during the Korean War, the South was pushed back to the very tip of the peninsula at Busan. It was from here that the UN and South Koreans turned the tide and recovered. I think that probably has some significance, the city itself was home to hundreds of thousands of refugees and represents hope and resilience.

      There's a good reason why they got pushed back to the tip of the peninsula. China warned MacArthur to keep the fighting outside of china's borders. What did he do? Pushed across and into China. China sent their troops and pushed them all the way down in a matter of days.

    Ma Dong-seok is the mvp of the movie, just a wonderful character and performed wonderfully.
    The MC sold off the funs for the bioplant as part of his big plan to make money, this meant they couldn't maintain and repair stuff which caused the leak and eventual outbreak, essentially making the Main guy the entire reason for the movie via his general assholeness. Makes his redemption that much more important but also more meaningless, sure he finally became a good person but the damage was already done and so much worse than anything he could do to redeem.

    Every single thing about this film absolutely and completely knocked it out of the ballpark. Phenomenal movie.
    Side note/recommendations: There are three Korean television shows on Netflix that fall into the horror genre and are excellent: 1. Kingdom, 2. All of Us are Dead, and 3. Sweet Home. The first two are actually both of the zombie genre, and you’d think that kind of premise would be old by now-not with these shows. “Kingdom” takes place during the 1500’s and also includes this power struggle for the throne-that plus the outbreak that takes place in that time period without modern technology or weapons is amazing to see, especially with the way Korean cinema has that ability to do drama. “All of Us are Dead” takes place during current times, largely takes place in a high school, and is very well done. “Sweet Home” does not involve zombies, and I personally believe it’s best to go into this show knowing as little about it as possible. It’s truly amazing, has extremely compelling characters, and also has been approved for two more seasons, which originally were delayed by the shutdown in 2020.

    I love this film...one of the best from the last 20 years. Most people don't seem to realize that it's not a horror film but a 70's-style disaster movie with zombies in it. It especially resembles 1972's Poseidon Adventure...which it would be great to see Natalie react to someday!
    One of the most interesting aspects of the film is the way people who have been bitten on an extremity turn. The longer it takes you to turn, the more repressed aspects of your personality come to the surface. Su-An's grandmother with her hatred of the mother, the businessman reverting to a scared little boy, and Seok-Woo's love for Su-An all come to the surface as they turn. It's a nice character element that they didn't have to include, but did!

I'd love to see Nat react to either of them, the one I saw had great suspense and action and a unique setting plus stylistic camera work. I should probably watch the original. I just looked it up and there are three of them. Good stories always get retold.

      @@jlp11889 each of the versions have different characters...Poseidon especially changed up the entire cast of characters. Having seen all 3, the first one from 1972 is by far my favorite, as it has more of a subtext and an overarching theme to it. It should also be mentioned that all three are *very* different from the original Paul Gallico novel, which can be a very bleak read...

    I could literally write a whole essay on why I love it 😅
    I just love good storytelling, and can really appreciate good acting.
    And for some reason I enjoy movies, series or games that make me feel depressed so this one fits right in because in the end I’m literally always crying my eyes out 🥺

    What I think makes this movie great is how it showcases that one of the best uses for these sorts of existential threats (aliens, robots, outbreaks, zombies...whatever else you can name) is to tell very human stories. I'm pretty done with zombies, just bored of them, have been for years, but "Train to Busan" is one of the rare exceptions. It's so damn good.

    Just when you thought the zombie genre had gotten stale, along came Train to Busan. The writing on this film is remarkable; so many films can go an entire runtime and you not care about anybody and yet this movie has several characters you care about that is established with an economy of characterization -- even the subtle callback to the ending of the original Night of the Living Dead. And the little girl was AMAZING, she sold it in every scene.
    Rewatching all these films with Nat really has been a joy. She is the friend we all wish we had to go to the movies with.

  • @jasminericee

    What's so fascinating to me about this movie is that it's like a zombie retelling of the Korean War. During the war, the North was able to invade most of the South EXCEPT for Busan. South Koreans were able to defend Busan (Busan being the southernmost province in South Korea). In a way, the zombies in the movie symbolize North Koreans while the characters of the film symbolize South Koreans. In the movie, all provinces they passed through were infected EXCEPT for Busan. Much like what happened during the Korean War.
    When I first watched this movie, I didn't know about this metaphor. I only found out about it when we discussed this film in History class. It made rewatching the movie so much more interesting

Commentary on class division (the homeless guy was the "odd one" while the bitten girl was ignored) is great, especially when its the homeless guy who everyone judged who is so selfless. And South Korea absolutely idolizes fatherhood, celebrating the role they play and sacrifices they make for their families, while still providing positive examples of masculinity. Tears every time I watch this film.

    keep in mind during the scene that "granny" gave up and went down, it was only partially giving up. Imagine being an old woman during all this. I'm sure she knew she wouldn't last long. But that scene was also in slow motion. What seemed to take more than enough time for her to get in to us was only a second or two to them. she stopped there to sacrifice herself so that they would have time to shut the doors. Given how fast the zombies are, they probably wouldn't have been able to shut the door before they got there if it hadn't been for her 🙂

    When "Parasite" was in theaters, UA-cam recommended "Train To Busan." I had seen South Korean movies, so I thought I was ready. The roller coaster ride through Fear, Dread, Anger and Sorrow left me emotionally drained. Kudos to the writer(s), directors(s), actors, and especially, the stunt performers for creating a Modern Classic. The characters are so "fleshed out" that when bad things happen, we feel for them. I saw this movie before certain actors became famous in "Squid Game," which isn't my cup of Green tea.;) I'll bet you won't hear "Aloha 'Oe" in the same way again.
