We're leaving on that Zombie Train to Busan (leaving on the undead train).We are used to seeing Korean horror films about ghost, but Zombies!? This was refreshing. In this film, a neglectful dad tries to make amends with his daughter by riding with her on the train (which she wanted to go by herself) to take her back to his ex-wife. “Lucky” for both of them as a zombie outbreak happens while they are on the train. Now, their only hope for survival is to make it to the Busan stop.

You really can't go wrong with a Zombie movie. Train to Busan is definitely a good one too. It’s filled with interesting characters. Other than the father daughter team, the train is also occupied by a pregnant women and her macho and humorous husband, a school girl and her baseball player boyfriend and some homeless wonderer who saw the outbreak first hand, just to name a few.

The social commentary speaks on what you are made of as an individual and as a society with the best and the worst coming out of everyone during this crisis. In this film, it doesn't just offer plenty of nail-biting thrills and impressive special effects, it offers emotion and splendid characters whom you can properly invest in. It's a powerful film which wears its heart on its sleeve and contains more character development in two hours. Once the film was over I became overcome with emotion. I felt like I could just break down and cry at what I had just watched. This is so much more than a zombie flick, at its heart it's a devastating drama about family and the importance of human kindness. I loved it.

the new Korean film "Train to Busan" is earning a lot of positive words of mouth and box office success since its debut in the Midnight Screenings section of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
