What the hell can I say about Train To Busan that hasn’t already been said? Whether you love zombie movies or not, you must have heard about Train To Busan by now. If you haven’t, you must be living under a rock or you just don’t watch movies.
Train To Busan is fucking awesome. Train To Busan is fucking amazing. Train To Busan is the best zombie movie in the world.
I said this in a YouTube comment about how Train To Busan is the best zombie movie ever. Of course there are people who disagreed with me. That’s fine.
Train To Busan is not their cup of tea. But I’m not drinking their tea, I am drinking my own. And for me Train To Busan has no equal.
The sequel is absolutely trash if you compare it to its predecessor. It’s hard to believe that it was made by the same team of people.
On its own, Peninsula is an okay zombie movie. But in the Train To Busan universe, it just does not work. It only works as a standalone movie that has absolutely nothing to do with Train To Busan world. There is just no comparison between these two movies.
Getting back to this deliciously great zombie movie, I just can’t praise it enough.
For those among us who don’t know what Train To Busan is, let me give you a quick rundown.
Train To Busan is a 2016 South Korean action horror film directed by Yeon Sang-ho and starring the ever so fine and sexy Gong Yoo.
If you also don’t know who Gong Yoo is, then I highly recommend that you watch him in A Man A Woman. He takes it all off. As well he should. Wish he would get naked on camera again.
Train To Busan mostly takes place on a high-speed train from Seoul to Busan as a zombie apocalypse suddenly breaks out in the country and threatens the safety of the passengers.
Since there is not much I can add except to say one million times how fucking incredible Train To Busan is, I will tell you instead how I came to discover this zombie movie was in existence.
Now I am not new to Korean media. It is almost two decades since I’ve been watching Korean movies and dramas.
One night I was bored and wanted something new to watch. I made up my mind that I wanted to watch something with zombies in it. As one thought lead to another, it finally hit me that I had never seen a Korean movie or drama with zombies.
Therefore I went to good old Google to do some research. And there it was, Train To Busan had come out the previous month and almost slipped right under my radar. My intuition led me to the right place.
I watched the trailer and I was sold. The fact that I realized that Gong Yoo was also in it, was a sweet, added bonus for me. As expected, he acted his ass off.
This is what I wrote in my journal after watching Train To Busan.
13/10/2016 — I watched Train To Busan a few days ago. I have to say it is one of the best zombie movies that I have ever seen. It was emotionally moving. Korea did a great job on this movie. Hopefully there might be a part 2 next year.
All of you need to watch this damn movie, even if you don’t like zombie movies. Get a box of tissue ready, you will need it.
