TRAIN TO BUSAN PRESENTS: PENINSULA Trailer is INSANE

Train To Busan is hailed far and wide as one of the best zombie films created to date, and for good reason. While some horror fans moan they suffer from zombie fatigue, Busan showed that simply striving to make a great movie can catapult the genre out of any perceived doldrums. Excellent writing and character development bolstered by superb casting and actor charisma makes this title stand out. Die hard horror fans will be quick to point out the Asian style of body acting helps to make nearly every zombie unique and horrifying while the film makers spin witchcraft around the physics of mass body movement, ending the debate once and for all: FAST ZOMBIES ARE MONSTROUS!!

Now Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, a deeper dive into a world ravaged by the zombie plague.

"Seoul Station" Tears Into The Korean "Train To Busan" Zombie Mythology

Traditionally, an animated extension of movie mythology tends to come off like a cash grab. Some straight to video, seemingly rushed media meant to appease the fandom of a license and perhaps keep the love alive until the next "serious" project is completed. It's not been long since American audiences were treated to the Korean zombie epic "Train to Busan" (aka Znakes on a Train) and the overwhelmingly positive chatter had just been quieting when we heard an animated prequel was on the way. Of course, we instantly though "cash grab". We'd be wrong.

The "Train to Busan" animated prequel "Seoul Station" is an hour and a half of gut wrenching zombie survival with a completely unprepared populace being overrun by sprinting, enraged, extra bitey zombies who appear to stop at nothing to sink their teeth into living flesh. In "Seoul Station" we are taken very close to the beginning of the zombie outbreak as the homeless are the first to be fed upon, a message not lost on a world audience in these troubling times. Since we've trained ourselves to ignore the homeless, the (zombie) problem is allowed to escalate at an alarming rate until it very literally comes back to bite a large section of the city in the ass.
