Movie Review: Train To Busan

I recently watched the movie titled, “Train to Busan.” It is a roller-coaster ride of a zombie movie directed by Yeon Sang-ho, who was formerly an animated film director, and it is his first live-action feature. As typical in the genre, people turn into savage zombies who then attack and infect others, spreading the contamination. One of them boards the train going to the city of Busan, which is in the Southern part of Korea, and naturally, most of the drama occurs inside of the train’s cars or the surrounding train stations.

This is a rather suspenseful, highly entertaining, and well-made movie! I was literally on the edge of my seat while watching it. However, it is not a straight-forward and simple horror movie as the events and situations within its plot lines left me with many things to think about. For example, what would I do if I were in that train? Would I try to help or even sacrifice myself for others? Or would I be selfish and do absolutely anything to survive? For all of these reasons, I highly recommend that you watch it yourself if you have the chance.*

Hi Mira. Good job! Whatever changes that I made were merely done to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears. I hope that this helps you. J.

*Yes, I’ve seen this movie also and agree with your description--it hits you from so many angles. At the end, my popcorn was getting soggy from the little girl singing! (*_^) As to the writing, much like a movie, you need to have a proper “ending,” so I provided one for you. You wouldn’t have liked that movie to have ended like that, would you? I think that they have made or will make “Train to Busan 2” so I am looking forward to seeing it!
