Train to Busan" is a highly acclaimed South Korean zombie thriller film directed by Yeon Sang-ho and released in 2016.This movie is based on the Zombie apocalypse but it is not the regular Zombie flick which is framed around gore horrific scenes with excessive VFX of bloodshed and screams but this movie was built upon a train journey from Seoul to Busan and people are trapped inside the train by Zombies attack. Surprisingly, director adoptedthe emotional touch in the screenplay to connect with the audience.This South Korean zombie film takes the genre to new heights with its intense thrills and emotional depth. "Train to Busan" not only delivers on the zombie front but also explores human nature and societal issues.
The train carries thousands of people but the story focus on few people namely- a separated Father and Daughter, a new born expecting Couple, Basketball team, old age sisters, homeless guy and a high profile businessman. The set up for the movie is on a regular note as the Protagonist Seok Woo trying to connect with his daughter and he promised to take her to Busan in train to meet her Mom. As they get into the bullet train from Seoul they are brutally attacked by zombies.

The film was grinding in slow phased mode for few mins in the beginning but once the train journey begins, it was a complete roller-coaster ride experience for the audience. The action sequence in the film was designed in such a way that it was intense till the endto keep it gripping and engaging for the audience.Director used the train claustrophobic atmosphere very welland placed the escape points at the right moment to experience a seat edge thriller. The characterisation is perfect in this film. Each character was well connected to each other in the plot. There is a moral story coined within the screenplay which was subtly outplayed duringthe crucial moments of the film. The basic humanity and being kind was the core theme and it was well established throughout the film.
The visual effects and cinematography go hand in hand to maintain the tension till the end. There are many close up shots of the main characters to bring out the emotional feelings for the intense scenes and it really come out well with good background scores. Though there are few violent jump scares and gore visuals in the film, it does not look overdose as there are equal amount of emotional and action sequences are coined in the screenplay.
