Synopsis

A group of terrified passengers fight their way through a countrywide viral outbreak, trapped on a suspicion-filled, blood-drenched bullet train ride to the Safe Zone, which may or may not still be there.

Our take

Who said Hollywood’s major studios are your best bet when it comes to producing action-horror movies? A top grossing hit when it was first released in 2016, Train to Busan is a fast-paced and tender ride-of-a-lifetime from the South Korean writer-director Yeon Sang-ho. Hop on board!
