I remember my dad and I randomly watched this film thinking it was just another zombie movie. We had gotten home from a bar and were a bit tipsy so we wanted to watch something neither of us had seen. It ended up being probably one of the best zombie film I’ve ever watched, and we were both unexpectedly bawling at the end. Genuinely shocked both of us how good this movie was. Hidden gem for sure.

[@Helldog6]

Same. As someone who considers himself a "zombie connoisseur" and love watching even the worst Zombie films - I had very low expectations with this movie. Outside of the top 5, most Zombie movies are just shlock or over the top. This was way before the Korean boom in streaming happened and the only Korean movie I had seen at the time was Old Boy. I just remember waiting for it to get dark, grabbing a bag of chips and turning it on and being blown the fuck away. Going into it expecting a D-grade Korean zombie flick and getting arguably the best zombie movie of all time is something I wish I could relive again. It's a shame the sequel was so bad.

[@markphillips7538]

Yeah the sequel felt like an American movie exec had something to do with it. Not saying that happened, but it had more of a Hollywood feel and fell into typical western Zombie tropes more than TTB. @@Helldog6

[@markphillips7538]

Korean movies can really surprise you with the way they rip your heart out and have you bawling at the end. It's one of the reasons they fascinate me so much. Never thought a Zombie movie would have me in such a state.

[@UsaRubber]

I wouldnt call it a hidden gem I would call it you probably dont watch a lot of asian film or zombie movies. I saw this right when i came out it did big in korea and asia. And is universally considered one of the greater zombie movies ever. Definitely look into more korean films theyre actually really good. If you start with sokething like parasite or even this movie and look at the director/writer/actors and follow their movies you'll end up in a rabbit hole of amazing korean and asian films. 'The theives' and 'secretely greatly' and 'the battleship island' and 'night of the undead' are all worth a watch. the young daughter whos in this movie is also in battleship and some other good ones. Theres also a second train to busan but its a bit different and also theyre also making a 3rd one. Theyre not sequels just different zombie movies. Also theyre remaking the original which was suppose to be out this year but was pushed back thats titled, the last train tk new york. 🙃👌

so much tragedy packed into one film, zombies weren’t even the scariest part. the cast did such an incredible job at selling their roles, the emotional ROLLERCOASTER the viewers go through watching this film. fun fact: ma dong-seok (daddy) plays gilgamesh in the mcu movie ‘eternals’, who ALSO sacrificed himself for his soulmate 🫠 this man cannot catch a break

Yeah Sean Bean cannot catch a break in roles either. It is super common for his characters to die.

[@sebastianjoseph2828]

I can't do horror or blood usually but this is one movie I'm glad I watched. One cultural/historical thing that may be lost on non-Koreans: during the Korean War, the South was pushed back to the very tip of the peninsula at Busan. It was from here that the UN and South Koreans turned the tide and recovered. I think that probably has some significance, the city itself was home to hundreds of thousands of refugees and represents hope and resilience.

[@SkwithOv]

i didn;t realize that! that sounds really significant to me personally for this movie! it was definitely an intentional choice

[@GerardRaymondPanado-ig2up]

And there's a great story behind that too involving 1000 filipinos (part of the UN) vs 40,000 chinese and north korean soldiers where the filipinos managed to secure their line amidst the massive army.

[@Kiss_My_Aspergers]

Woah, neat! Thanks for the history lesson! I always appreciate more context.

[@3ddd2294]

😍

[@pbc_03]

There's a good reason why they got pushed back to the tip of the peninsula. China warned MacArthur to keep the fighting outside of china's borders. What did he do? Pushed across and into China. China sent their troops and pushed them all the way down in a matter of days.

[@MagsonDare]

I've seen articles that say that the she and the actor playing her dad developed a very good relationship on set, and they didn't tell her that his character was going to die until just before filming those scenes, so some of it very well may have been her personally being sad that Gong Yoo didn't get to be a triumphant hero with her at the end.

Ma Dong-seok is the mvp of the movie, just a wonderful character and performed wonderfully. The MC sold off the funs for the bioplant as part of his big plan to make money, this meant they couldn't maintain and repair stuff which caused the leak and eventual outbreak, essentially making the Main guy the entire reason for the movie via his general assholeness. Makes his redemption that much more important but also more meaningless, sure he finally became a good person but the damage was already done and so much worse than anything he could do to redeem. Everyone that did something good died, but they died saving people. Everyone that did something bad died with nothing saved.

He didn't sell off the funds, he simply sold his stock. . It's not in any way the MC fault what happened. If he has any blame its indirectly. The plant having inadequate safety measures caused the outbreak. Soek Woo simply invested in the company, which could have been going bankrupt when he did.

[@SquishyFletcher]

This is a watershed movie for Korea's international cinema presence. I was so glad I watched it not long after it came out, because it has opened up a brilliant range of viewing for me. If you're after other Korean zombie movies/shows, I *HAVE* to recommend "#alive" (movie), "Kingdom" (period series), and "All of us are Dead" (modern series). Korean cinema and television is absolutely mind-blowing when it comes to the zombie genre.

[@DanielS2001]

It's best to call 28 Days Later what it really is: An infection movie. It's not a zombie movie, never was. It's an infection movie in the same regard as The Omega Man or George A. Romero's The Crazies. The irony is that zombie movies started patterning their zombies after the Infected in the film, though.

While "Shaun of the Dead" will always be my favorite zombie film, "Train to Busan" is the one I consider the best to date, with "Dawn of the Dead" a close second. Young Su-An should have gotten an Oscar for that performance. I cry every time I watch the film or watch reacters watch it.

Welcome to the shared trauma that is Train to Busan, the best zombie movie ever. Like in the Last of Us (although faster all around), the speed of infection is based on the location of the bite. Head/neck instant, extremities a couple minutes tops.

[@justinplayfair4638]

I love this film...one of the best from the last 20 years. Most people don't seem to realize that it's not a horror film but a 70's-style disaster movie with zombies in it. It especially resembles 1972's Poseidon Adventure...which it would be great to see Natalie react to someday! One of the most interesting aspects of the film is the way people who have been bitten on an extremity turn. The longer it takes you to turn, the more repressed aspects of your personality come to the surface. Su-An's grandmother with her hatred of the mother, the businessman reverting to a scared little boy, and Seok-Woo's love for Su-An all come to the surface as they turn. It's a nice character element that they didn't have to include, but did!

[@jlp11889]

I love the remake "Poseidon" (2006), never seen the original. I'd love to see Nat react to either of them, the one I saw had great suspense and action and a unique setting plus stylistic camera work. I should probably watch the original. I just looked it up and there are three of them. Good stories always get retold.

[@justinplayfair4638]

@@jlp11889 each of the versions have different characters...Poseidon especially changed up the entire cast of characters. Having seen all 3, the first one from 1972 is by far my favorite, as it has more of a subtext and an overarching theme to it. It should also be mentioned that all three are *very* different from the original Paul Gallico novel, which can be a very bleak read...

So thank you for braving the waters even though you had no idea this was a zombie movie before you looked it up. It got me to finally watch too - and I enjoyed it immensely (though I also wept.. so much). Korean cinema really is something else.

[@r4umediaentertainment831]

Every single thing about this film absolutely and completely knocked it out of the ballpark. Phenomenal movie. Side note/recommendations: There are three Korean television shows on Netflix that fall into the horror genre and are excellent: 1. Kingdom, 2. All of Us are Dead, and 3. Sweet Home. The first two are actually both of the zombie genre, and you’d think that kind of premise would be old by now-not with these shows. “Kingdom” takes place during the 1500’s and also includes this power struggle for the throne-that plus the outbreak that takes place in that time period without modern technology or weapons is amazing to see, especially with the way Korean cinema has that ability to do drama. “All of Us are Dead” takes place during current times, largely takes place in a high school, and is very well done. “Sweet Home” does not involve zombies, and I personally believe it’s best to go into this show knowing as little about it as possible. It’s truly amazing, has extremely compelling characters, and also has been approved for two more seasons, which originally were delayed by the shutdown in 2020.

What I think makes this movie great is how it showcases that one of the best uses for these sorts of existential threats (aliens, robots, outbreaks, zombies...whatever else you can name) is to tell very human stories. I'm pretty done with zombies, just bored of them, have been for years, but "Train to Busan" is one of the rare exceptions. It's so damn good.

[@jasminericee]

What's so fascinating to me about this movie is that it's like a zombie retelling of the Korean War. During the war, the North was able to invade most of the South EXCEPT for Busan. South Koreans were able to defend Busan (Busan being the southernmost province in South Korea). In a way, the zombies in the movie symbolize North Koreans while the characters of the film symbolize South Koreans. In the movie, all provinces they passed through were infected EXCEPT for Busan. Much like what happened during the Korean War. When I first watched this movie, I didn't know about this metaphor. I only found out about it when we discussed this film in History class. It made rewatching the movie so much more interesting

Just when you thought the zombie genre had gotten stale, along came Train to Busan. The writing on this film is remarkable; so many films can go an entire runtime and you not care about anybody and yet this movie has several characters you care about that is established with an economy of characterization -- even the subtle callback to the ending of the original Night of the Living Dead.

Commentary on class division (the homeless guy was the "odd one" while the bitten girl was ignored) is great, especially when its the homeless guy who everyone judged who is so selfless. And South Korea absolutely idolizes fatherhood, celebrating the role they play and sacrifices they make for their families, while still providing positive examples of masculinity. Tears every time I watch this film.

Bet you never thought you would like a zombie movie. Its a great one, heart-wrenching for sure. Thanks for this.

[@adiarainfoster]

keep in mind during the scene that "granny" gave up and went down, it was only partially giving up. Imagine being an old woman during all this. I'm sure she knew she wouldn't last long. But that scene was also in slow motion. What seemed to take more than enough time for her to get in to us was only a second or two to them. she stopped there to sacrifice herself so that they would have time to shut the doors. Given how fast the zombies are, they probably wouldn't have been able to shut the door before they got there if it hadn't been for her 🙂 Edit: the whole "cut his arm off" thing always cracks me up when I watch reactions to this movie. What's he going to use to cut it off with, the machete he keeps up his butt? 🤣

[@kingscorpion7346]

the little girl playing Su-An, so adorable! and at the end you just want to give her such a big hug to comfort her! I never cried so much at the end of any movie until this one... and then I watched Pay It Forward, and made me UGLY cry even worse. watch that one, please!

[@Silentstorm231]

So this was my introduction to Korean/foreign media and quite frankly it left me like you utterly devastated. When I tell people what the best zombie movie exists out there I tell them this one. Never before have I felt all the emotions possible to characters for 2 hours and up until "the Last of Us" (the tv show) and "Kingdom" (also a Korean zombie series) I didn't think it was possible to make zombie movies/series like this ever again. Love the reaction as always can't wait for the next one! Don't worry lots of people ended up calling Sang hwa's character "daddy" XD

[@delfinamosto4632]

God DAMN IT! Every time, I can´t but sob with this movie, even while seeing just a reaction. This is my favorite zombie movie ever. They did very well portraying the nature of humans as individuals and just like you said, there were so many good people helping out others and just 1 mothersucker who makes you think how awful and selfish we are when it comes to our own shit. The kid, OH MY, she made my guts hurt. I cant imagine how the actress who plays the pregnant lady felt when holding her while she was crying her heart out!. It´s impossible not to fell that. They way her dad goes is just so emotional, the music and his last memories, seeing the shadow. So poetic. I think its fair to say Koreans know how to write and act poetry.

[@kopaszh_pkoaszh_9527]

I think the main character gets a lot of unnecessary flack in the beginning of the movie for being a bad person/dad and it might due to the translation where we don’t quite get the nuance of his exact words. Or idk I just really like how the movie is realistic in portraying people and their struggles of helping others vs self preservation. He can’t be as present with his daughter but we see that he cares when he’s truly disappointed he didn’t get to go to her recital and when he took the time to bring her to busan in the first place cause she wanted to visit her mom for her birthday. It’s really bare minimum but since he got divorced he must now ensure the future of his daughter by working hard and so many parents sacrifice their time to work hard at making money not because they’re inherently selfish or greedy but because they do it for their children. Even as he’s telling his daughter to take care of only herself and it’s okay to be selfish, it’s his way of ensuring her safety because there are times where one needs to know how to be selfish especially when being generous might come at a great detriment to your own safety/health. This includes his own selfishness because he must do what he needs to do in order to stay alive; in order for his daughter to have a higher chance of survival, he needs to be there with her because people are not as inclined to altruism as we hope to be. I love this movie because it captures people’s potential for good and bad and the spectrum in between brought out by a state of catastrophe.

[@allelujah1210]

Exactly, I hate how people see him as a bad father when she is his number 1 priority, as if missing recitals makes you a bad father even though they are working tgeir asses off. In this situation people act as if they would be "good people" and not be selfish to make sure their loved ones are safe

[@kopaszh_pkoaszh_9527]

@@mate357 You’re absolutely right this movie is actually one of the better translated Korean works I’ve seen but there are some meanings lost to those who don’t know Korean. I’m not saying he isn’t flawed, that’s what I love about this movie: how realistically flawed this main character is. I just mean to say that his redemption arc isn’t as far fetched as some say because his motives have always been his daughter.

[@clover2739]

Exactly, I think it’s why it’s important that the ‘real dad’ as people call the pregnant woman’s husband even says that dads like him get a lot of hate because they don’t understand at the time how hard they need to work and don’t see the sacrifices that is made. I feel like people make out like he’s way worse than he is, he does have development but he’s not this horrible person. He’s seen as selfish, and his actions earlier on are but it’s not for him it’s for his daughter, he’s the only one there for a small child so she’s his priority. It’s not that he has a complete sudden development, because he’s not an awful person or deserves to die in any way like people say at the beginning. It’s like the pregnant wife said, he’s scared and it’s understandable, it’s also understandable ti be mad since his wife is pregnant and he’s also about to have a child

[@ALIENjoy]

I watched this on Netflix in survival mode a week after my daughter was born. That was the first time I really felt like a parent, me weeping in the dark with my little tiny goofball in my arms, half asleep, hiccuping and sipping on her milk.

[@GippyHappy]

Scarf Daddy is the true protagonist of this movie.

[@Liesmith424]

That child actress is just insanely talented; every time I see a reaction to this movie, her last few scenes hit me just as hard as the first time.

[@HunterTuruk]

At this point I just feel bad for Nat.. But tis the season 🎃 🦇

[@frogeatssnake6811]

it's absolutely a masterpiece. MUST watch!!!

[@katiemayo1518]

I'm not into zombies either but this is just a good movie. Ma Dong Seok (scarf Daddy) is one of my favorite actors. Men of Plastic is a great comedy that he stars in. Also I'd love it if you reacted to K Dramas! If you're looking for drama/suspense- Flower of Evil is fantastic. Something more fun/romantic but still with the drama- Crash Landing On You. Heartwarming/thought provoking- Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

[@tannerwilliams4500]

That little girl never fails to fuck me up. What a performance for the entire movie, but especially in that last 20

[@Seraphis1911]

LOL, if you've ever wanted to be scared, have your heart broken, and everything in between, this movie will do it.

[@I_Drank_WHAT_TTV]

This movie was INSANELY good. I had heard a lot of good things about it and finally watched it. The end, had me IN. TEARS. mostly because of his daughter singing her little heart out. I watched it with my exwife and was like 'I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!' It's still one of my favorite zombie movies ever.

[@MrDimox]

Every day, millions of people are helping THAT GUY get on the train.

[@Ymartinez00]

14:50 every reaction I’ve seen of this man is always daddy! Even if you don’t got daddy issues, this man is still daddy ❤ I fucking loved him

[@aj897]

“NOOO, DADDY!!!” 😂😂

[@RyloQy]

Everytime I watch this movie I have tears pouring from my eyes before I can doing anything to stop it. It is really the most emotionally moving piece of cinema I have ever seen and the performances of the Dad and Daughter are just top tier.

[@MrJjrob97]

THIS IS A CLASSIC. the sequel not so much

[@user-dz6fy6qv2l]

I couldn't even finish the sequel. It had nothing of value.

[@BigFatSammich]

yeah the sequel sucks. It’s fun if you turn your brain off though. Especially the car scenes. So stupid but mildly entertaining 😅 Also the animated prequel movie “Seoul Station” is pretty good too

[@erianle123547]

Korean movies/television shows are some of the best I've seen. Literally, pick whatever genre you prefer and just look up Korean movies/shows, can't go wrong. Korean zombie movies/shows are also some of the best of the zombie genre too. Kim Hye-soo is by far my favorite Korean actress, I'll watch anything she's in, highly recommend her work. Under the Queen's Umbrella is an amazing time piece, especially if you like drama with some more comedic elements thrown in.

[@degotas]

28 days later isn't technically a zombie movie. It's a mindless rage movie. They still live.

[@andrewgrant6516]

Every time I see how nice and clean the trains are, full of friendly staff who are pleased to help you, I think even with a 50/50 chance of being eaten by zombies, it's still a vast improvement over Southern Rail.

[@Saphthings]

The best character in the movie is the evil CEO dude who keeps killing everyone and betraying everyone. Without him the movie would lose several stars, because he gave the story a focus and who to hate. But the best actor is the little girl, holy crap can she act! The movie wasn't scary, per se, but it was memorable as such a unique experience that only K-Dramas can do, where you're crying going, "omg there's no way this could get sadder!!" and then they prove you wrong.

[@Saphthings]

Wow I made this comment before watching and then she said the same thing at the end about the K-Drama thing lol

[@meghanworkman6449]

The little girl's performance at the end absolutely WRECKS me every time I see this movie. She is phenomenal. The whole movie is fantastic, honestly.
