Train to Busan
Train to Busan is often regarded as one of the best zombie-horror movies, yet I can not share that opinion.
Starting off with the plot that is predictable and doesn't offer anything new that hasn't already be seen in other horror movies.
In addition, the characters just feel extremely cliché: There is the typical egoistic villian who gets other people against Seok-Woo, Sang-Hwa and more. Irs the typical black-and-white-thinking that there are villiand and heros seemingly. There is no real depth which makes it difficult to feel emotionally invested in their fate.
Moreover, the acting rather feels awkward at times: overly exaggerated and overly melodramatic.
The film's biggest strength to me is its setting. Trappibg the characters inside a train creates suspense as it is very cramped.
Missing for me was some kind of outbreak scenes. There is obly television that showcases the ongoings inside the town.
Overall the movie doesn't bring anything new to the genre. I just felt too disconnected and bored due to the dull characters.
