![]() ![]() Train to Busan brings absolutely nothing new to the zombie genre, but it shows that lack of novelty needn’t be a handicap at all. This is how I remember some of them: gusty, funny guy with pregnant wife (Ma Dong-seok), selfish father (Gong Yoo), little girl with parental issues (Kim Su-an), homeless man (Choi Gwi-hwa), flirtatious students (Choi Woo-shik and Ahn So-hee)… But these general labels are what we’d have likely slapped on them if we’d travelled along in that cursed train to Busan even as South Korea slowly turns into zombieland for no apparent reason. They are all archetypes, and none of their names register. It is incredible how quickly Train to Busan gets you to care about its characters.
