I admit, I suffer zombie fatigue. This taints my opinion of an otherwise exceptionally well done Korean film. Its got great characters. Great arcs. Good writing. The movie has interesting commentary on parenthood, career ambition, government propaganda and control, life priorities. And zombies.
Lots of zombies. On a train! These are of the swarming rage-fueled hyper-rabid undead humanoid variety. Incubation time: minutes, transformation immediate upon death.
To be fair, the train setting works for this film, creating a uniquely claustrophobic and intense atmosphere. Interestesting in the horde of zombie films: no one has guns. At best you get a club. So the characters have to think carefully about how to handle the situation. Again, I think this is a very well done movie on every front, and the actors truly sell their plight. The movie does a fantastic job of getting you to care about the victims before they become eventual infected zombie fodder. If you're not burnt out on zombies and do not mind subtitles, I would very much recommend.
