This is a clever zombie movie set in Korea. Various parties board a train and one of them has been bitten. She dies and immediately re-animates. Now, being an old D&D guy I don't treat this kind of zombie as actually a zombie, what they're depicting here is a ghoul. But having a zombie situation on a train is interesting because it depicts a captive situation. At the same time the entire country is being overrun at an insane speed, and when they try to stop at a supposedly safe station .. whoo boy.
Recommended. For the insane speed, the hopeless grind, the screaming, and the short run length. It's shorter than my one-way commute. It's like a Motörhead song became a zombie movie. Hmm; maybe Overkill.
