a review of 釜山行
I thought i didn’t need yet another zombie flick in my life and it turns out i was right. While Train To Busan didn’t feel like a waste of time to me, it certainly felt like a wasted opportunity. For all the praise it got, i thought this could have been the film to transcend the self-imposed restrictions of the genre. Instead it turned out to be just an unusually slick and well-made zombie movie. One of the best, for sure. In a genre so overdone by now, that’s not enough to warrant the accolades in my view. If you’re really into the genre, this is probably a must-watch. If you’re as tired of zombies as i am though, i suggest you watch the japanese indie hit One Cut Of The Dead instead, which is a truly fun and original take on the genre.
