Train to Busan (2016); Peninsula (2020)
There’s a reason people are still talking about Yeon Sang-ho’s suspenseful, poignant, gory, and darkly humorous zombie sensation Train to Busan, which follows a businessman and his young daughter (and their fellow passengers) whose train ride—meant to be a bonding experience—is interrupted by a sudden outbreak of the undead. There’s also a reason the director then made Peninsula, a follow-up set in the same universe that introduces us to some entertaining new characters with that same survival spirit. Those reasons? These movies are killer.
