Find out what happened before the events of Train to Busan.
Like many horror fans, I consider the South Korean zombie flick Train to Busan to be one of the best horror movies released last year. And I’ll go even one step further. Intense, terrifying and packed with emotional depth, it’s one of the best zombie movies of all time. Seriously.
Yeon Sang-ho follows up the film with this year’s Seoul Station (read our review) an animated prequel that FilmRise just announced they’ll be unleashing on iTunes here in the states on Tuesday, May 30th. Our own Luiz H.C. found it to be “thoroughly entertaining” and “a worthy companion” to the live action hit, so you’ll definitely want to check it out.
Find the trailer, poster and plot rundown below.
In the animated prequel…
As the sun sets around Seoul Station, an old man thought to have died sinks his teeth into the warm flesh of a homeless person. Soon, the streets are filled with vicious zombies desperate to feed.
Hae-sun, a runaway, witnesses the frightening sight while her father and boyfriend desperately search for her. As the attacked become the attackers, the government declares a lock out of the station, leaving the uninfected to struggle desperately against the dangerous undead. With zombie numbers exploding, people are forced to flee with no place to run to, not knowing if they will survive.
Ryu Seung-ryong, Shim Eun-kyung, and Lee Joon star.
