**Horror express.** A week ago I saw a zombie film from Japan called 'I Am a Hero' and now this Korean. I have not seen a quality zombie film at the recent time. The second tier films like 'Cooties', 'Freaks of Nature', 'Scouts Guide...', all these were comedies. Probably 'World War Z' was the last decent zombie film I have seen and after that this is the one. So the timing of the film was another advantage. Since…

With a couple of the zombie movies I've watched recently, I've found myself able to go so far in my reviews as to credit the films for some modicum of surprise originality, alongside a rating of four of five out of ten.

However, all of these works fail to reach the always hig…

**Well worth your time at leasst once.** Train to Busan is an excellent zombie horror film on a train!\ \ It had great development, with character build to invest you in their survival on a zombie infested train. The pacing starts slow but by the time it hits full throttle you won't catch your breath, and you'll be on the edge of their seat.\ \ It's not the greatest zombie film of all time, but it stands on it…
