Tremble is a horror podcast that cuts through hype to figure out what actually works, whether a movie is trying to scare you, make you laugh, or do both at once.
On this episode, the Tremble crew takes on Train to Busan, the 2016 South Korean zombie thriller directed by Yeon Sang ho. When a zombie outbreak erupts across South Korea, a group of passengers aboard a high speed train from Seoul to Busan must fight to survive as the infection rapidly spreads through the train. The crew discusses the film’s frantic action sequences, creative zombie movement, claustrophobic setting, and surprisingly emotional character work. They also examine the movie’s themes surrounding selfishness, sacrifice, class and human behaviour during a disaster, as well as the performances that help elevate Train to Busan beyond a conventional zombie thriller. The discussion looks at why the film became such an international success and why it remains one of the defining modern entries in the zombie genre.
