    What do I do if I love trains but hate zombies?

    I am rather partial to Busan however.

    If you love trains and zombies, Horror Express with Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas is hard to beat too!

    I thought you were talking about 1974's "Murder on the Orient Express." Well, Albert Finney was good.

    I just watched the trailer on youtube, looks intense and great, thanks for the recommendation.

    But that must be wussy South Korea. Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un would have used his mighty heal of justice to stamp that crap out in the North.

    True party member do not become zombies, it deviates from the glorious plan.

  9. Snow piercer was Brazil on a train in terms of the approach.

    I'd think they'd just die of starvation like everyone else.

    I liked this movie. In fact, it's not about zombies and trains.

    You have to get out and walk. The zombies will get you. You won't love them any more, but they will love you all up.:p

    I had actually come across this movie prior to this thread, and definitely plan to check it out when it is shown in the U.S. On Rottentomatoes, it is currently garnering 95%: with over 60 positives and 3 negatives: Train to Busan (Bu-san-haeng) »

    Yes, I know RT recommendations must sometimes be taken with "barrels of salt". I did really enjoy Snowpiercer, which also scored well on RT, despite the reservations of many sci-fi movie goers. I think the concepts of zombies on a train is an interesting premise upon which to build a plot -- one train car at a time.

    I'm a train lover, signal collector, and historian, but this here almost turned me off when I was a kid....It may be even worse than zombies:

    La Horde ( The Horde)2009.
    Gangsters/Cops vs Zombies.
    Fast zombie flick I may add,
    quiet brutal.
    As usual with French movies the subtitles are a hoot.

    Watched this last night.... thought it was a pretty decent and enjoyable flick, although my one main criticism would be that it could've been a little more gory and/or "edgy".... I'm not sure what its actual rating is, but it couldn't be much more than a PG-13 at most.

    If you are into zombie movies, I suggest you see The Girl With All the Gifts. Here is a trailer:

    I'm not particularly into zombie movies, but The Girl . . . was much better than the Korean Train to Busan. It's plot introduces some different elements into the zombie formula.

    You're welcome to keep your zombies as long as I can keep my trains!
