Yeon gets a lot of mileage - comic and tragic - out of the dwindling survivors’ reactions. When the one infected passenger who sneaks aboard becomes many, the drama of group dynamics takes over, as Irwin Allen decreed it.
Animator Yeon’s first feature-length live-action movie takes its sweet time establishing its core besieged characters - namely a workaholic divorced dad (Gong Yoo) and the neglected daughter (Kim Su-an) he’s taking to visit mom - before they board at Seoul for the trek to Busan, as hints of unrest and “workers’ strikes” percolate ominously on nearby screens.
It’s chew-chew on the choo-choo with “Train to Busan,” a Korean zombie flick from Yeon Sang-ho (“The King of Pigs”) that has more in common with high-speed disaster films and train thrillers than slow-walking undead sagas.
