Yeon Sang-ho · 2016 · rail

Yeon Sang-ho's 2016 film. As a zombie outbreak sweeps South Korea, fund manager Seok-woo and his young daughter board the KTX bullet train at Seoul, bound for Busan and the one city still holding out. The infection tears through the carriages one by one, past a fallen quarantine at Daejeon and a desperate fight to reach the front cars, as the line runs south toward the last safe ground.

  1. 1
    Seoul

    Seok-woo boards the Busan-bound KTX with his daughter Su-an just as the outbreak reaches the platform; an infected woman slips through the doors moments before they seal.

  2. 2
    Daejeon

    The train pulls in at Daejeon for a military quarantine that has already collapsed; the soldiers are undead, and the survivors are driven back aboard as the station overruns.

  3. 3
    Dongdaegu

    Cut off in the packed cars, the survivors batter their way through carriage after carriage of the infected to reach the front, losing the strongest among them along the way.

  4. 4
    Busan

    Only a child and a pregnant woman come through, walking the last tunnel toward the soldiers holding the quarantine line at Busan, the final uninfected city.
