Thank you for listening to Dead Man Still Walking with Dr. Walking Dead, proudly brought to you by Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, The Gold Standard of Horror Movie Podcasts.
This is one of those scenarios where I feel like something must be wrong with me. Where a movie is so universally adored that to not follow suit is to feel like maybe you were watching a different movie. I HATED Train to Busan. Now granted, there is, generally speaking, an Asian esthetic to movies that is usually lost on me. For me it comes down to a pervasive overacting, a hyper over emphasized quality to everything, and a complete lack of subtlety. I’m constantly aware I’m watching a movie, I’m never pulled in or immersed. It’s like constantly being slapped in the face, every scene. It obviously not a sub genre that suits me (although other big hitters like The Ring I really enjoyed.) I guess I’m the odd man out on this one! But that’s ok, there are lots more movies out there. 👍
You are spot on about the aesthetics, which I really didn’t go into much. I think what I love so much about this movie in that location. Having a bunch of zombies on a train is truly a terrifying scenario, as seen in The Sadness. I also do like the Korean zombies’ movements and mannerisms. And just because this is my first 10/10 review doesn’t mean you need to like it at all! 😂
