Train to Busanand its animated prequel revolutionized the zombie movie genre, but the sequel missed the mark and didn't live up to its predecessors. The 2016 original film hails from South Korea and was a shot in the arm of the sagging zombie film craze. By the latter half of the 2010s, zombies had been thoroughly played-out thanks to franchises like The Walking Dead, but Train to Busan still had something new to say. Combining fast-moving zombies with a gripping and dramatic plot involving human survivors, Train to Busan combined the best elements of previous zombie media.
