Hello, and welcome to the AUKN simulwatch of the Train to Busan movie trilogy!
For the first time, an AUKN simulwatch makes the leap to the Media Discussion section of the forums. If you're new to simulwatching on AUKN and want to learn more, check out the Simulwatch schedule and suggestions list thread here:
Train to Busan, starring Gong Yoo
Train to Busan is a trio of live-action zombie horror films from South Korea. Online movie database IMDb describes the 2016 film that spawned the trilogy as follows:
Story
Sok-woo, a father with not much time for his daughter, Soo-ahn, are boarding the KTX, a fast train that will bring them from Seoul to Busan. But during their journey, the apocalypse begins, and most of the earth's population become flesh-craving zombies. While the KTX is shooting towards Busan, the passengers fight for their families and lives against the zombies — and each other.
An animated prequel, Seoul Station, in production at the same time as the original, was released less than a month later. In 2020, a stand-alone sequel, Peninsula, set four years after the events of the original, also saw release. All three films are directed by Yeon Sang-ho (The King of Pigs, 2011).
How to watch
The films are available to buy in the UK on Blu-ray and DVD from distributor Studio Canal, either individually or as a complete trilogy box set from your usual retailers. Credit goes to AUKN member @Geriatric hedgehog for noting that Peninsula is also streaming on Amazon Prime Video, with Train to Busan and Seoul Station available to rent or buy digitally via the service. (Amazon Prime Video membership required.)
The AUKN simulwatch will take in the three movies in order of release in the run-up to Halloween, the perfect time of year for a zombie horror-thon. Our schedule is shown in the table below.
So, strap yourselves in tight, folks, and get ready to ride that train. It's gonna be a bumpy (and gory!) ride.
