Here a diverse group of people are brought together to fend off zombies on a very narrow train. As such, writer-director Sang-ho Yeon's smashing together of the disaster movie genre with modern running zombies - and all the frantic, breathless action they bring with them - makes Train to Busan a treat for fans of both genres. The zombie genre is so well worn, anything fresh to sink your teeth into is always darkly delicious.

Infrequent strong language includes "bulls-t," "bitch," and "arse." A few brands feature in the movie, including Burger King, Audi, and Nintendo. One character lets others die to save himself. A father, Seok-woo (Gong Yoo), takes care of his daughter, Su-an (Su-an Kim), and forms a group with survivors to help others escape. Teamwork, courage, compassion, and communication help train passengers under siege from zombies to get out of desperate situations. Most characters are courageous and resourceful. The movie features scenes of civil unrest, a train crash, and people falling from helicopters. Zombies kill many people and they in turn instantly become zombies. Despite the intensity it is more of a fun action movie than a chilling horror.

Parents need to know that Train to Busan is an excellent South Korean zombie horror - with English subtitles - that features frantic, bloody violence, and intense scenes in enclosed spaces. A kid is given a Nintendo Wii and a DS, and a DS poster also features. Visible brands include Burger King, Audi, and Nintendo.
