Two decades of remakes, a television juggernaut wringing the last drops from the shambling apocalypse, and a genre so codified you could set your watch by the beats. Then a Korean animation director made his first live-action feature, put an outbreak on a high-speed train from Seoul to Busan, and reminded everyone what the form was actually for. <em>Train to Busan</em> was the sleeper hit of that year&rsquo;s festival circuit and a monster at the Korean box office, and it works because Yeon Sang-ho remembered the thing most zombie films forget: the walking dead were always a way to talk about the living.</p>Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:00:00 +0000
