[00:07:16][music] Hyun Bin fights zombies with a sword in medieval Korea. Prince Lee Chun returns from exile to find his kingdom overrun by night demons brought by a Dutch merchant vessel. The corrupt Minister of War weaponizes the infected to stage a coup against the crown. These creatures hunt in packs, move fast, and only emerge after dark. The same production company behind Train to Busousan, financed this project. The drum battle sequence, Hyun Bin cutting through a horde while war drums pound, is one of the most visceral zombie set pieces ever filmed.

[00:08:00]>> [music] >> Number six, 28 Days Later.

[00:08:06]>> Lesson one, you never go anywhere alone unless you got no choice.

[00:11:26]Workaholic fund manager boards a train from Seoul to Busousan with his young daughter. The infection starts in the last carriage and spreads forward car by car. Passengers hear the screaming getting closer but have nowhere to run except the next carriage. Maong Suk delivers a performance so physical that director Yan Sangho designed action sequences around his frame. Train to Busousan earned $98 million on a $9 million budget. The emotional gut punch in the final act is one of the most devastating moments in zombie cinema.

[00:12:06]Number two, Zombie Land Double Tap.

[00:12:14]>> Close, but no cigar. Zombie kill of the week went to Miss Cinti Kabula.
