Train to Busan

Martial law is declared when a mysterious viral outbreak pushes Korea into a state of emergency. Those on an express train to Busan, a city that has successfully fended off the viral outbreak, must fight for their own survival…
Lupita Nyong'o
Actress, Writer
Train to Busan is extremely visually beautiful and I'm not keen on zombie films, but this one the heart of this film is the story of a father and a daughter that is so precious and we never lose track of that storyline, and that arc in the midst of all the craziness going on. And its just such a sophisticated zombie film and each character all the ancillary characters are specific and rich. Every time you lose somebody it costs you, and you know I really love investing in a whole group of people and then having them dwindle down to the very last one. It's just such a remarkable story.

Lupita Nyong'o
Actress, Writer
I loved first of all the whole Babadook dook dook thing and it's not a very sophisticated reason to love it but I like that these psychological thriller is wrapped in this kind of ghost in your closet story. And I also really appreciated that we didn't see too much from the Babadook. And so you spend a lot of time just kind of creating the monster in your head.
