The Sequel To One Of The Best Zombie Movies Of All Time Was So Bad You Probably Don’t Even Know It Exists

A zombie from Peninsula with Ma Dong-seok as Yoon Sang-hwa in Train to Busan.

Train to Busan is one of the best zombie movies of the 21st century - and spawned a sequel so disappointing it was immediately forgotten. The original Train to Busan felt like a breath of fresh air for zombie movies back in 2016. The genre had become oversaturated by an endless wave of movies, video games, and shows like The Walking Dead. Train to Busan stood out because it was a relentless, emotional ride filled with great characters: it also managed to make its zombies truly terrifying.

The Train to Busan sequel stands at 55% on Rotten Tomatoes, with many expressing surprise the film was made by the same director. The original is grounded by its rich characters, and the film made viewers truly invest in their fight for survival.

The film attempted something similar to the Cloverfield franchise, with each entry taking place in the same world, but following a new story and set of characters. It's a spiritual sequel in that sense, with the four-year gap between the events of the original and Peninsula allowing audiences to see what became of South Korea after the zombie outbreak. It's an interesting setup for sure - but one that made for a very familiar zombie adventure.
