Zombies are scary. Fast zombies are scarier. Fast zombies in an enclosed space? Yikes. A high-speed intercity train leaves Seoul with just one infected aboard, but that’s all it takes for all hell to break loose. 2016’s Train to Busan is an oozy doozy horror-thriller, the voracious bloodlust of undead bodies an affront to the sleek shininess of the train, the narrow carriages concentrating and amplifying the terror they bring. But the real monsters are, of course, among the uninfected, as the passengers fight among themselves as they fight for their lives. It’s, well, a ride.
