This animated zombie film (92 minutes) from director Yeon Sang-ho was the lead up to his live film in the same year - Train to Busan. Train to Busan is a terrific film mixing horror, adventure and extreme pathos as it completely sucks you in to the lives of a few people trying to escape - often unsuccessfully. Both films revolve around an unexplained outbreak of very hungry zombies on a rampage in the capital city of Korea and both are also an indictment of Korean society and class differences. But other than the overlaying zombie attack, the plots are very different. In Busan it centered primarily around a father trying to keep his young daughter safe on a train out of the city, while here it is a father and his daughter's pimp/boyfriend trying to find the daughter while avoiding being eaten. Zombies are everywhere and these ones can run really fast. There is a twist at the end that comes out of nowhere and is really nasty and bleak, but for me it is a little harder to be vested in the lives of animated character and so it didn't bother me as much. But it is still nervous going where the few acts of heroism rarely work out right.

Rating: 7/10
