Train to Busan

Korean zombie film

Train to Busan is a 2016 South Korean zombie horror film set almost entirely on a high-speed train from Seoul to Busan during a sudden viral outbreak.

The title has become shorthand for tense, confined-space survival narratives and for the wave of acclaimed Korean genre films that crossed over to Western audiences: It's giving Train to Busan energy.
