I'm told by Korean speakers that the little girl speaks formally to her dad throughout the movie, indicating she doesn't feel close to him until the scene where she's begging him not to go, when she finally shifts to informal "close friends and family" speech, so for Koreans that scene hits even harder as a result.

This film truly is the greatest of all zombie movies. Everyone involved in this film gave 200%, and it shows.

It doesn't matter how many times I've seen this movie,even now,watching just a reaction of it the end still makes me cry.

I bawl every time I even watch a reaction to this one. That little girl acted her heart out!

Gong Yoo, the actor who plays the main protagonist later had a leading role in the series "Guardian: The lonely and great god". In this series there is a scene when he visits a movie theater with a girl, and the movie they are watching is the "Train to Busan". He completely freaks out and screams during the movie, and completely embarasses the girl. It is a really funny scene, just hilarious. XD

The infection time depends on how close the bite is to the brain. A bite on the foot or leg takes a minute or two to change and a neck or face bite is just several seconds.

The daughter's acting is so good. The ending always makes me cry

Yup, a frickin’ zombie movie that has the ability to make you cry. Definitely an S tier movie

30:08 Yes, that guy is one of the great movie villains and I’ve seen many say that he is worse than the zombies with his high kill count. And it is sadly true that it is realistic behavior.

Please give this little girl an Oscar. So sad 😭 The zombie actors must be contortionist! They move so well!

The big guy with the pregnant wife is kinda an action star in Korea (based on his movies). He is also in Marvel's Eternals as Gilgamesh.

I don't know if someone else has pointed this out yet or not but evidently they used break dancers for the zombies because they have the physical ability to go through the contortions we see.

I never thought a zombie flick would make me so emotional. This was a great film. I cannot say the same for the sequel. All the heart was taken out of it. 😢

Heartbreaking but also incredibly well made, an beautiful movie about fatherhood.

The father didnt give her the present to try and buy her affection the following day is her birthday so it's a birthday gift. Thats why he finally agrees to take her to Busan because its what she wanted for her birthday. Noone is really noticing the staggering woman because 1) they are in a culture where you mostly just mind your buisness and if anyone did notice her they would probably assume she is drunk or on drugs, they would treat the homeless man the same way like they are invisible 2) if you noticed when the father and daughter are heading to the station its still dark out so its really early in the morning and many of the passengars fall back to sleep once they are on the train like the father did. His parenting might be lacking in the beginning but I mean he did fall asleep and the little girl needed to go to the bathroom, she seems old enough to go by herself without telling him first. They dont know a zombie outbreak is about to happen.

Man you got me crying all over again and I’ve seen this like 10x 😭😂

If you liked this movie, you are gonna like "Kingdom" & "All Of Us Are Dead" which are both South Korean zombie series...one is set in the Joseon Dynasty and the other is set in a High School.

God this ending always devastates me, this and it's prequel Seoul Station are some of the best zombie movies.

18:00 i just noticed how the homeless guy just went ahead and walked out when everyone was telling him to, makes me think he's used to getting kicked out in spaces bc of his appearance

Lol... At the edge of my seat watching this recap with you despite having seen the movie a couple of times already. 😂 This is one of many amazing Korean movies out there...a very well-made zombie movie!

Greetings Mate! I’m glad you took me up on my recommendation of this tremendous film! It’s the only Zombie movie that’ll have you in tears. Plus, the little girl gives, what I believe, is the best child acting performance I have ever seen! She’s absolutely remarkable, wow!

Trust me, you’re not the only one who HATED that character and all of his selfish acts that got so many ppl killed from the father to be, the 2 high school kids, the 2 older sisters and the train conductor. But you’re right, in a situation like this or any stress filled survival situation, ppl would truly act like that prick. But kudos to the person who portrayed him cause you know it takes talent to portray a character that horrible haha All in all, this is a great zombie film with great character development. With all the zombie films out there, this one is at the top of the list next to George A Romero’s Living Dead films. A few I would recommend I think you’ll like: The girl with all the gifts (2016) has a stellar cast with a great story and Return of the Living Dead (1985) is a great comedy horror that has gained a huge cult following due to its focus on the 80’s punk rock scene. Cheers mate!

I don't know if someone already said this, but the last lyrics she sang before the movie finished was "until we meet again" :"(((

25:30 this also brought me to tears. The kids acting really is incredible

Watching this tonight at work during my downtime. Going to have the tissues ready, the ending is so emotional!

Great reaction, mate! This movie grabs the heart and soul, and makes the viewer feel vulnerable. 👌🏼

I saw this movie pop up in so many reactions and thought that ok I must have a look.. then saw the ratings and were ok not in the mood for another zombie movie and boy were I wrong. This movie is up on my top 10 list without any doubt. The charector arks of Gong Yoo's charector is amazing (last scene on the train still makes me cry (and I've seen this movie so many times now)).. Ma Dong-seok have such a protective and manly aura and is THE man to have along your side in a situation ...and holy H.. Kim Eui-sung makes my blood boil in ways I don't often feel.. he did a great job in being the most dispicable human alive! Also... no need to even talk about how good Su-an Kim were in the movie. She's such a cute girl and have scenes that just tear your heart apart. I saw at some point that she didn't know Gong Yoo's ending and the yelping and crying were at some point real because she didn't know about it and it wasn't just acting. Hope that it's not true -because then you really would need to give her therapy afterwards..

Uh-oh, a naive youngster is boarding the "Train To Busan." When "Parasite" was in the theaters, KZfaq recommended this movie. I HATE Zombie movies, but I changed my mind when the Deer got back up! The emotional roller coaster from Fear to Dread to Anger to Sorrow was exhausting. Kudos to the writer(s), director(s), actors, and especially the stunt performers for creating a Modern Classic.

Great reaction TTB is one of my favorite movies, def favorite zombie movies. I'd also highly recommend "Kingdom" another great South Korean zombie series but set in the 16th century Joseon period (currently still streaming on Netflix).

The little girl actress Kim Su-an (character name Soo-an) is now 17 year old and still a working actress.

If you haven’t seen #Alive or the series Kingdom, I’d highly recommend those too.

11:02 Excellent call on the eventual (and highly unfortunate) fate of everyone’s favorite character.

I just started watching it, but I noticed that the subtitles in the movie were wrong. That scene where she says "I think there's a zombie hiding in there" actually says something completely different. I don't know if the rest of the movie has the right subs, but I thought you should know (in case nobody said that yet).

Zombie movies are my favorite movies too! I'm so glad you enjoy them. For me I love all apocalyptic movies/shows because you see people from all walks of life overcoming their differences and working together with the ultimate understanding that we are the same.

Did you forget how people are like that during covid lockdown. The nurses who worked in hospitals are being treated like as if they carry the virus. Even when they were just walking on the street going to work they are being bullied. Not all, but it happened to some.. So this film, pretty accurate. Love the reaction hope you do Hachi a dog's tale.

Nice reaction! The subtitles were absolutely trash, I'm sorry you didn't get to experience the movie with the official subtitles, they add to the story.

Speaking of your quote at the end about being "genuinely scared of those zombies", that reminded me of my own reaction after I saw the [Will Smith] movie "I am Legend" (if you haven't seen it, you should!) ... in a theater on my college campus, and since I lived on campus, I had a 15-minute (BIG campus) WALK home alone IN THE DARK on uncrowded sidewalks (!) I am a horror movie enthusiast but that was the freakiest after-movie experience I ever had lol. "I am Legend" is not only freaky but has some heavy elements in it as well, like this one did.

This is so strange. The subtitles near the beginning are SO different to every copy of this I've seen on every streaming service. Like in none of them did she say "I think there are zombies hiding here" right after getting on the train. Zombies weren't even mentioned for ages. The man had said if she didn't finish school she would end up like him (the guy hiding in the toilet) and she told him that her mother said anyone who says that is a bad person. To which the man replies "she must have failed school." Nothing about zombies at all. Where did you find this copy? o.O I'm actually wondering now what these subtitles left out that didn't let you know it was her birthday and that's why he was getting her a gift. this is SO odd and seems like someone's troll joke making up their own lines for the movie lol

one of my favorite things about this movie is how selfless so many characters were. the train conductor who was determined to keep the train going despite not knowing if there were even any survivors, the people who kept doors open just a few seconds longer to let more people through, and even the soldier at the end who, even after being given the order, hesitated long enough that the girl was able to start singing. it's very telling to me that, despite the cast being full of young, strong healthy people, the survivors at the end were a young child and a very pregnant woman. i feel like in most other apocalypse movies, the members of society who are generally seen as "weaker" (like children, the elderly, the sick) die early, but in this movie so many people were courageous and selfless so things were different. really inspiring to me. another thing I like is how similar the main character is to the "villain" (the other businessman). they're both very wealthy, and they're both selfish and are willing to sacrifice others for their own survival. but as we see the main character starts to change, and even sacrifices himself to save his daughter and the woman by putting his hand in the zombie's mouth so it would bite him instead.

9:09 😂 Loved that musical series of “no.” 😁👍👍

Korean movie/drama are amazing. If you like zombie, you should also react to K-drama: All of us are dead, Happiness, Kingdom Ss1 & 2. Also if you like monster/fiction, you should watch these K-drama: Sweet home, Connect, Duty after school

I know this video is a year old, but I've only recently found this channel and have been binge watching most of his videos lol. I just wanted to say that the baseball player is the same actor that was the son in Parasite. He's also in Okja, which is a fantastic Korean/English movie by the same director as Parasite, Snowpiercer, and The Host. Highly recommend Parasite and Okja for this channel.

You might want to consider another similar but unique zombie mini-series from Korea called kingdom. Zombies are gross scary and very moist. Plot and acting are exceptional.

Great reaction. If you love zombies, Kingdom is a fantastic historical Korean series and would love you to react to it. Only 2 series with only 6 episodes each. New subscriber from the U.K.

I think you watched a version with bad subs, because the older gentleman said to the little girl at the bathrooms that she should study really hard or she’ll end up like the homeless man, and she said back to him “My mom said anyone who says stuff like that is a bad person” not that contrived bit about zombies.

Who would of thought a zombie movie would have so many characters get nice development and resolutions to show growth.

I don't really like zombie movies, but Korean productions are very good at making this type of movie and today this is my favorite movie.

How didn’t I know you watched this?? Oscar, Gong Yoo and Choi Woosik in one frame? Yes please

Silent watcher here! Have been for around a year. If you liked this film, please check out All of us are dead (which is a series). Similar premise (zombie apocalypse in Asia), but it begins in a high school. They manage to keep the action central, whilst also completely humanising the characters, making you love each one. I think someone like you, who has such great emotional intelligence, would love it! Thanks for what you do, makes my day :)))

That ending is so heavy. Great films.

22:39 it's a miracle the pregnant lady's baby is still alive like usually in Asian dramas a tiny thing would cause a miscarriage but here she still good

Bruh Seok-Woo activated the manual so that the door doesn't auto and accidentally slide open. It stays closed.

I’m loving your reactions mate. Great job

Heyo, just wanted to drop a line to say how much I'm enjoying your reactions. Love the FRIENDS reaction, as well as this one. I will stay tuned for more and I hope your channel continues to gain traction! :)

Such a great movie, it took me too long to watch! The dad is the subway guy from Squid Game/Round 6. I just found your channel with Top Secret, subscribed! Apart from other slasptick such as Hot Shots and Spaceballs, I HIGHLY recommend the series Interview With the Vampire (AMC), only 7 episodes, your fellow Aussie Sam Reid as the iconic Lestat! It's based on Anne Rice's books, there was a great movie in 1994 and a NOT so great """sequel""" around a decade later. But the series unexpectedly swept me off my feet!!!

Still one of my most favourite Korean movies. This is so iconic.

Zombie apocalypse definitely the worst way for a world to end my biggest nightmare

I love japanese and Korean movies/shows Have you ever seen "I saw the devil" I don't really know if you like disturbing movies

"Y'know what? I would honestly just get naked. I'd just be like 'look at me'." No need to threaten us with a good time, ya massive tease.

for me this is the best zombie moviee i cant believe it got me so emotional even when i watch the reaction of this. btw i lovee your rection pls keep doing thiss. And if i can recommend you a great zombie series is called “happiness” its korean zombie series played by great actors, great stories, good characters, and the music... i cant even describe u have to experience it

God the acting chops on that little girl. And the screams just lasting so uncomfortably long. I’m an only daughter and the few times I’ve seen my father cry is when we saw that scene in theaters

the subtitles are kinda off at some parts lol. Love this movie btw and love your reaction

Oh my ur reaction in this r so cute n raw, hope u will keep doing it~😊

Train To Busan is right up there with 28 Days Later in terms of infection.

15:27 HAHAHAHAHAHA that "AH!" got me laughing so hard gosh

This is one of the best zombie apocalypse films ever made. Far superior to most of the genre. '28 Days Later' isn't a zombie film though and I'll die on that hill. LOL. The original 'Night of the Living Dead'(1968) and 'Dawn of the Dead" (1978) set the standard.

The actor that plays as the father is also in: • Goblin Korean Drama - Show Trailer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bqeTgaiHuuC6ZKM.htmlfeature=shared - Show OST (Music Video with some clips) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rcp4mMyHy5bRlKc.htmlfeature=shared • Squid Game mini series (as the main man recruiting people to enter the game)

Train to Busan is my favorite zombie movie. It is absolutely fantastic. It is also so damn heartbreaking. I cried so much while watching it. And that f*ckin' businessman made it to the top of my most hated characters list. Just detestable.

You're on a roll with these super light movies 😅 Maybe cap the streak off with Requiem For A Dream, then something like Legally Blonde

Anyone who doesn't cry on this movie at least at the last scene, doesn't have a soul and I don't trust them

this is a good gateway to korean cinema :D hope you react to more in the future

If you liked that one check out these as well, they are all made in Korea, each has an all star cast of great actors, and are still being shown on Netflix now. Sweet Home, All of us are Dead, Kingdom Ashin of the North, and Kingdom the series, all are Zombie moves, Kingdom, and Kingdom Ashin are set in the 1400`s , I`d suggest watching in the original Korean with Subtitle, vs watching with English voice actors. most voice actors dubbed movies just sound bad.

2:19 it always takes one to start an apocalypse. Worst nightmare one of my worst nightmares, scientists usually the cause of it, it's scary but mostly sad to be in this situation well scary when living it but sad when watching it. Stupidity is everyone's downfall.

17:42 min. I agree with you, no one likes the group mentality of fear. 😐 But it happens. 😑

I saw this movie a long time ago, I thought it was excellent but I never want to see it again, not even a snippet because it was so distressing and sad.

26:45 3, that includes the fetus, you forgot to mention it when you talk about the woman and the kid.

Made me cry then, made me cry now 😭

"This guy's kind of a workaholic" Note: All koreans are workaholic

RECOMMENDATION: All of us are Dead. It's a Korean zombie TV show. You would love it!

3:06 but I mean he was tired so he fell asleep and she shouldn't have wondered off without him knowing

I watched this many times,i love kdramas Chinese dramas Thai dramas and zombie movies alot of horror scary groosum stuff, zombie movies or shows are more sad than scary and man all it takes is one to be infected to start an apocalypse plus stupidity is usually theor downfall and also people who will do anything to save themselves so yeah.

21:10 I wouldn't feel comfortable keeping my back facing an open door like close it

14:30 isn't it obvious to that evil character that if infected they turn quickly so quickly

Helu, coming from your Hacksaw Ridge reaction vid & wanted to leave a recommendation! If you're interested in seeing Andrew Garfield in another quite different role I really recommend watching "Under the Banner of Heaven". Such an amazing series, one of the best I've ever seen.

The subs that say "Don't go, father! Come with us." isn't correct. It's closer to "Don't go. It's my fault/I was wrong." She's blaming herself, likely for wanting to go to Busan.

As to the ending, I wonder how many people they did kill thinking they were infected

This one? This one is a masterpiece.

Hey Oscar! It would be so cool to see you react to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later

No hate So many reactors are saying the dad should've chopped off his hand Let me tell you something.... chopping off hand to prevent the infection to spread is generally used in American and European movies, in Asian movies it's not that common

Love all you’re work and keep it up! If you ever wanna visit milwaukee and come to our film fest, let me know! Once a year we have 3 theaters that show indie films from around the world! Great opportunity to meet directors, producers and plenty others! I would love to set you up downtown and show you around!!

Fantastic film....Koreans make great movies!

Is it only me or the subs are wrong? I have seen this movie multiple times and I swear some lines were different.

Bra, you just pop up when I finish watching train to Busan for the 10th time and want to watch some reaction 😅

Its usually humans the scientists some worker that starts the zombie apocalypse

Speaking of these types of movies... would you consider reacting to the movie "Miracle in Cell No. 7" (preferably Korean version) ??? I've seen some really intense movies, but I personally "still can't believe" my own reaction to THAT movie... (!)

I am sorry, but following the crowd, makes one guilty as anyone else

@6:00 Re: "The War of the Worlds"... PLEASE try and find a video of Jeff Wayne's musical that you can react to... You'll thank me. ;) :p

You might also like the movie "The Night Eats the World".

Have you thought about watching The Walking Dead series? Just the greatest zombies series EVER!! It'll keep ya on your toes for sure!!

You can always count on koreans to give you the Best zombie actors ever. Like istg theres gotta be a School or something cause everytime i see a korean movie/tv show with zombies they're the Best ever with the contorting and such. After watching plenty of korean zombie movies, american zombie movies just dont cut it lol ours are good but theyre not Contorting themselves like these ones do lol
