Welcome to our cabin in the Shenandoah for another week's stories.

I did want to mention another scary movie that I happened to see just before we get on to our fiction for the evening.

Last week, I talked about a movie from Korea, and today, I'll tell you about another one.

Did you happen to see the movie World War

Z? It was okay for me, not great, not bad, somewhere in the middle. But there was one thing I

particularly liked about the execution of the zombie movie, and that's how much the film's

zombies were brutalized. So many scenes of the zombies climbing over each other, pushing against their neighbors

with no consideration for them at all, even trampling each other. Seng Ho Yon's train to Busan

builds on that style of zombies, but puts the camera much closer to the seething mass of zombies

boiling forward.

Although the film I mentioned last week,

The Whaling, I believe, loses a good deal in translation.

Train to Busan does not.

I feel that it presents its ideas in a very straightforward manner.

I'm not sure how hard it is to get your hands on a copy of it,

but if you're into Korea and cinema or zombies, I'd recommend this one. And watch for the very ending scene. I felt that it was an

homage to the original The Night of the Living Dead, but couldn't bring it all the way home, which

was just a style choice. I won't say any more because I don't want to ruin it for anyone.
