Seoul Station Review: A Gripping and Intense Prequel to Train to Busan

This movie is supposed to be the prequel to Train to Busan. To be entirely honest, I cannot remember exactly how Train to Busan started. I don’t recall if there were already zombies in existence or if some catastrophic event triggered their appearance.

This movie doesn’t show how it all starts or what exactly caused the zombie infestation to begin. It appears that once we start watching, those zombies are already out there and the situation is already underway.

Since I don’t remember much from the original film, I do intend to watch it again before moving on to the sequel. I’m not entirely sure how this one ties in with the first film, but since my memory of it has faded, that’s likely on me more than anything else.

All that being said, the film was fairly entertaining and I did enjoy it. There is no shortage of intense scenes, and viewers should not come in expecting a happy ending. The film is relentless and keeps you on edge throughout. No one is truly safe.

The zombies in this film are not like the ones from The Walking Dead. These are much closer to World War Z territory, fast moving and very aggressive with no sign of letting up.

This was an entertaining film and I think most viewers will enjoy it. Whether or not it connects directly to Train to Busan is not really a dealbreaker, as it works well as a completely standalone film.

I enjoyed Seoul Station and can recommend it for viewing. Just keep in mind that the characters face a tough and unforgiving environment throughout, so be prepared for that going in.
