"Train to Busan" was directed by Yeon Sang-ho. He is one of the leading creators in the Korean animation world, and has worked on feature-length animations such as `` Pig King, '' which was screened in the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival, as well as ` `I Am God '' and `` Seoul Station/Pandemic. '' . ``New Infection'' will be director Yeon's first live-action feature film.

At Seoul Station before dawn, the high-speed train KTX bound for Busan departed on time. However, no one noticed that just before that, a woman acting suspiciously ran into the car. In reality, she was infected with a virus that turns humans violent. The crew member who tried to rescue her, who was groaning in pain, was attacked, and nearby passengers began to notice something strange. However, they are attacked by infected crew members and fall victim to death one after another. The railway is a closed space, and the only way to escape is to retreat and move the train. The passengers take various measures to find a way to escape, but...

The fear of Dawn of the Dead pushing out like a tocoroten

George A. Romero sadly passed away on July 16, 2017. Since he established the Dawn of the Dead movie genre, various Dawn of the Dead have appeared in the world. Romero himself disliked running Dawn of the Dead, but as time moved faster and audiences sought more fright, Dawn of the Dead began to acquire speed. Then, in 2013's ` `World War Z ,'' ``quantity'' was added to the mix, creating the fear of Dawn of the Dead looming over Dawn of the Dead in large numbers.

Although it's a rough classification, when viewed from the perspective of Dawn of the Dead behavior, ``New Infection'' can be said to be a work in the lineage of ``World War Z.'' As you can see in the trailer, the footage of a large number of infected people (Dawn of the Dead) being pushed like a torrent into a high-speed train car is shocking and leaves a feeling of despair. While this kind of production arouses fear, ``New Infection'' also has something in common with ``World War Z'' in that there are few grotesque depictions of human body destruction. This is probably because they were conscious of the ratings so that more people would see it.

In Japan, the film ethics organization (Eirin) reviews the ratings: G (anyone can see it), PG12 (elementary school students need advice and guidance), R15+ (can be seen by people over 15 years old), R18+ (18 years old) It is divided into four stages (see above). Among Dawn of the Dead movies released in recent years, `` I Am a Hero '' is rated R15+, ` `Resident Evil: The Finale '' and `` Z Island '' are rated PG12, and Dawn of the Dead movies that require brutality tend to be rated PG12 or higher. However, ``New Infection'' and ``World War Z'' stimulate fear through the means of ``quantity,'' eliminate brutality as much as possible, and earn a G rating that anyone can watch.
