What critics compared Seoul Station to
Unfortunately, attempts at bigger-picture social commentary in the script by Yeon and Ryu Yong-jae fall short of the bar set by both 2016’s excellent “Train to Busan” and the sublimely nuanced “Seoul Station,” the feature-length animated prequel Yeon made in the same year.
Cowriter (with his "Train to Busan" partner Joo-Suk Park)/director Sang-ho Yeon, who began his zombie run with his animated “Seoul Station” before moving to live action with “Train to Busan,” one of the best examples of this horror subgenre, disappoints with a sequel that is more genre rehash than revelation.
Once again directed and co-written by Sang-ho Yeon, whose 2016 animated film “Seoul Station” is a prequel to “Train to Busan,” “Peninsula” picks up when a family in a car are too traumatized to stop for another family, whose car is broken down in the road.
Barreling onto the scene like, well, a runaway train, South Korean writer/director Yeon Sang-ho seized the world’s attention in 2016 with the one-two punch of Train to Busan and its animated prequel, Seoul Station.
Peninsula is the third zombie film from writer/director Yeon Sang-ho, along with animated prequel Seoul Station and 2016’s Train to Busan.
Now well established in Yeon’s Train To Busan and his prior animation Seoul Station, the zombie outbreak has engulfed the nation in Peninsula.
