Train to Busan

>no killing in South Korea, even in movies

I should say, that SK promotes non-violence to the max, and the maximum violence you will see is someone getting beat up. In this movie they dont even cross that line. None of the actors actually kill a zombie or showed them doing as such.

I watched a SK movie at the library last night and every character died except for two. Bodies were mutilated with axes. A man's neck was punctured with a nail in a fight to prevent a woman from being raped. At this point five or so middle-aged white women left.

South Korea has some of the bleakest, most violent films from anywhere around the world today

This wasn't a traditional horror movie. This was a realism centered movie. No one in this movie killed a zombie at all. AT ALL. It's SK culture that decided to make this movie into sappy shit centered on the little girl at the end, who personally I found to be annoying as hell. Like I said it was good stylistically, it was literally Speed with Zombies. You could pitch this shit to hollywood.

I agree that the sappy connection with the daughter was terrible. The movie was weak overall.

Go see The Wailing if you want a good Korean horror from this year

>why wasn't it like muh video games?

You're the reason the zombie genre sucks now.

I watch a fair number of Korean movies, and there are no shortage of people getting shot and shit in the one's I've seen

I barely watch Korean movies personally because I know how formulaic they can be. I heard Train to Busan was good so I watched it. If I do look for Asian horror I look to Japan then SK.
Fuck off pleb, you know Im right. This isn't reddit.

Yeah but this movie was explicit with non of the humans killing zombies, only avoiding them or beating them up.

There were some pretty serious and repeated blows to the head, which I would expect killed some (and those specific zombies then didn't necessarily reappear right after)

generally they don't get shot because guns are hard to get in Korea (this is often a plot point), but there are many stabbings, or fights with blunt weapons

They weren't killed. A few blows to the head with a blunt object doesn't traditionally stop a zombie unless you bash their brains in, so even those shown would rise. None of the actors picked up a gun off a soldier, or anything. It was beat up, run, beat up, run. And these zombies were smarter than TWD types.Only zombies I can think of that might be equal is 28 days later zombies.

The Wailing isn't formulaic. Pretty good spiritual mythos and not anything like Busan. I highly recommend it

It's not a zombie movie pleb.

It depends on the movie, the ones I've watched often had plenty of firearms.
But in terms of realism, yes. Firearms are basically banned in Korea, criminals typically beat each other with bats and pipes or use knives. I do love when they show this in movies, and it'll be some huge gang brawl of 30+ guys with pipes
I didn't see every zombie they bashed in the head get up, so they may well have been killed. But what other weapons did they have anyways? They had no real chance to acquire any rifles from the soldiers in their brief scene, and the rest of the time they were on a train. It's not like they were going to find a bunch of firearms or bladed weapons in luggage on a train. Point being that the fact that they had weapons that weren't efficient for killing zombies seems to me to be just reflective of the fact that there aren't really any on a train, as opposed to an attempt to reduce violence in the film

I can't find a decent torrent where the subs don't disappear after one minute of dialogue

not exactly, but it has zombie elements, especially in the first half

I never said it was a zombie movie

It wasn't savage enough for them to have been killed. A few bashes over the head with bat wouldn't kill a 'traditional zombie' and there was no indication they killed one. They had chances to acquire handguns from the soldiers at the train stations if they killed a zombie or two.

It's a zombie movie if it has zombies in it. The entire plot is centered around a guy and his daughter in a zombie outbreak.

>hurr why isn't it [shitty western trope]

>durr why are all movies so bland nowadays

lol please fuck off from foreign cinema you americucks

>redditor failing at a comeback

i didn't know about this. ty

>pleb pretending to be not from reddit
you scream of imdb scum

The problem was the fucking cliche "le rich businessman is willing to sacrifice others in order to survive, but karma catches up to him eventually!" at least they did the "any average joe who tries to stop rich and powerful people from being dicks will probably die in the attempt".

Also, shitty ending with the singing, like, does Korea not have night vision?

>still failing

lmao time to kys

They might not have had any handy, and didn't have night vision sights.
But what bothered me was that they were a ways from the tunnel exit. They could easily just wait until they could see them before choosing whether to engage. Or use a spotlight
>Also that scope reticle was nonsense

>night vision
>during broad daylight

it doesn't work that way dumbanon.

>kys
no u

>It wasn't savage enough for them to have been killed
Didn't seem that way to me. Nailed them over the head repeatedly with bats and batons could easily kill, and it's not like it was a really gory movie anyways where I'd expect they have to incorporate that.
As for the guns, the only time when they faced zombies that might have had firearms on them (which, typical soldiers normally don't carry handguns, and riot police may not have them either) was when they were being faced with a full-on zerg rush from them. Hardly an opportunity to kill and loot a bunch of them

Where can I watch this? Is it only available for torrent?

They beat them but there was no definate "zombie is dead" moment. If you watch TWD for example, you see a zombie die if beaten or shot.

It could have been written in if they wanted a character to take a gun. It was a plot device to not allow a SK character use a gun, because guns are banned in SK. See?

It just strikes me as merely a reflection of the fact that there are hardly any guns in SK, as opposed to a deliberate decision to avoid them
Besides which even if they got one, they'd be useless with it. Some might be able to use a rifle from conscription, but a handgun in particular takes a ton of practice to be able to hit anything with at even 10 meters (contrary to what every movie and show seems to think)

The only people that are allowed to use guns in SK are police and armed forces. SK doesnt promote firearms at all, just like porn. There were too many instances where any character in the movie could have beat a zombie and grabbed a gun but did not.

Do you even know what I was talking about? Right at the fucking end in the tunnel, they're like "oh we can't see if they're zombies or not! JUST SHOOT GO GO GO" and the girl starts singing, so they don't shoot.

If it was THAT dark that they couldn't tell they were zombies or not, why weren't they using night vision? And even if in your mystical world that wasn't possible, why didn't they just fucking wait? Chances are they weren't even within effective combat range as it was.
