Train to Busan (2016) - ”The Father’s Day Episode”

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a high-speed plunge into Train to Busan (2016), the South Korean zombie thriller that redefined the genre. Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, this film isn’t just a nail-biting horror ride—it’s a brutal look at humanity under pressure, social division, and what it really means to protect the ones you love.

We break down the film’s kinetic pacing, heartbreaking character arcs, and masterful use of confined space to ratchet up tension. From the emotionally distant Seok-woo to the fan-favorite Sang-hwa (aka WIFE GUY aka the punching MVP of the undead), we explore how Train to Busan delivers both gore and gut-punches. We also talk about the film’s deeper themes of sacrifice, selfishness, and survival—and whether the tears at the end were earned or engineered.

Hop on board as we discuss one of the most gripping zombie films of the 21st century—and why Train to Busan still hits like a runaway train.
