Seoul Station (2016)

-

Seoul Station is a South Korean zombie flick that came out in 2016. It is a Prequel to Train to Busan (nope, haven't seen it yet but definitely will because of this.)

Imagine a homeless man walking through the streets. I'm sure we all have at least a few times in our lives. This man is unfortunately a little sicky. Like, everywhere. Because he turned into a fucking ZOMBIE. I guess you don't have to imagine because that's the intro.


We are then shown Hye-sun, she is a former prostitute who ran away from a brothel into the loving arms of Ki-woong. By that I mean he's kinda an asshole. She found out he put her sex ad online and they split because of it. The so called man that was to meet with Hye-sun is dun dun DUN her dad that was actually trying to look for her this whole time!! But holy shit the zombie outbreak has taken over! 

So basically the whole movie is her trying to survive and reunite with Ki-woong and her father who begrudgingly have to stick together so they can both find their loved one. 


I don't know about you but over the years I have been REALLY burned out of zombie movies and shows. Blame The Walking Dead mostly but I am just so over zombie media. I don't despise it because I still do view it but definitely not fangirling as much as I used to. Just like my choice to make a horror blog, zombies is pretty oversaturated. However, I will say I thoroughly enjoyed Seoul Station, actually. It's far from perfect but I feel this captures the essence of zombie flicks to a degree. The characters were well written and while I was initially bummed out on the style of animation for this movie, I almost just as quickly changed my mind as soon as the hoard of zombies came to fruition. There appears to be cgi or combo of animation. Idk I'm definitely not well versed to know this shit but it definitely is levels above the standard stuff I usually watch. I found the movements a little jerky but obviously this served the purpose extremely well for the zombies. As for the storyline, it has actual substance and depth to it in a way I didn't expect it to. As depressing as this movie was, I am absolutely pleased with the ending. That's all I'm going to say.


So if this movie has a message what would it be? How should I know? It's a zombie movie!

Absolutely no disclaimers for this movie.

And I would think this movie is for mature teens and above since there's some crude sex talk but nothing too serious.

That being said, what is the verdict on this movie?

5/5 Would watch again bruh.

  Trauma is a Chilean horror movie that came out in 2017 in the language of Spanish. How I watched: Tubi Update: Yo, I will be posting more of the hella disturbing picks when it comes to horror movies starting today, every Tuesday. I'm just tired of browsing r/DisturbingFilms seeing the same titles thrown around with me not knowing a clue about it 75% of the time. My body is ready. And I'm going down the list. It will be known as Terrible Tuesdays . Sound cheesy? COPE. For the short of it: This movie is about 4 women who travel to a small town and become the targets of a grotesque father and son with a very disturbing legacy and inflict horror upon these women. The long of it? Aye dios mio There was a period where I got straight up frustrated with the "horror" selections at my disposal when trying to view my next horror movie. As I've thoroughly stated before that I seek out recommendations from either other blogs and Reddit threads, more often than no...

Felidae is a German animated thriller/horror film that came out in 1994 in the language of German. Based on the book of the same name by Akif Pirinçci that is part of a series. How I Watched:  Youtube   (Remember to click closed captioning)  English Dub  available if you don't want to read subs.  You know how you look back in your life and remember that one kids movie and still get taken aback how dark and scary it was? Oh, I doubt it was only one! A lot of kids movies especially from my time growing up in in the 90s there are PLENTY of dark themes to movies marketed to kids. I will say that Felidae is NOT a kids movie and I would be hella shocked if it ever was one due to the nature of it.  I did catch this movie on Youtube as linked above and reading through the comment section apparently a lot of people watched this as CHILDREN! Uh What?! I absolutely would never allow my kid to watch this movie. As a teen? I mean, sure. Enough blabbering. Fo...
