Seoul Station (2016)
7/10
packs its biggest punch at the end
27 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I don't know why, but 2 of the main characters (the daughter & her boyfriend)kept irritating me throughout the film, but redeem themselves at the end in a way you wouldn't expect.

Conversely, the father who started out the film heroically in search of his daughter, in the end proves he's anything but.

The social commentary of how we judge & fear the mentally ill & homeless is exemplified well, particularly in the only scene with a bit of humour in it where the daughter & her homeless companion are desperately trying to lift the security roller door in an attempt to escape the clutches of what appears to be a zombie running towards them.

Like Train to Busan, the final father & daughter scene was quite devastating, but in a COMPLETELY different way! It's an ending that caught me by surprise emotionally & shows there are fates worse than being killed by the undead.
