Product Description

As a zombie virus surges through the homeless community of Seoul Station and soon spreads to the city, a former prostitute tries to survive in the rapidly escalating chaos, while her would-be pimp boyfriend and anxious father search for her in the blood-and-neon-soaked streets of the South Korean capital as swarms of ravenous undead continue to rise.

Synopsis:

As the sun sets around Seoul Station, an old man thought to have died sinks his teeth into the warm flesh of a homeless person. Soon, the streets are filled with vicious zombies desperate to feed.

Hae-sun, a runaway, witnesses the frightening sight while her father Suk-gyu and boyfriend desperately search for her. As the attacked become the attackers, the government declares a lock out of the station, leaving the uninfected to struggle desperately against the dangerous undead. With zombie numbers exploding, people without a home to return to, now have to flee without a place to run to, in order to survive.

In the animated prequel to the global breakout hit Train to Busan, see where the horror started.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is it bad I wasn't sad anyone died but a homeless guy?
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2022

I watched Train to Busan, about a month or so ago and I was in tears by the end. It was an amazing movie. And I'm not a zombie movie fan. I even cared about the jerk who was a total jerk.

I saw the reviews for this and thought - I'll give it a try.

It's the start of the zombies for the movie, just a different point of view in survival ... by the end of it - I mean, everyone was mostly a jerk. The things they did with zombies 30 feet away. I thought 'if you're that dumb, you deserve to die.'

However, I did watch to the end which means it held my attention. You learn how petty people are. Homeless guy who got shot and the athletic man on the power line. Those two made me sad. It is a good story. The animation was good. The characters are real. But a few times I was thinking 'Americans (that's me) would have been like 'I better be quiet, so they don't kill me'. LOL! That and there has to be a shotgun somewhere near me.

5 stars - while frustrating, the character of human nature is there. But it didn't bring me to tears like Train to Busan. It made me want to slap a few people. For that I can't dock any stars because that's how humans 'do'.

Give it a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Zombie Anime-but not ONE of the characters is likable

Seriously, this is well drawn, a top notch anime for detail and story. However-I couldn't finish it because the characters are all such awful people you just sit there hoping they all get eaten quickly so you'd have to hear or see them any more. mainly hear-holy moly these have to be the whiniest living making a stand against the undead set set of characters I have ever seen-and I am a huge fan of all zombie and living dead media.

Okay to be fair-there is ONE decent person who actually tries at the beginning to help his friend before everything goes down the path to full living dead outbreak mode, but even he is whiney and annoying from the get go to the point you don't hate him but won't miss him when he is gone either. The rest of the living humans though would probably be better people as living dead ghouls out for human flesh. At least the whining and indecisive 'oh woe is me' nonsense stops at that point.

If you like zombie movies, you should easily be able to enjoy this. Make sure you keep in mind.... zombies are scary so people will be terrified and hide. the reviews that say they were bad, makes me laugh. If zombie movie characters were all these people who were not scared and not trying to get away from this already walking corpse that will do anything to get to you.... how would that play out? Consider it from your own place if you were in the situation, or even in real life. Starving bear chasing after you.... do you a) act like an idiot and try and fight the bear open handed , or maybe b) run the hell away from a vicious animal that is wanting to devour you.... That should help you realize the style of this movie, as well as the art which is a nice refreshing take when compared to all the other animated zombie movies.

it had a good plot with a good way to show you just how the situation became so extreme and why the situation in "train to busan" could be explained as to why it was that way....

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Disappointment
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020

Where do I even start? Such a sexist film. The female character misses her boyfriend who tried to pimp her out earlier in the film. She lacks any agency in the film. She sort of follows people around and cries the entire time. Sure, all of the characters are awful people (thanks to the nonsensical "twist" ending), but our heroine is the worst offender. What's her character arc? What changes does she go through? You can tell that this film was made by a man who does not understand the female perspective in the slightest. Train to Busan has similar male-centric issues, but had enough going right where they could be overlooked. This film is just annoying and terribly disappointing.

Are we really supposed to believe that her original pimp would go through the zombie apocalypse to find her and rape her? Someone who doesn't value her as a human wouldn't try and save her at those costs. It's soo unbelievable and frustrating. The one who gets a redemption arc is the whiny, *sshole boyfriend.

There are some good scenes, but those are early on and you don't feel any more for the characters than you do at the start. The film doesn't really land its societal commentary either. It just feels like the creator had an idea and never stopped to think it over.

5.0 out of 5 stars More original the Train to Busan
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
Most people watched Train to Busan before watching Seoul Station and ended up thinking less of Seoul Station. I swapped it, and watched SS first, and I ended up thinking less of the highly rated TTB. Although both share the same universe, they are sufficiently different in genre to make them standalone works. It would be wrong to watch one ONLY because you wanted to see more of the other, otherwise you’d likely be disappointed. SS is more of an entertainment horror with not unwelcome political undertones of poverty issues where the director had more creative input. It has several shining moments where the director deftly cartwheels over the fine line of dilemma and irony. The animation and sound were very respectable. TTB was more of a suspense horror where the marketing team heavily edited it to fit the prototypical Korean action movie profile that necessarily involves an innocent little girl with some badass dudes and a scene that makes you cry; it’s a good formula, but having already watched loads of Korean action movies, it’s growing old on me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contains Spoliers.A awesome animated prequel to live action phenonemon Train To Busan.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 11, 2017

This was a truly excellent effort at telling the story set before the phenomenal Train To Busan and though it cannot quite match the live action movie's brutal and quick moving plot or brilliant characters it does have a more slower build up to the mayhem with beautiful animation,more emotion and two real gut punches of shocks near the films climax.
A homeless old man dies from a strange illness but does not stay dead for long reanimating as a fast moving zombie who infects many in a short space of time(including his heartbroken younger brother)which begins a quick moving zombie outbreak.Caught up in this are a runaway young woman,her boyfriend,another homless guy and the young woman's father(well sort of but talk about that soon)who either team up or are separated to face this increasingly growing nightmare head on as the zombie horde grows by every minute.
As I said Seoul Station takes a bit longer than Train To Busan to get into the outbreak(mainly because this is where the outbreak begins)and focuses on the struggle of homeless people especially the heartbroken brother of the infected man very sadly breaks down first when he tries to find some helpers to cure his brother(and medicine),then when he realises he has died and then to his surprise(before terror)finds him alive but eating someone(and then horribly gets eaten himself),we then get into the rest of the plot with the four main characters as the young woman after witnessing the outbreak as it starts teams up with a homeless man whilst her estranged boyfriend(who tries to pimp her out at the movie's start)and her father try to fight their way through the now infected city to reach her.
Both stories so to speak are a bit different with the woman/homeless guy scenes being very scary and quite upsetting as they realise all hope is lost whilst the boyfriend and her father scenes though scary too are more light hearted and action packed with more laughs involved.
The voice cast are all superb especially the woman,father and homeless man with the standout moments being in a tunnel where both the lady and homeless guy break down in floods of tears at everything going wrong plus the last sequence which has some barnstorming acting by the woman,father and boyfriend which was shocking and chilling in equal measure.
The best moment has to go to that final sequence just mentioned which to start with sees the trio of woman,her father and her boyfriend happily reunited but in a shocker of a twist the father turns out to be her nasty pimp who all the time pretended to be her father(her real father is mentioned),after a brief tussle he murders her boyfriend before chasing the woman down in a deathly quiet few minutes with just him trying to find her(those scenes plus others in places like dark alleys bring back memories of both Resident Evil 2 and 3 video games)before he finally tracks her down and after trying to assault her he gets a almighty shock(the other huge one in the movie)when he finds out she was bitten at some point before hand and dies on the bed but reanimates and gets her ultimate revenge on him and eats him in a jaw dropping climax.
Other great scenes include the first zombie(old homeless man),a Train To Busan type horde in the underground station chasing the woman and others,the chilling police station scene(another similar moment to the Resident games),the sequence in the apartment with the boyfriend and pretend father running from a few zombies,the scenes towards the end with a huge group of non infected facing off with the army,the scene after with a brave guy who saves the woman but falls to a grisly death to the zombies below,the emotional scenes before the outbreak with the woman and her boyfriend and the homeless brothers,the bf and pretend father trying to get to his car whilst battling the fast paced monsters and the very upsetting the homeless man dies after trying to prove that his country had done nothing for him and other people.
This may not match the sheer terror and utter carnage of Train To Busan but it does its own thing with a slow building and emotional story before it erupts into some chilling vicious action sequences with plenty of fast moving dead heads plus has some corking characters,light hearted moments,not one but two epic twists,luscious animation and effects,upsetting deaths,wonderful voice work and homages to other zombie movies/tv(mainly World War Z,Rec,28 Days Later,Resi Evil,Z Nation and of course Train To Busan)all this adds up to the best animated zombie movie ever(plus one of the best looking animations period)and is a superb set up to a bigger and more brutal tale to follow.

Reviewed in Germany on April 1, 2017

... könnte eine Standard-Frage in jedem Zombie-Film sein. Allerdings ist das Etikett "Zombie-Film" für "Seoul Station" schon etwas vereinfachend. In Zeiten von  The Walking Dead - Staffel 1-6 Box - Uncut [Blu-ray ] weiß man, dass die apokalyptische Vorstellung, nahezu alle Menschen könnten sich in beißende Umtote verwandeln, die alles und jeden angreifen und auffressen wollen, häufig dazu genutzt wird, um Fragen nach dem Zustand einer Gesellschaft, des menschlichen Zusammenlebens und den (moralischen) Wertvorstellungen zu verhandeln. So geschieht es auch in "Seoul Station". Die Protagonisten, mit denen der Zuschauer das Geschehen erlebt, sind Menschen am Rande der Gesellschaft: ein Obdachloser, der am Bahnhof übernachtet, eine junge Frau, die von zuhause weggelaufen ist und sich prostituiert, und Menschen die mit diesen Personen direkt verbunden sind (z.B. der Freund des Mädchens und ihr "Vater"). Die Vertreter der Staatsmacht wirken entweder überfordert (Polizei) oder verhalten sich nahezu menschenverachtend (Soldaten), indem Unschuldige aus Sicherheitsgründen geopfert werden. Die Handlung folgt durchaus Genre-typischen dramaturgischen Elementen: am Anfang ist nur eine Person verletzt, dann verwandeln sich immer mehr, schließlich scheint die ganze Stadt infiziert und jeder kämpft ums Überleben, neue Koalitionen bilden sich, Menschen opfern sich oder werden rücksichtslos geopfert. Interessant wird die Geschichte durch die Kritik an sozialer Ungerechtigkeit und dem Mangel an Solidarität unter den Menschen.

Der Regisseur Yeon Sang-ho hat bereits in seinem Anime zuvor ( The King of Pigs - limited Collector's Edition (OmU) [Limited Edition ]) die Klassengesellschaft mit ihrer sozialen Hackordnung und die daraus resultierende Gewalt kritisiert, die ein Klima hervorruft, wo jeder zuerst an sich selbst denkt und Zwischenmenschlichkeit auf Bedürfnisbefriedigung reduziert wird. Während "King of Pigs" eine Schulgeschichte und die Folgen bis ins Erwachsenenalter schildert, erzählt "Seoul Station" genau von diesem Erwachsenenalter, lässt aber die Gewalt durch eine Zombie-Epidemie hervorbrechen. Bezeichnenderweise kommt es überhaupt erst dadurch zur Epidemie, weil dem ersten Verletzten - einem Obdachlosen - mehrmals Hilfeleistung verweigert wird. Dieses Misstrauen und die soziale Kälte setzen sich fort: Als z.B. in der Anfangsphase der Infektionen einige Menschen in eine Polizeiwache fliehen, werden sie dort zurückgewiesen, weil es sich um Obdachlose handelt. Noch später, als wenige Gesunde Schutz in einer Zelle dieser Polizeiwache suchen, hat der dort mit eingeschlossene Polizist mehr Angst vor den Obdachlosen als vor den Zombies außerhalb. Als Zuschauer sollte man sich allerdings von vornherein darauf einstellen, dass diese dystopische und deprimierende Grundstimmung den ganzen Film durchzieht. Jede Rettung ist nur vorläufig.

"Seoul Station" erzählt als spannender Animationsfilm, eine - mit Ausnahme der Tatsache, dass Menschen sich in Zombies verwandeln - realistische Geschichte, die durchaus auch als Realfilm funktionieren würde. So bildet der mehr oder weniger gleichzeitig spielende Realfilm  Train to Busan [Blu-ray ] eine direkte Verknüpfung: die gleiche Zombie-Epidemie, aber mit einem Zug wird über die längste Zeit ein anderer, geschlossener Schauplatz geboten, der verbindende Ort ist der Bahnhof von Seoul als Infektionsbeginn. Beide Filme zeichnet eine sehr klare Sozialkritik an einer egoistischen, gewaltbereiten Gesellschaft aus, die sich bei aller Spannung viel Zeit für menschliche Schicksale und Emotionen nimmt. Die Anime-Zeichnungen sind eher einfach, aber durchaus effektiv und man fiebert mit den Charakteren nicht weniger als in einem Realfilm mit.

Although a later release, this is the prequel for the brilliant film Train To Busan. Although I am not generally a big fan of subtitled films, I loved that one so I wanted to see this too. It's an excellent companion to the main story, it's beautifully animated, dark and moving. It works fine as a stand alone piece, but is definitely enhanced when you know the main film.

An animated precursor to the events of the thoroughly entertaining South Korean Zombie movie ‘Train to Busan”. Set the previous day to the live-action movie but sharing no similarities with those characters, the plot focuses heavily on social critique of Seoul's social outcasts, particularly the homeless who roam around Seoul Station as they are shown to be the spreaders of the ‘virus’ due to neglect and stigma from members of the public towards them. The movie has quite a dark atmosphere overall and the brilliant animation style suits it perfectly showing the grittier and grimey parts of Seoul. There are some very well done sequences of suspense and edge-of-your-seat moments as the infected chase and trap would-be survivors and sometimes with bloody endings, but nothing graphic at all. It's more serious and darker in tone compared to the live-action follow-up and the plot hits you with an unexpectedly sinister plot twist towards the conclusion of the movie to deepen the downbeat no-hope pattern the plot followed. I got no problems recommending this one to those with or without an interest in animation. It’s solidly put together, offers something a bit more substantial and memorable compared to a lot of zombie movies but still provides enough thrills and excitement to entertain in amongst its moments of gloom and despair.

Initially I was disappointed that the UK blu-ray release of 'Train to Busan' featured only a 5 minute sneak-peak of 'Seoul Station' and not the whole feature, but after seeing its quality its worthy of a stand-alone release. Looks fantastic in HD too!
