First photos from the TRAIN TO BUSAN follow-up film, PENINSULA
Korean director Yeon Sang-ho doesn’t think it’s quite right to call Peninsula “an official sequel” to his zombie thriller Train To Busan, which became an international hit in 2016.
“It takes place four years after Train To Busan, in the same universe, but it doesn’t continue the story and has different characters,” says the filmmaker. “Government authority has been decimated after the zombie outbreak in Korea, and there is nothing left except the geographical traits of the location – which is why the film is called Peninsula.”
The follow-up stars Gang Dong-won, who has featured in local hits such as 1987: When The Day Comes, as Jung-seok, a former soldier who manages to escape from the Korean peninsula – a zombie-infested wasteland turned into a ghetto by other nations trying to stop the spread of the virus.
Sent back with a crew on a mission to retrieve something, he goes in through the port of Incheon to reach Seoul and comes under attack, discovering there are more non-infected survivors left on the peninsula.
Actress Lee Jung-hyun (The Battleship Island) plays one of the survivors, alongside child actress Lee Re – whom Yeon thinks will become “more [popular] than Ma Dong-seok [aka Don Lee] in Train To Busan”.
Other cast include Kwon Hae-hyo, who was a voice actor in Yeon’s award-winning 2013 animation The Fake; Kim Min-jae, who appeared in his 2018 live-action film Psychokinesis; indie filmmaker and actor Koo Kyo-hwan (Maggie); and child actress Lee Ye Won.
Several Train To Busan alumni are working on Yeon’s $16m follow-up (almost twice the budget of the $8.5m original), among them cinematographer Lee Hyung-deok, visual effects supervisor Jung Hwang-su and art director Lee Mok-won.
“The scale of Peninsula can’t compare to Train To Busan, it makes it look like an independent film,” says Yeon. “Train To Busan was a high-concept film shot in narrow spaces whereas Peninsula has a much wider scope of movement.”

“Of course I never dreamt of anything like the new coronavirus,” he says. “But recently I have been learning news about the collective selfishness that you do see facets of in Train To Busan and in Peninsula, that brings about tragedy”

Watched this movie HOUSEWIFE on Shudder earlier today.
It was weird as fukk. Had some Lovecraftian aspects to it, some really striking visuals and lots of oddness.

Netflix’s ‘The Platform’ Is A Brutal Capitalist Horror Film For Precisely This Moment
The Platform, a high-concept, Spanish horror film on Netflix, would have caught my eye anyway. That kind of thing is just up my alley, and the same might be true for you as well, if you can stomach it.
As it turns out, as here in the US congress debates about how much money should be given to multibillion dollar corporations during the pandemic as opposed to how much goes to average citizens, The Platform is especially relevant for this exact moment in history.
The “high” concept being pitched here is quite literal, a jail that is a large, single room tower. There are two prisoners per windowless floor, and a giant, square hole in the middle where you can see dozens of floors of other prisoner pairs below you and above you.
Every day, a giant, hovering slab of stone comes down through the hole in the center of the cell (don’t ask, it just hovers). At the very top, the highest levels 1-10 or so, on top of the tablle is a gourmet feast. But as the table slides downward, it becomes leftovers (levels 10-50), then scraps (50-100), then nothing at all (100+). Each pair only has a minute or so to eat what they can before the table moves on.
