Your Next Viewing: TRAIN TO BUSAN PRESENTS: PENINSULA

Ah, zombies. A staple of any horror fans diet. The fun thing about zombies is the range: they can be slow and steady, fast and violent, but no matter the kind of zombie, they are always entertaining. Our friends at Well Go USA gifted me with a copy of Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula before its official release and it is a much welcome addition to my zombie movie collection. What’s that? You haven’t seen Train to Busan? No worries. Although Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula is marketed as a sequel and references the zombie outbreak that began in the first film, there are no mentions of the previous films characters; it is actually considered to be a stand alone film. Taking place four years after the zombie virus has spread throughout South Korea, Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula follows people in Hong Kong as they try to survive while […]

Yeon Sang-ho’s sprawling hit zombie franchise, Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula, was a fashionable and entertaining road thriller in the action horror millieu following his 2016 predecessors, Train To Busan and Seoul Station.

PENINSULA Review: Starring Gang Dong-Won, Yeon Sang-Ho’s Zombie Franchise Reassures With A Pulsating Sequel

Lee B. Golden III

2020 seems to be the year for optimism when it comes to sequels (see Bad Boys For Life and The Debt Collectors). Not all movie fans have a flexible take on a particular kind of story, and directors like Yeon Sang-ho have invariably made note of this fact, and so went the sounds of many a mind blown when news of a sequel to his 2016 film, Train To Busan, was well under way. Enter Peninsula, the latest chapter in Yeon’s sprawling zombie saga that dives right into the ensuing collapse of Korea, introducing Marine Captain Jung-seok (Gang Dong-won), whose own life is about to take a truly dark turn as he attempts to join the exile with his family via naval ship. Chaos suddenly erupts on the ship, forcing a detour from Japan to Hong Kong, where for the next four years, Jung-seok and brother-in-law Chul-min (Kim Do-yoon) are […]

Yeon Sang-ho’s Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula will be heading to 150 theatrical screens throughout North America beginning August 7, in a major deal for Well Go USA, which also gives AMC’s Shudder exclusive streaming rights in early 2021. “Peninsula is one of the most anticipated horror movie sequels of the last decade and exactly the kind of film Shudder members are hungry for,” said Craig Engler, Shudder’s general manager.

Lee B. Golden III

Yeon Sang-ho’s Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula still doesn’t have a release date, but the dystopian sequel to his 2016 zombie horror hit, Train To Busan, looks exciting as ever as it heads toward a virtual Cannes premiere this summer. Bearing in mind, there are also the prospects of a re-release of an extended version of Train To Busan in select territories around the world to help whet the appetite until Peninsula arrives. In the meantime, Well Go USA debuted an official look at a very new trailer that fires on all cylinders. Tones here give off hints of part heist flick, part survival actioner, part horror, and part road adventure, and it feels as amazing as it looks! Four years after South Korea’s total decimation in TRAIN TO BUSAN, the zombie thriller that captivated audiences worldwide, acclaimed director Yeon Sang-ho brings us PENINSULA, the next nail-biting chapter in his […]

TRAIN TO BUSAN PRESENTS: PENINSULA, As Gang Dong-Won Battles In The Badlands In The First Epic Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

We’re living in some pretty damn surreal times right now, so it’s understandable to be perplexed about the current state of things, especially cinema. Well Go USA’s arrival on Wednesday evening with an official trailer for Yeon Sang-ho’s Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula, comes a moment that seems almost providential as it is coincidental, but don’t read to much into it. I’m not really into stirring another facetious conspiracy theory, especially since we’re not fighting zombies. Four years after South Korea’s total decimation in TRAIN TO BUSAN, the zombie thriller that captivated audiences worldwide, acclaimed director Yeon Sang-ho brings us PENINSULA, the next nail-biting chapter in his post-apocalyptic world. Jung-seok, a soldier who previously escaped the diseased wasteland, relives the horror when assigned to a covert operation with two simple objectives: retrieve and survive. When his team unexpectedly stumbles upon survivors, their lives will depend on whether the best—or worst—of […]
