Cannibalistic undead collide with strident social criticism in this powerful and engrossing zombie feature (the prequel to the blockbusting Train to Busan, which we screen on Sat 4 March at 22:00) from one of South Korea's most acclaimed animators.

Adolescent Hae-sun has run away to Seoul, to live with her boyfriend. But when he tries to force Hae-sun into prostitution, she breaks up with him and takes off into the night. Waiting for a train home, she feels relieved to have escaped but when one of the homeless men who sleep in the station begins displaying strange symptoms, Hae-sun finds herself caught in the middle of a terrifying viral outbreak that soon spreads throughout the city.

A tale of class struggle and inequity told through the lens of a zombie thriller, the film's expressive animation and voice cast bring to life its grisly details and poignant emotion equally. Compelling and genuinely scary, Seoul Station is a unique look at modern Korean society.
