I found this movie whilst I was looking for somewhere to watch Train to Busan. After being unable to find Train to Busan, I came back to Train of the Dead and decided why not? Asian horror is very versatile and it seemed like it would be a decent watch with so many views.
Yikes. Oh yikes. How I regret the last one hour, twenty eight minutes and twenty one seconds of my life. That's right. I even regret the twenty one seconds.
First of all, despite it's seeming connections and/or similarities to Train to Busan, without even having watched Train to Busan, I can very confidently state this is nothing to do with it nor does it even come close to Train to Busan's level of horror. This is crude in its performance and has a plot that could be guessed by a five year old.
First of all, around three quarters of the way through, the entire scenery becomes red and orange and yellow. It's almost impossible to actually see anything except the subtitles – which actually makes these scenes even more confusing. The editing is almost as thought they've super imposed the entire film section across just blood red film. It's sore on the eyes and very convoluted as to what's happening.
The acting. Some did very well, some did very bad. Some made their characters very believable people. Others made me just sigh and roll my eyes so hard I think I sprained a muscle or two in my eye.
The plot was basic and boring and if I say train of dead (ghosts), I'm pretty sure you could guess the entire plot and majority of what happens correctly.
The writing made me feel quite sick. I don't know much about Thailand and their attitude towards LGBT, etc. But one of their characters being a transvestite and being every single gay male stereotype you can possibly think of just isn't it. I almost turned it off countless times due to this one character being pretty offensive – at least to me as a gay male. People will find him funny, I thought it was trash.
Overall, I really regret this movie, I really just want to forget about it and I really recommend others don't even try. Find something else. It's worth the time to find something else.
