Now the walking dead are everywhere in pop culture, but Korea has always just missed with their cannibalistic undead output. Until now. In Yeon Sang-ho\u2019s second animated feature, Suk-gyu desperately looks for his teenage runaway daughter, finally getting a lead that she\u2019s sadly trapped in a life of forced prostitution. As he gets closer to finding her, the nearby Seoul Station begins having a bit of a zombie problem among its homeless population. An old man who died during the day is now chowing down on society\u2019s outcasts, and the infection is rapidly spreading. As the government works to seal off the area, it becomes a fight for survival with nowhere to go for the people running from the growing horde. A biting look at one of Korea\u2019s biggest social issues, Seoul Station is bleak, compelling, and political, and earns its place in the zombie pantheon.
