Train to Busan came out in 2016 and took the horror community by storm, releasing to pretty much universal acclaim and big box office. A sequel was inevitable, and the full trailer for it debuted this afternoon. Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula is again directed by Yeon Sang-ho and fast-forwards the action four years to show the devastation in Korea. A young soldier who initially escaped the events four years earlier now has to return to find and assist survivors. The problem with that is the number of zombies he will have to go through to do it. Watch the trailer for Train to Busan: Peninsula below.

Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula Synopsis

"When the zombie outbreak swept the entire nation, Jung-seok (Gang Dong-won) barely escaped South Korea alive. While living a life of despair in Hong Kong, he receives an enticing offer to return to the quarantined peninsula. His mission is to retrieve an abandoned truck in the middle of Seoul within a time limit and escape the peninsula silently. But his operation goes haywire when a mysterious militia known as Unit 631 ambushes Jung-seok's small team, as well as even more vicious hordes of zombies. In his most desperate moment, Min-jung's (Lee Jung-hyun) family saves him, and he plans one last chance to escape the peninsula once and for all. The prodigal son, the Survivor and the Deranged. Their violent struggle for survival begins!"

Man, that looks spectacular. Hopefully, this film has the same type of strong character work as the original. While the characters started making dumb decisions towards the end of Train to Busan, no one could argue that they weren't fully realized characters and not just throw away zombie food. It looks like zombies won't be the only threat being faced here either, a hallmark of post-apocalyptic films. In Sang-ho's hands, I trust that it will be more interesting than other paint by numbers storytelling, though.

Train to Busan: Peninsula just jumped way up on my list of most anticipated films of 2020 list, which shortens by the day anyway, with most movies being moved to 2021. It will release later this year.
