10 Recent Horror Movies That Were Sent Out To Die

10. Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula

Snowpiercer was praised for its fast-paced action and handling themes of class rebellion. However, Train to Busan arguably did it better. Not only is the commentary less ham-fisted, the action sequences are masterfully choreographed. Because zombie films have been saturated to death (no pun intended) in recent years, it was delightful to see Train to Busan deliver such a fresh take on the subgenre.

Now, no matter how good a horror film is, there's often a noticeable dip in quality when it comes to sequels. It happened with The Exorcist, it happened with The Omen, it even happened with Birdemic.

However since Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula had the same writer and director as the original, Sang-ho Yeon, it felt like the sequel couldn't be in safer hands.

But upon watching this follow-up, it's obvious Yeon used all his best ideas in its predecessor. Peninsula has so much unnecessary CGI, distracting lens flares, and cheesy slow-motion, it feels like the acclaimed director was trying to tap into his inner Michael Bay. If you were expecting a character-driven drama in the same vein as the first movie, look elsewhere.
