Most dedicated debt collector ever?

The beginning and middle of this movie were decent. Not perfect by any means though.The zombies were a bit strange to me. They seemed robotic. Meandering around and then suddenly swiveling their heads to lock onto people that they just happen to know are there. Also, the lunging onto people and then the other zombies completely ignoring the freshly downed human flesh didn't seem realistic to me. Is there a one zombie per person rule I should know about? The worst part of the movie though, and least believable part, was the dude pretending to be the father the entire movie and then being revealed as some person trying to collect a debt. Are you serious? The fucking zombie apocalypse breaks out and you are that determined to wade through a city of the undead and punch policemen to find a girl that owes you money? Hahaha.Overall, I find that last part of the movie to not only detract from the quality of the movie but also add some comedy that wasn't there before the reveal.Watch Train To Busan if you want a really well done foreign zombie flick and leave this one for the bottom of the barrel.

brutal mix of zombies and social commentary

After watching the South Korean zombie thrillride Train to Busan, I looked up the director, Sang-ho Yeon, and learned that his early career consisted not of live-action thrillers but of animated dramas that took on serious issues. I then watched Seoul Station, which is an animated feature about the same zompocalypse that seems to be a bridge between those early films (which I still haven't seen) and Busan, mixing zombie action with a serious message about the plight of the homeless.Apparently made before Busan but not given wide release until that movie's success, Seoul Station begins with an injured homeless person staggering through the city. A homeless friend can't get help from the harsh world, the homeless guy turns into a zombie, and all hell breaks lose.The action is constant and the characters are interesting if not generally likable. It's got some interesting twists and takes a dim view of the police. The animation is fine and possibly motion-captured but not much of it is memorable.It's really a good movie, and at some point I will check out Yeon's other animated films. I'd recommend it.
