[Philip J. Fry]

I was entertained. While I didn't find it as engaging as Train to Busan (the father and daughter and the easy to root newlyweds help there), it retained the tension present throughout Busan. The zombies are everywhere and the sense of paranoia doesn't let up, even in the quieter moments... and then the last 10 or so minutes kick in. I found the twist of the "father" being actually the girl's pimp only going after some now useless money really effective and changed the dynamic of the film well, reinforcing Busan's "selfish and petty humans are the real monsters"... and then the girl turns into a zombie, kills the pimp and I'm a happy man.
