"Train to Busan" does a great job at depicting how people deal with death during unthinkable times. When your loved one is infected and your only option is to perish with them or kill them so that you (and others) can survive, what would you do?

Train to Busan is arguably the best zombie apocalypse movie of all-time. The subgenre finds in Yeon Sang-ho's mind-blowing flick the masterpiece it deserves. I can't find a single flaw. It left me emotionally drained.
