An action horror which has just dropped on Netflix has sent viewers into a frenzy.

I think Netflix's dystopian thriller which was outrageously cancelled after three seasons was more than enough spine-chilling content for me, but if you're a horror fanatic and have been looking for a 'masterpiece' to keep you up at night with fresh nightmares, then the streaming service has you covered.

The movie may've been released back in 2016, but it has just come onto Netflix US and it's causing quite the stir amongst viewers.

Prepare to feel the hairs on your arms stand up on edge:

Plot and cast

The 2016 release stars the likes of Guardian: The Lonely and Great God's Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-Mi (Sleep), Ma Dong-seok (Badland Hunters) and Kim Su-an (Project Silence).

Directed by Yeon Sang-ho (Peninsula), the film was written Park Joo-suk (Project Silence) and produced by Lee Dong-ha (Love Returns).

The movie sees a zombie virus break out in South Korea and is mostly set on a train from Seoul to Busan - with all passengers forced to fight to survive the journey. Onboard are father Seok-woo (Yoo) and his estranged daughter Su-an (Su-an), Sang-hwa (Dong-seok) and his pregnant wife Seong-kyeong (Yu-mi), and high school baseball team player Yong-gyuk with his cheerleader girlfriend Jin-hee.

Your face when you realise you can watch it on Netflix US.

Initial release and response

The film premiered on 13 May 2016 at Cannes Film Festival before going on to release on 20 July 2016 in South Korea.

According to investor-distributor Next Entertainment World (NEW), the film was made for $8.5 million, Screen Daily reports, and it went on to make $83 million at the box office.

The movie has an impressive Rotten Tomatoes' audience score of 85 percent and an officially fresh tomatometer score of 95 percent.

And it's since found its way onto Netflix and horror fanatics are lapping it up.

Get ready zombie lovers.
