U/A: Action/Horror
Director: Yeon Sang-ho
Cast: Kang Dong-won, Lee Jung-hyun, Lee Re, Kwon Hae-hyo
Rating: 

This sophomore effort by Korean director Yeon Sang-ho may not seem as accomplished as his four-year-old cult hit "Train To Busan" but certainly manages to regurgitate some of the old familiar themes while lending it new teeth with some adrenaline-inducing action thrown in.

"Train to Busan" was definitely an impressive, much tighter and far more invigorating zombie thriller but even in comparison, this one doesn't quite fade into insignificance. In terms of influences, Peninsula is far more hybrid and therefore doesn't feel as cohesive or taut as Sang-ho's earlier effort.
