GHOST TRAIN MOVIE REVIEW
Just when you thought it was safe to use public transportation, here comes Ghost Train, a South Korean horror anthology film about a cursed subway station. Da-kyung (Joo Hyun-young) calls herself the Horror Queen of YouTube, and hosts a once popular channel about ghost sightings and other paranormal events. Desperate to boost her viewership numbers, she investigates rumors about Gwanglim Station, a subway station with a sinister past, and a bad reputation for disappearing commuters. At first, the unnamed Station Master (Jeon Bae-soo) is reluctant to be interviewed but eventually Da-kyung persuades him to tell her a series of spooky tales that took place at the station. With each video she posts, Da-kyung’s views and popularity increase, but not everyone is happy that she is revealing the troubling secrets of Gwanglim Station. Our turnstile hopping reviewers Ian, Lewayne, and Marco eagerly jumped aboard this midnight train to K-horror, but did they enjoy the ride? Listen and find out!
DIRECTED BY: Tak Se-woong
STARRING: Joo Hyun-young, Jeon Bae-soo, Choi Bo-min, Kim Ji-in
YOUR REVIEWERS
Marco Noyola (Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Audio Editor)
By day, Marco is a mild-mannered office worker, but by night he is a mild-mannered movie watcher. He does other mild-mannered stuff too.
“I’m not a film critic. I just play one on the Internet.”
Ian Butcher (Highly Suspect Reviews, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Moving all around the country growing up meant that there was only one constant in Ian’s life, the video store. Thus began a lifelong obsession with all things celluloid. While spending most of his origin story becoming a human IMDB, Ian came across a certain site called Spill.com, This discovery, combined with a need to move away from the pacific northwest and never look back, led Ian to drop out of film school and move to Austin. A general man about town, you can usually find Ian in a hole in the wall bar in east Austin, running around town with a camera pretending to be something of a filmmaker, or talking about all things movies here on OneOfUs.net and DoubleToasted.com.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
