A box-office smash in its native land, South Korean zombie flick Train To Busan is heading this way, gurning furiously and looking to chew through at least one of your limbs. It’s a cult horror in the making, so we’re happy to share a taste of what it has in store, as well as a look at its new poster. Watch it below.

As you can tell, these zombies are fast. Lightening fast. Imagine Usain Bolt with an unquenchable craving for human flesh and really poor circulation. That fast.

In itself, the premise of Yeon Sang-ho’s Cannes-acclaimed horror won't revolutionise the genre but it does have a satirical edge and real storytelling flair. A businessman (Gong Yoo) is waiting to depart Seoul station for Busan by KTX train with his estranger daughter (Kim Soo-Ahn) when a girl, infected with the zombie virus, clambers aboard.

Cue a desperate struggle to survive in the face of the great undead and some peppery, George Romero-esque commentary about inequality in modern-day Korea.

Look out for Train To Busan in UK cinemas on 28 October.
