SEOUL STATION

Set at the outset of the epidemic that prompted so much flesh-chomping further down the line, it follows the attempts of former sex worker Hye-sun to reunite with her callow boyfriend Ki-woong before either of them get bitten. A full-on lockdown imposed by the Seoul authorities, seemingly unable or unwilling to distinguish between man or monster, complicates matters. SEOUL STATION is notably downbeat, cast in muted colors and focusing on those souls trapped in life’s margins.
