So I figured this one was coming so I actually made my GIFset before posting this time. LOL

Train to Busan + Yellow

No idea why the director chose to use so much yellow in this film, but it's literally everywhere- warning pylons, the wallpaper in Su-an's room and even the furnishings in Seok-woo's apartment (who has a bright yellow sofa ever). Maybe it's a signal for "safe" or "normal"? 

I'm not usually a big horror fan, but this movie isn't actually gory, just TENSE AF. The social commentary on classism and the fallibility of capitalism when it comes to preserving society is even more strikingly relevant now. Sang-Hwa, the rough, working class hero, leads the iconic charge through train cars full of zombies only protected by his adhoc yellow tape armguards.

As for songs, I thought of Yellow Submarine by The Beatles and Coldplay, of course. Plus Daylight by Taylor Swift.

ETA: I would be remiss not to link this amazing Uncle Iroh fanart too!

Horror movies aren't usually my style, but it sounds like I might need to see Train to Busan!

Oh me either! But if you liked A Quiet Place or World War Z this one is about the same in terms of dread/fear being the main horrifying thing, and not gory grossness.
