‘Peninsula’ is the sequel to ‘Train to Busan’, a new large-scale zombie film that now arrives in Spain after its premiere at Sitges 2020 and become a huge success when it premiered, with opening records and a gross of around € 28 million in South Korea, where it was the No. 3 movie of 2020, with other significant figures in other Asian markets, starting from a very well-stretched $ 16 million budget.
It is significant that its starting point is not much different from Zack Snyder’s ‘Army of the Dead’, that is, a robbery or a foray into the quarantine zone full of zombies. Something that, like Snyder’s, seems like an extension of the opening scene of ‘The Land of the Living Dead’ (Land of the Dead, 2005), with which it has not only plot but visual similarities.
