Watched the animated film, “The Fake” by Yeon Sang Ho (Train to Busan) last night. A bleak story about an abusive man discovering a plot by religious leaders to scam a village. Very dark stuff.

    Interesting! I hope Yeon is not going to abandon animation films. Have you seen “Seoul Station?”
    His next film “Psychokinesis” a comedy (surprise) has a star studded cast. Can’t wait.

      I haven’t watched “Seoul Station” yet. I have it ready to watch someday though. I’ve read it’s very much like his other animated works meaning nihilistically dark and unforgiving with highly flawed anti-heroes.

      I hope he gets to keep making animated films as well. He has a distinct style that’s different from most and his films could use the larger budget. However, Korean animated films with a few exceptions, have never done well in Korea.

      I’m interested in what kind of film “Psychokinesis” will be. He only directed “Train to Busan,” he didn’t write it. However, he wrote the script for “Psychokinesis.” I’m curious if it will retain the edge of his animated film scripts or not.
