Train to Busan
When a Korean high-speed commuter train is overrun by zombies, a selfish businessman (Gong Yoo), his guileless daughter (Kim Su-an), and a brawny laborer (Ma Dong-seok) must work together to save everyone onboard.
Train to Busan is South Korea's first home-grown zombie offering and has already achieved local box office success, taking a record $5.76m (£4.33m) on its opening day in July.
The movie starts off with an innocent enough train journey, until a viral outbreak outside starts to infect passengers on board, turning them into the undead. The Korean government eventually declares a state of emergency and martial law.
What is Zombie wiseGEEK
In popular culture, zombies are people who have died and been reanimated as mindless, nearly invulnerable monsters that band together and attack the living. They are also known as "the living dead," "the walking dead," or "the undead."
Though many people are familiar with zombies from horror movies, TV shows, and video games, their history dates back hundreds of years, to stories in Haitian Voodoo folklore. In the Haitian culture, there are hundreds of stories of people dying and being brought back to life by a witch doctor; the reanimated person has no awareness of who he used to be, though he is not dangerous to others.
Zombies did not gain a strong presence in American popular culture, however, until the 1968 release of George A. Romero's classic horror film, The Night of the Living Dead. The film featured slow-moving, violent, cannibalistic zombies, and many critics believe that it sparked a new era in horror film-making. Romero has directed numerous sequels to the film, all using zombies to represent a critique of society.

Man, 61, walks thirty five miles to work every day to support his sick wife
By David Mccormack For Dailymail.com
A 61-year-old janitor has revealed how he walks 35 miles to his night shift job so he can afford to provide for his sick wife.
Steven Simoff works at the Lakeside Casino in Osceola, Iowa, but lives in Davis City, more than six hours on foot down the bleak Interstate Highway 35.
In order to get to work for his 11pm shift he leaves his home at 3.30pm and walks alongside four lanes of thundering traffic in sun, rain, wind or snow.
Money has been tight since Renee suffered a stroke nine years ago. She has also had a couple of heart attacks.
Earning $9.07 an hour in his casino job, Simoff says his family can't afford to live closer to work because their rent in Davis City is just $400 per month.
'First of all, when you got a family, and you've got a job, you've got to be able to support your family. And you've got to keep your job — the most two important things I can think of,' he told the Des Moines Register.
Simoff's daily trek beats that undertaken by James Robertson, 56, from Detroit who received a $350,000 from a GoFundMe campaign and a new Ford Taurus after his plight received national media attention.
Although Simoff's journey is longer, he told the Register that he can typically catch a lift three out of five days.
He works Thursday-to-Tuesday and says that Sundays are typically the worst for trying to catch a lift.
His frugal approach has its drawbacks, however - he has to buy a new pair of shoes every two months.
