Netflix has just added two of the most exciting zombie thrillers of the past decade to its library, offering horror fans an adrenaline-pumping binge session.
The first is the critically acclaimed Train to Busan, a 2016 Korean zombie film that has gained a near-perfect 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is widely considered one of the greatest zombie movies ever made.
Set aboard a speeding train, Train to Busan follows a group of passengers as they struggle to survive a viral outbreak turning people into vicious zombies. With heart-pounding action and deep emotional stakes, this film captivated audiences worldwide and has remained a fan favorite ever since.
As a bonus, Netflix has also added the sequel, Peninsula (2020). While it may not be as universally adored as its predecessor, Peninsula offers the same high-energy thrills and is a worthy follow-up for fans looking to dive back into the world of undead chaos.
For fans craving more, an English-language remake, The Last Train to New York, was announced a few years ago but has faced delays. The future of this remake remains uncertain for now.
These films are part of a stellar lineup Netflix introduced on May 1, 2025, which includes other beloved titles like Dawn of the Dead, Twilight, and Ocean’s Eleven. So, if you’re a fan of high-stakes zombie horror, Train to Busan and Peninsula are must-watch additions to your Netflix queue.
