Train to Busan (Action/Horror)
This South Korean zombie flick follows a group of people fighting to survive against a horde of fast, blind, and aggressive zombies. The catch is that almost the entire movie takes place on a bullet train or the various stops it makes along the way. This setting alone would allow for the stale zombie genre to feel new and different since the setting itself would be far more confined. Given a lot of modern zombie games like Dead Island, Dead Rising, and Dying Light have opted for bigger and more spacious environments, moving our main setting to a train would allow for more tension. Plus, it solves the issue of players just running by the zombies and not finding them threatening in any manner.
Having to fight your way through the various stations and cars of the bullet train would certainly feel different than say a Resident Evil or Dead Rising game. Given the movie had a heavy emphasis on melee combat, this could be easily carried over to the game itself. Plus, the concept of zombies being blind and hunting by noise and scent alone would make for an interesting twist to the undead formula.
