South Korean zombie movie Train To Busan is being remade as Last Train To New York and fans are not pleased.

The original movie, about passengers on a train who are caught up in a zombie apocalypse, smashed records at the box office in 2016 and its director, Yeon Sang-ho, went on to make a standalone sequel, Peninsula, last year.
