)\u00a0 \u00a0 Props for the ending which is foreshadowed but is still a surprise and sets up a potential sequel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, I enjoyed TRAIN 8.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re a zombie fan, you should give it a look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: inherit;
