@iaani You do realize Parasite works the exact same way? The house is a vehicle for social commentary first, and a plot device second
@iaani It’s probably more of a taste thing. I like them both equally, but yes the set-up for this one is more out there and not as realistic as Parasite. Have you seen any of Jordan Peele’s work? His two films are also filled with social commentary, but they’re not trying to be realistic either.

The train felt like a vehicle for social commentary, it didn't feel like a story with commentary woven into it in a natural way. Rated this lower because I can't help but compare this to Bong Joon-ho's other work, so the bar is crazy high. By no means a bad movie.
