-
1. Exhuma
Korean Movie - 2024
I loved everything about this movie, every minute is worth the watch
-
2. I Saw The Devil
Korean Movie - 2010
A good mix of action and horror. The end makes you wish for horrible things you never thought you would :D
-
3. Gwimun
Korean Movie - 2021
A quite underrated movie. The story leaves a lot of open gaps in regards to characters but overall it's quite good. One particular death scene was hilarious and SO bad, you'll know it once you see it
-
4. A Tale of Two Sisters
Korean Movie - 2003
Not a movie to skip when watching Korean Horror. Brilliant storytelling with an absolutely disturbing story. Probably needs a second watch to fully understand the story
-
5. The Wailing
Korean Movie - 2016
The movie is good and quite gory, but near the end I got very confused as to what exactly the characters' true intentions were
-
6. The Gangster, The Cop and The Devil
Korean Movie - 2019
interesting action movie, not too much horror but good nontheless
-
7. Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum
Korean Movie - 2018
This movie woud've been rated higher if the final act just wasn't so insanely desperate. If the end was more realistic and not as rushed I would've loved it, the plot and half found-footage half normal style was really well-made
-
8. Three... Extremes
Hong Kong Movie - 2004
the comedic scenes in the korean part felt really out of place given the situation the characters are in. Also contains lots of gore. The end was satisfying, though
-
9. Memories of Murder
Korean Movie - 2003
Just bad. I knew about the original m*rder case so I had quite high expectations, but the police men's actions and behavior towards the victims and suspects was so disrespectful and ruined the movie for me
