A Blood Pledge (2009)

Jong-yong Lee

Aside from certain aspects of the story, this movie isn't really worth checking. If you're no stranger to Asian horror then you've pretty much seen this movie already, especially if you're familiar with...

Cello (2005)

Woo-cheol Lee

You’ve seen one South Korean horror flick, you've seen'em all. This really is no different, even if it does try to add more story than its predecessors. Despite it all, once more details are revealed towards the...

Chaw

Awaiting Release

Korean

Jeong-won Shin

Mysterious, gruesome deaths plague a peaceful little village in the Jirisan National Park of South Korea. Among the victims is the granddaughter of a native of the village and a professional hunter. A recently relegated...

Chaw (2009)

Jeong-won Shin

Chaw turned out to be a disappointing creature feature to come out of South Korea. The movie is mostly just a comedy with minor horror and dramatic elements thrown in. Because of the constant shift in the tone of many of the...

Death Bell (2008)

Director Chang

The film starts off as a ghost flick, which turns into a semi-torture feature and ends up as a standard who-done-it slasher. It clearly suffers from an identity crises, but still kept me entertained from the start. Check...

G.P. 506 (2008)

Su-chang Kong

This was an interesting take on the zombie sub-genre that turns the usual mold into a thick character and story-driven mystery. Worth a check if you like a good story, but look elseware if you want some zombie action.

Hansel & Gretel (2008)

Pil-Sung Yim

This was a creative genre effort that blends little dark fairy-tale-like elements to keep things fresh and interesting, however, the film also suffered from slow-pacing, with many of the scenes lasting too long or weren...

Living Death (2009)

Yong-Joo Lee

Surprisingly good movie that should please fans of Asian Horror or those just looking for another take on possession. The flick offers an interesting premise and some fairly creepy scenes. Worth a check.

Memento Mori (1999)

Tae-Yong Kim, Kyu-Dong Min

A good movie with an excellent story. More drama through most of the film until towards the end when its horror aspect is revealed. A good watch if you're not easily bored and you're willing to sit through all the...

Memories of Murder (2003)

Joon-ho Bong

A very good South Korean crime/thriller that keeps you guessing from start to finish. Definitely worth a check if you're into Asian flicks or just starting up. Check this out!... NOW!

Phone

Pre-Production

English

Byung-ki Ahn

The original was about a reporter, who changes her phone number after getting threats, but by doing so it causes mysterious supernatural occurrences, and leads her to investigate the previous owners of the number.

Phone (2002)

Byeong-ki Ahn

A decent Korean horror film. Kept my interest and had its moments, but don't expect to get any good scares out of this. Worth a check if you're into Asian horror.

Say Yes (2001)

Sung-Hong Kim

Pretty cool Korean thriller in the vein of The Hitcher. I say if you enjoyed the 80s Hitcher movie that you'll enjoy this.

Sisily 2km (2004)

Jeong-won Shin

If you're looking for an entertaining Asian horror-comedy, then let this be it. Interesting characters and good humor. Definitely recommended.

Tell Me Something (1999)

Yoon-Hyun Chang

Compared to such films as Silence of the Lambs and Seven, but doesn't really live up. Though, it's a good film none-the-less. Check this movie out and pay attention to the many plot twists.

The Host (2006)

Joon-ho Bong

Finally a monster movie done right. Not focusing on scares or a completely ridiculous plot, the film is packed with drama, comedy, cool sequences and an awesome and original creature. Check this baby out.

The Quiet Family (1998)

Ji-woon Kim

A fun and simple dark comedy that works thanks to the talented director and cast of characters. Worth a check.

The Record (2001)

Kim Jong Seok

Pretty much a Korean remake of I Know What You Did Last Summer. Had its moments, but wasn't anything special. Don't bother with this.

The Red Shoes (2005)

Yong-gyun Kim

An above-average South Korean horror film that takes a predictable and unoriginal storyline to interesting new heights. With the use of bloody deaths and a somewhat fast pace, the movie should please fans lookin' to...

The Wig (2005)

Shin-yeon Won

If you can look past it's somewhat silly premise, you'll find that it's a surprisingly good and sometimes even creepy flick. Worth a check.

Thirst (2009)

Chan-wook Park

A good flick if you know what you're getting. This isn't your standard vampire tale, as writer/director Chan-wook Park gives us a film with many layers to it, and is more of a character driven drama than anything...

Voice (2005)

Ik-hwan Choe

Voice is a big step up from the last sequel in the Whispering Corridors series and succeeds brilliantly as a powerful and gripping drama. However, as it fails as a horror flick, the end result is pretty mediocre and...

Voices (2007)

Ki-hwan Oh

Loaded with a creative premise, lots of blood, and violent deaths, this proved to be a fun watch from the start. Although it doesn't offer much in terms of story, the delivery and overall interesting concept made up for...

Whispering Corridors (1998)

Ki-Hyung Park

A good story, but too slow and has a lack of good scares. Worth a check if you've seen the other Whispering Corridor films, or if you can get a hold of it cheap; otherwise don't bother.
