Must Watch Korean Horror Movies

Image
By Jaysleen



Other than dramas, there is another genre that I love from the Korean Entertainment Industry and that is Horror. They really know how to scare you. Some of the movies are such block busters that they have been remade in English and other languages. But none of them can come close to the terrifying effect that Koreans film makers could induce.

So here is a few movies which I thought were brilliantly made. 

Tale of Two Sisters :

Plot: 2 sisters return after psychological  treatment only to witness and experience strange happenings within the house. Has their step-mother got something to do with it or is it something else? Creepy, Scary and an unimaginable twist at the end.


Whispering Corridors (The series) :

Plot: A series of movies set in high school but does not have a continuous plot. Each of the movies have a different plot but every one of them can make your hair stand on end.
  • Whispering Corridors (1998)
  • Memento Mori (1999)
  • Wishing Stairs (2003)
  • Voice (2005)
  • A Blood Pledge (2009)
One of the few series where the sequels were just as good as the original.

Phone :  Staring the beautiful Han Ji Wan.

Plot : After getting a few threatening calls for pursing a story on pedophilia, she changes her phone only to get the fright of her life when she answers the phone. This makes you think twice about buying a second hand phone.

Red Shoes


Plot : When I was watching this I dint really get freaked out. There were a few instances I got startled but nothing that causes goose bumps. But a must watch if you want a refreshing plot. Nothing Cliche about this movie. A woman gets a pair of red shoes and strange things start happening to her and around her. My warning : Don't pick up a pair of shoes that you find lying around even if they are gorgeous.

Gu Family Book - Season 2 Questions Answered

By Jaysleen
The Finale of the hit KDrama, The Gu Family Book or Kang Chi, The Beginning left lot of things unanswered. I for one was fuming and you can see my review of the Gu Family book Here.   Incase you want to know the short version of my rant, its that I have never felt this unsatisfied and betrayed by any drama till date.  Anyhow, though I was not able to find the source, I did read in one of the forums of how the writer had started out the series with a Season 2 in mind. However, this aint happening! :( This might be why the story felt more like the beginning rather than a whole package. But this is my speculation.  But what is not speculation is that the Production house have decided not to have a season 2 for the Gu Family Book... yet. Things might change and I hope to God that they do. But until then, I am left with FanVids of Gu Family Book 2.

10 Best Scenes of Goblin: The Lonely and Great God 도깨비

By Jaysleen
If you are an avid Goblin addict then you must be flipping tables 'cause of the cancelled episode. But I am calming myself down by telling myself that there are 3 episodes next week. That's right episode 15 and 16 will be back to back! Just another 5 days to go! Goblin made me realize that 1 knight in shining armour is never enough ;) But enough about my fantasies and let's go down to the best scenes from Goblin. Note: I have seen many, many previews and trailers but I have to say that Goblin trailers and preview do not do justice to the drama. While watching the promos, I was hardly motivated to watch the drama if not for Gong Yoo. Same goes for the previews. Thank the Goblins, I decided to watch this explosive series.  It was manically difficult for me to make this list. But I finally got it down to the most meaningful scenes 10. Photo Time: If you ignore the product placement of Canon, the feels in this scene can make you smile. Taking photos usually means tra...

Healer - Kim Moon Shik's Evolution to the Dark Side.

By Jaysleen
The problem with watching a drama like Healer is that it spoils you for all other dramas. You start having expectations so high that from there on only a handful of dramas are able to fulfll them. I started watching Healer seeing its similarity to City Hunter but expect for a few details, Healer is more satisfying a drama and much better scripted keeping the suspense and the fun till the end. All characters are well written, but the most interesting of them is Kim Moon Shik (KMS). When starting out this drama, I was certain that KMS was the villain. The PD did the awesome job of maintaining the mystery of the 1992 incident up until episode 18 which was primarily the reason it took me this long to actually figure out KMS's motive. We all know he did not start off as the bad guy but somewhere down the lane, lost his path.  Up until episode 17, we see flashes of the past that gives us hints of Moon Shik's love for his friend's girlfriend. We were lead to assume th...
