Scary Korean Movies Posted by Ginny on Oct 31, 2009 in Korean Language
This Halloween why not spend some time watching scary Korean movies? All these movies have been made within the last couple of years:
불신지옥 – Living Hell/Living Death. About two sisters, one who may possibly be possessed.
여고괴담 5 동반자살 – A Blood Pledge. About a group of high school girls who promise to commit suicide together, but two girls back out of the pact…
고死: 피의 중간고사 – Death Bell. A classroom full of students are taking an exam and are being executed one by one. How do the remaining students stop this mysterious occurence?
해부학교실 – The Cut. A couple of medical students start dying off one by one during a dissection lecture. Could the mysterious new student be involved in the killings?
기담 – Epitaph. The setting of the movie takes place in Korea, under Japanese occupation. Mysterious events start to occur in a hospital. Is there a good explantion for this, or is the place simply haunted?
전설의 고향 – Evil Twin. The spirit of a deceased sister may be taking over the living sister’s body. Does the mother hold the secret to this mystery?
두 사람이다 – It’s Two People/Someone Behind You/Voices. A girl tries to escape a curse haunting her family, but can she even trust her own family?
You can try looking for these movies on Netflix. If that doesn’t work, maybe Blockbuster will have them in the foreign film section. You can also buy them on YESASIA. Keep in mind that some of these movie titles are not translated with the same meaning in Korean. My guess is that some of the titles were changed so that international audiences would find these movies more scary/appealing.
