K-Horror from Shamans to Outbreaks
A run through three decades of Korean horror, from haunted schools and cursed family houses to river monsters, viral sieges and exorcist-shamans, all built on the same family guilt and buried history.
Some of these are crowd favourites, like Train to Busan, The Host and Exhuma, and the rest are cult staples. Most are easy to get into, but The Wailing is long and slippery, and Bedevilled is very gory, so watch it when you're ready for that.
