Chinjeolhan Geumjassi by Chan Wook Park – 2005
As the third instalment of the ‘Vengeance Trilogy’ of director Chan Wook Park, Chinjeolhan Geumjassi (English Title: Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) is an equally well made movie, which fulfils the expectations that has been created mostly by Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. After being hugely impressed by the class of Chan... More
Boksuneun Naui Geot by Chan Wook Park - 2002
The first instalment of the trilogy of Korean director Chan-wook Park is Boksuneun Naui Geot (English Title: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance). This Korean thriller is a class in itself, if you like the style of Park. Though most of his movies (OldBoy, Bakjwi etc.) are kind of similar at the first instance and they definitely revolve around... More
Bakjwi by Chan Wook Park – 2009

Telmisseomding by Yoon-Hyun Chang – 1999
Here’s another Korean drama-thriller movie for you. It has been quite some time since I reviewed two of my all time favourite Korean horror movies Janghwa Hongryeon (English Title: A Tale of Two Sisters) and Old Boy (not exactly a horror movie though). However, Telmisseomding (English Title: Tell Me Something), directed by Yoon-Hyun... More

Janghwa, Hongryeon (English title: The Tale of Two Sisters) is one of those rarest horror movies, which not only deals with supernatural elements and mysteries but also beautifully touches every aspect of human emotions and the need of relationships and bondings. This Korean horror movie is directed by Ji-woon Kim and to everyone’s... More
Oldboy by Chan-Wook Park - 2003
Oldboy (English title: Old Boy) is one of the finest Asian movies I have ever seen. You cannot put this movie directly into the genre of horror movies but combining all the elements that it possess, you get an excellent outcome of marvellous work of director Chan-Wook Park. Oldboy is a complete psychological thriller that has won... More
