We all have seen American horror movies, and they are usually very predictable because of the repeated jump scares, sounds, and creepy dialects. On the other hand, Asian horror flicks try to experiment with the genre by bending the process in every other movie, which is highly unpredictable and always has that surprise horror element.
Horror movie themes usually troll around vindication, which is supernatural and physical, ghosts who are trapped in the human world and trying to make their way to the afterworld, but in the process, they discharge scary horrors on the people around them or in any manner connected to them.
Irrespective of demonic powers or scary ghosts, Asian-Korean movies, and shows spotlight the torment and terror of the characters, whatever they are handling inside the home or body they reside in. The streaming giant Netflix has many Asian and Korean thematic flicks that have more depth in content, horror, entertainment, and jump scares.
This list tries to explore Asian horror movies that are different from what Hollywood has to offer. This list is in no particular watch order, so find the film that suits you best, turn off the lights, and get ready to be scared.

Kuwaresma
Kuwarsema came out in 2019 and was directed by Erik Matti and is based on a family living in an ancient house and being tormented by their daughter Manuela are the subjects of Kuwaresma. The movie is consistent and really worked to make the scenes appropriate to the eras it is set in 1965 and 1985. The costume is befitting, from the house and style of living to the background music.
It was pretty remarkable, frankly speaking. It seemed predictable at first. However, when the twist materialized, it was unquestionably the finest one in any Filipino movie, especially a horror film. It was spot-on, unsettling, perverse, and mind-blowing. The story’s assault is both inventive and traditional. The cinematography is really excellent.
Erik Matti’s use of unusual camera angles to evoke anxiety was fantastic. The film’s gloomy and scary mood was perfectly complemented by the color grading. Even after all this, the movie was not well reviewed by the audience and had mixed reactions, but you can watch it for the writing and horror element.
- Released in: 2019
- IMDB Score: 5.5
- Cast: Sharon Cuneta, John Arcilla, Kent Gonzales

Eerie
Eerie is filmmaker Mikhail Red’s attempt at a horror film, and I can state that it is of the same high caliber as his earlier works, such as Birdshot. It contains a nice number of scares, but I wish the creepy scenes were fully developed in the flick. This film has solid performance throughout, with nothing to point at.
Veteran Filipino actors Charo Santos and Bea Alonzo showcase their acting skills in the flick. Additionally, it talked a lot about suicide and mental pressure, given that it was a horror movie, but it still covered these topics, which is a plus point for the director and movie. Being an Asian horror movie, the audio and visual representation of the movie was freaky, given that it is a horror movie.
You may feel that the movie has lost its vibe in the middle of the movie, but if you can look past that, you will love the movie. The narrative is faultless and fully reflects the horror-thriller subgenre. I tell everyone to watch it, but do not watch it by yourself, if you know what I mean.
- Released in: 2018
- IMDB Score: 4.7

Roh
In the middle of a remote wilderness, a woman and her two kids reside in a hut. After a mystery female appears, the family begins to encounter paranormal activities. The movie lasts 83 minutes, but the final 5 minutes are when all the riddles are revealed. Many religious patterns are represented via analogies and marks, which is always interesting to see and identify in movies, especially a flick from the horror genre.
The cinematography in this film is what I find most remarkable; one of the best in Malaysian-Taiwanese movies. Saifuddin Musa did an excellent job of evoking a spooky mood throughout the entire movie. Each and every person’s performances are astounding.
This movie includes numerous unsettling sequences but no jump scares, which was so refreshing and different from all other horror movies out there; you should just watch this movie for a subtle mood all along the movie.
- Released in: 2019
- IMDB Score: 6.0

Voice
Voice movie was released in 2005 and was directed by Choi Ik-Hwan. As the film moves along, the atmosphere becomes so intense that you find yourself gasping for air. This mood is made feasible by the main characters’ sympathetic qualities and the anguish they portray, not by using Hollywood-style frights.
Excellent performances and music also contribute to creating the right mood. It is the fourth movie in the Whispering Corridors franchise. The story focuses on Eon, who is a singer in an all-girls school; she gets killed by music paper that slits her throat.
The story is showcased in a very interesting manner, and that is the core of the movie, the screenplay, and the cinematography. All the scenes and the color grading in each of them give a spooky feel all along; as it was made in 2005, the camera work looks vintage, making the movie’s overall appeal murkier and appealing.
- Released in: 2005
- IMDB Score: 6.3

Incantation
Some people might find the plot to be a little slow-moving and dragging, but I didn’t mind. After all, the drama surrounding the mother trying her hardest to live regularly and calmly with her child was just as important as the horrific parts of the film. To do the seemingly difficult duty of rescuing and defending her kid from an evil and inhumane force.
The anticipation, twist, and revelation were all excellent in the movie. Because the movie is about two hours long and only the starting and the finale are decent, the middle is full of scrips and people who are always talking at the same time, which gets a bit confusing and tiring, you may get bored in the long movie.
It is a unique flick and is represented in a spooky manner. If you are a true fan of the horror genre, you may feel that some of the scenes in the movie are copied from other Hollywood horror movies, but all is done in a positive and refreshing manner, so a big thumbs up and totally recommended.

May the Devil Take You
Man struck deals with evil to gain wealth with the help of a witch. Years later, while he was unexpectedly poor and confined to a hospital bed due to a terrible illness, his brothers went back to his old mansion in search of items to sell. There, they broke into a locked basement cell and, after many jump scares and struggles, were slaughtered one by one.
It was discovered that the father had killed and buried the witch. She had taken some of his hair during the battle and cursed him while refusing to pay souls with his daughter’s sacrifices.
Voodoo and other black magic elements were employed extensively in traditional horror films, which people still like watching, but in order to amaze the audience, writers needed to come up with some fresh concepts, and this movie has done that up to a good extent.
This movie is not very scary, but the screenplay was good; even the character improvement was also very blunt and stagnant, but it fits the audience who likes witches, demons, and their sacrifices.

The Whole Truth
The movie came out very recently, in 2021, and it shows their mother, grandparents, and two teenagers named Pim and Putt. They are forced to stay with their grandparents when their mother suffers an injury, but odd events soon start to occur. They eventually find that their grandmother killed their elder sister by giving her rat poison and that their mother shot their father because she thought he was to blame.
The entire truth about the family has come to light; the only innocent parties were the kids, who suffered as a result of their parents and grandparents. The storyline twists in this gripping thriller make it less predictable than typical horror films. Although it has far less of a shock element than you may imagine, it does have a lot of atmosphere and creepiness, which is uncommon in modern films.
You will feel the mother and the teenagers to be extremely sweet; they will keep you occupied in the flick as the events unfold themselves. You will like this movie, it has a good plot, and a respectable screenplay managed well by the cast.

Revenge of the Pontianak
This Malaysian horror movie begins in 1965 during a wedding. The bride and groom are Siti and Khalid, who has a son from a prior marriage. A companion thought he saw Khalid’s ex in the crowd at the reception, but when he looked again, she was gone. He applies the brakes as he travels home to prevent running over a pedestrian.
He is slain as soon as he exits. The next day, his body is discovered in the village, hanging from a tree. According to a local mystic, Khalid and his family have set a curse on the community, and if it is not removed, it will experience further nightmares.
The film’s amazing visual is its finest feature; the sets, colors, costumes, and locales are all breathtaking. The Pontianak figure is likewise highly intriguing and full of promise, but you may feel all of this goes in vain many of the scenes in the movie looks like fillers, and the speed of each scene has no rhythm.

Bliss
Bliss came out in 2017, and it has to potential to mess with the viewer’s head. The story focuses on Jane Ciego, a former star who agreed to create a thriller film for international film festivals like Cannes, as told in the book Bliss. Unfortunately, Ciego suffers a catastrophic accident while the team is filming the movie’s conclusion.
When she awakens, her husband is torturing her, she is in a wheelchair, and there is a mystery nurse who is not who she appears. The stunning film Bliss will leave viewers confused.
It is extremely difficult and mentally taxing, yet it also functions well as a suspenseful mystery and never fails to pique the interest of the audience with its captivating narrative. In this flawless piece of film, words, music, pictures, and performances all work together. It may become a little predictable but all in all a good watch.

Aurora
Aurora is a horror movie from the Philippines which came out in 2018 and is about spirits that desire to return home and a shipwreck. Death has come to a seaside community in the shape of a shipwreck; the ship’s wreckage is evident on nearby rocks.
Many bodies are still missing; they may have been trapped in the crash, and relatives are searching for the remains of their dear ones. The core cinematography of the movie was good, and the scenes were beautiful, with proper color grading and representation.
You may feel the flick to be a bit slow, and because of that, it may get boring, but if you can get past that phase, then this movie is a good watch. The performances by the cast were good, especially Anne Curtis, and it is the sole reason to get hooked on the movie as it has a runtime of 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Shutter
The Shutter is a Thai horror flick that came out in 2004. The photographer Tun and his girlfriend, Jane, are involved in a vehicle accident when Jane strikes a young woman. They fled and did not help the girl after the accident when Tun forbade her from aiding the girl. Later Tun shows his most recent images, he discovers some enigmatic shadows, and the pair is persistently pestered by the girl’s spirit.
When Tun looks into it, he discovers that the victim was Natre, a previous shy and odd lover of his who was in the same college as him. The plot is really well constructed, moving along at a terrific clip, with a surprising turn of events, and coming to a satisfying and satisfying end.
The effects are straightforward yet breathtaking, and the cinematography effectively explores them monochromatically with a reddish tint. A movie is sometimes predictable and can become monotonous, but it is a really creepy movie and slowly turns to become a scary one.

NANG NAK
NANG NAK is a Thai movie that came out in 1999. When war breaks out in Thailand, a young husband named Mak abandons his pregnant wife and departs to serve his country as a soldier. Mak spends several months recovering in Bangkok from a major wound before he is ready to go back home. There, he meets their young kid for the first time and is reunited with his loving wife, Nak.
But it quickly becomes clear that Nak’s childbirth pains changed her uniquely. The movie was very well received in Thai cinema halls. If you expect it to be a crude horror movie, then you may get disappointed; rather, it is a tragic love story. It is a visual treat; the movie showcases some of Thailand’s best scenes, and the cinematography is beautiful.
The performers cast in the two principal parts had perfect bodies and close-cropped contemporary haircuts, which diminishes their appeal as rural peasants. All in all, a good horror flick. Just do not expect to get blown away by the horror element in the movie.

THE 3RD EYE
This movie should satisfy any fan of horror thrillers; from the acting to the plot, it is strong and keeps you on the edge of your seat while providing satisfying shivers and some real gore for fans of “blood-and-guts” horror. The film’s effective utilization of traditional haunted home clichés for its supernatural sequences is one of its finer aspects.
This one features a lot of startling scenes where ghosts unexpectedly walk up behind someone, and a piercing musical sting follows flash-cut scenes where ghastly inhuman figures interact with characters before abruptly disappearing, and a propensity to concentrate on violent and intense attack scenes.
The intricacies in this film are really captivating. The concept is fantastic which is entertaining, and filled with gore and emotions. The third eye and the astral projections were all a good part of the movie. All in all a good watch, not much shabby and horror but a good flick to kill time.

GOEDAM
A collection of eight short Korean supernatural horror movies, which is totally up my alley. This was marketed by Netflix as eight episodes, but it’s not structured like a television series; instead, it’s a multi-part anthology horror film.
It is very confusing, the episodes are interconnected, but you can never guess what is connected to what; it is highly unpredictable in a negative manner, and you will have no idea where the story is heading as the direction is not transparent and the characters look confused on screen. You can watch this only if you like slow anthologies, but there are other picks on this list that you can consider watching.
- Released in: 2020
- IMDB Score: 5.7

Svaha: The Sixth Finger
This is an excellent film with a twist. There are some allusions to both Buddhism and Christianity. The narrative and the plot both appeal to me. Although it appears to have a square end, it doesn’t. It is skillfully layered throughout the movie. Although the stories initially appeared to be unrelated and disjointed, they eventually came together to form a memorable, mind-blowing plot climax that, in not-so-subtle ways.
It is a good horror investigative movie, and if you are into such movies, then you should definitely check it out. Lee Jung-Jae, along with other cases did a great job in the movie, and the screenplay and the plot were well-versed and showcased. It is a complex dark movie that requires a pre-request of Christianity and Buddhism; even if you are not aware of any of those things, you will enjoy this movie.

JU-ON: ORIGINS
The most apparent horrors we have seen are caused by the darkness and creepy show that we see. This term is wonderfully reflected in the series, which also exudes a depressing and unpleasant atmosphere appropriate to the genre. In keeping with the original Ju-On plot, those who are somehow connected to the home seem to be dying out under the influence of the curse.
However, it is still unknown how this curse came to be and what exactly it requires. The narrative has several turns. It emerges that it is based on actual events. Six distinct timelines are introduced in the record and are tied to one another.
The writing was excellent. The conclusion leaves things unresolved. How viewers connect every small detail is up to them. You may feel that you are watching a loop. It is that well showcased, and you will find some disturbing scenes, but you will enjoy the movie and the characters involved in it.

School Tales The Series
School Tales came out in 2022 and is a series from Thailand. This anthology series’ episodes are all set in schools, and each one has curses or ghosts that put the students, and occasionally the instructors, in grave danger.
Many of the incidents are related to prior bullying that resulted in the victim receiving supernatural retribution in some of the accounts. Each of the episodes has something to offer but do not expect core horror from the series; it is a light series involving a bunch of school kids with fun and horror elements. The ghost stories were classics, and each episode ended on a cliffhanger. All in all a good light watch.

The Medium
The Medium is a Thai movie directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun; he also directed The Shutter. This movie is not for everyone; it has native Thai horror cultural references that you may not understand and dislike. This is founded on the cultural convictions shared by nations in Southeast Asia.
Therefore, it could seem irrelevant or ridiculous to someone who has never heard a comparable story. The film is based on Asian-specific rituals and beliefs. Every village has its own god, which is worshipped through rituals in which various energies are channeled via the medium.
You will love the cinematography and the neatness by which each of the scenes is placed in the movie, and the actors also kept the balance between the rituals and reality, which looked natural and underrated.

Vietnamese Horror Story
Vietnamese Horror Story was released in 2022 and is also known as Chuyen Ma Gan Nhà. This film uses high-quality imagery and production design. Another factor that contributes to the scary atmosphere of the movie is the actors’ performances.
Critics claim that “Vietnamese Horror Story” represents a pivotal moment in Vietnamese cinema. But it received mixed reactions from the audiences and was not liked by everyone; you can have a look at this one only if you are fond of regional movies in such space.

The Guardian
The Guadian came out in 2021 and is, without a doubt the most formulaic movie by Victor Vu. He attempts to tell yet another narrative about superstition in the Vietnamese entertainment industry, but with little success.
Even though the original Scandal movie had several story flaws, it nevertheless succeeded in its goal, but The Guardian’s power depends on how well you know this well-known guest star singer.
The script of The Guardian is simply a poor rehash of the first Scandal movie with a larger budget today. The movie is a bit slow and may bore you at the start, but as you get past that threshold, it becomes interesting, and the plot catches up fast, which makes up for the lost time.
- Released in: 2021
- IMDB Score: 5.7

Laddaland
Family life and terror are mingled together in the plot. The acting is excellent, but the plot is not really compelling. They didn’t explain why or how it occurred; the entire village is haunted because the finale in horror films is where the cause of the ghost and the mystery of the past are revealed.
The plot is not too complicated and is easily playable. A young couple with two children relocates their family from Bangkok to the posh suburb of Laddaland. Naturally, the area is secured and fenced; it is a typical man-made “safe” location.
He is the only member of their family that works and has a job that is somewhat stable, allowing him to move in the first place. It may get boring as it does not have the horror shots like other movies, but it is a good watch with a subtle plot and portrayal that will keep you occupied.

Danur: I Can See Ghosts
Danur came out in 2017 and is an Indonesian movie. You can figure out why these spirits are skulking around if you pay attention. They describe how they passed away in the home. The explanation for the eerie ghost woman is provided in conclusion.
The boy ghosts roam the grounds because they were killed there and pose no threat. The woman is upset and wants to take Riri in place of her child. The pacing will sometimes make you impatient, but overall it has a terrific atmosphere and keeps us intrigued enough to want to watch to the end.
It is one of those movies in the horror genre that will require you to use your brain to understand what is actually happening on the screen. The execution by Awi Suryadi, the director, is done very precisely, and you can actually feel that in each scene if you look close enough.

The Host
This tale of a mutated chemical spill monster terrorizing the residents of the riverbank quickly transcends the realm of mere monster movies. Since we first encounter the monster and have to cope with how other people respond to its presence and the taking of people.
The plot is mostly driven by the family and the relationships within it. The CGI for the creature, which appears for a substantial portion of the movie in broad daylight, is simply not that good and isn’t holding up well. The creature is there so frequently that it’s difficult to miss it.
Good sound design was a key component in the success of some sequences. It was expertly edited, adding to the scene. It is a good monster movie with good core moments, which makes it a good watch.

23:59
This primarily addresses the information that all NS soldiers are given or exchanged in the bunk, similar to the opening scene. Folklore and tales are whispered and shared about what people have heard or been told. The cinematography is the main aspect of the movie that will keep you hooked. It is a bit blunt but gets the job done.
On the other hand, the sound effects in the movie were well set and made the whole watching experience immersive. The acting by all the core members was good, and it is the reason that the flick will keep you occupied and entertained.

Alive
I thought this film to be very poignant and realistic, given that it was released during the pandemic lockdown. The separation from one’s family, depression, thoughts of suicide, total solitude that drives one insane, lack of food and the value of every drop of water, the yearning for a human connection, and the struggle to survive.
It was a tense moment when Yoo Ah-In noticed there was no more water left to drink and spilled it on the table. The characters weren’t trained warriors as in many movies because there wasn’t any pointless action. The appearance, sound, and scares are smooth and gorgeous, and the production quality is outstanding.
Our hero survives the initial attack since he is home alone when the virus first appears. He is forced to witness violence to the brink of suicidal ideation and then enters the woman. Their narrative is captivating, and the group they form is easily credible. The flick is entertaining and refreshing in the sea of repetitiveness.

The 8th Night
The horror movie portion of the first half was expertly made. It was actually riveting, tense, and creepy. The movie’s graphics were its strongest point. The acting was also rather good. The plot, the scripting, and the character development were lacking aspects.
The actors did a fantastic job, especially Kim Yoo Jung, whose eyes have a lot of depth. Despite the fact that she hasn’t spoken, her acting has been quite good. I also adore the film’s cinematography since it was clean, sophisticated, and contained a moral lesson which is something quite unique in the flicks of this genre.
It was very well received by the viewers, and everyone praised Kim Tae, the director, for laying the movie so well out for the audience. A cherry on top was the cinematography of the movie, which was beautiful.

A Tale of Two Sisters
The movie is very unsettling and has some horrifying moments. The tiny ensemble cast is absolutely great, with Im Soo-Jung standing out in the lead part. The cinematography is stunning, and Kim- Ji’s direction is excellent. The plot may use extra clarification, but some of the scenes are quite eerie.
You will enjoy the movie, no doubt about that, but it is a very slow movie; after getting past the slow and boring threshold, this is a good movie, and all of the aspects come together and makes it a thrilling experience. It is beautifully color graded, and all the scenes pop, contrasted sharply with its complex and complicated themes.
Excellent performances from the cast. This is not for you if you’re searching for blood or jump scares around every corner. This is for you if you want a psychological horror that builds slowly over time and slowly lures you into its murky setup.

Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis came out in 2019 and is also known as Byeonshin. The first scene of the film shows a priest attempting to exorcise a little girl who is under the influence of an evil spirit. The exorcism fails miserably, and the hermit priest considers leaving his isolated community to get away from those terrible experiences.
It’s worth watching since the conversation was all interconnected and related to the plot; it’s not scary because of jump scares; the scenes and the plot is what makes it disturbing without words. It is a straightforward exorcism movie, and we have already seen so many movies based on the same theme, but it has a different screenplay to it, which makes it a unique watch.
In summary, this is not your average horror movie because the roles were all interconnected, the twist was just spectacular, and the editing was on another level; a good watch and totally recommended.
