Korean filmmakers might not have received fame in the past, but now they are the talk of the town, especially after hits like Parasite. While true-crime and satire genres have been recently ruling the screens, fans forget that horror is the genre that Korean filmmakers aced in the past. We have made a concise list of the best Korean horror movies on Netflix. So, if you have the guts to watch, then choose from our spooky list.

The Call

Seo-Yeon discovers an old phone after misplacing hers in her grandmother’s house. The old phone can only call Young-sook, a young woman who lived in the same house in 1999.

Seo-Yeon seeks to protect the endangered Young-sook from dangers she does not know. A British and Puerto Rican film titled The Caller inspired this South Korean film.

The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion

This witch might not have supernatural powers, but she has superhuman powers. Designed to be a killing machine, Ja-yoon escapes from a government facility at a young age. But, destiny has other plans as Ja-yoon reunites with her old foes after appearing on a television show.

If you have binged Itaewon Class you can’t miss this as Kim Da-mi stars in this film. Although this isn’t a horror film, the gore and action will confuse you.

Forgotten

Jin-seok investigates the truth behind his brother’s unusual abduction when his brother returns, seemingly a different man with no memory of the previous 19 days.

The movie has covered a plethora of different genres, from thriller to sci-fi. One might think that many genres will create a mess, but the writer and director have pulled it off.

The 8th Night

With prayer beads in one hand and an ax in the other, a monk hunts down a thousand-year-old demon that is possessing humans and unleashing havoc on Earth.

The characters in this movie are well-written with good backstories, and the synergy between the characters also propels this movie.

#Alive

A zombie apocalypse forces a video game live streamer to stay alone in his Seoul apartment, but he soon finds out he isn’t alone as he meets another survivor. Yoo Ah-in plays the lead role of Oh Joon-woo, and the actor has given one of his best performances in the movie.

Based on a Hollywood screenplay by Matt Naylor titled Alone. Tyler Posey has starred in the English adaptation of this movie which wasn’t as successful as #Alive.

Svaha: The Sixth Finger

Pastor Park investigates the mysterious Deer Mount cult, while a police captain learns that his murder suspect may be a member of the same cult.

We know the ease with which Koreans pull off a crime investigation drama, and to add the horror genre to it is a welcome experiment. Need another reason to watch? Well, you got one. You can watch Squid Game‘s beloved 256 in an interesting role in this flick.
