A
woman’s rage is the one feared the most. Maybe that is why directors and
writers chose a female ghost to their films. Creative minds had their synopsis
as a woman that seeks for revenge, when somewhere in the past they could have
suffered maltreatments. To viewers, a woman with a pale white face, long hair
and creepy eyes depicts a more realistic and scary image of a ghost. And the
truth is that their shivering faces stay on our minds even when we close our
eyes. Scary isn’t it?

the horror and suspense film enthusiasts, here are some of the top Korean movies
you’ll surely be watching!
