We know Halloween is still months away but, well, any day is a good day to watch a scary movie on Netflix, don't you think? Well, scary movies are really never for the faint of heart, even more so when we are talking about Asian horror movies.
If you have absolutely no plans of falling asleep tonight or you just want to experience a different level of fear, we have put together a list of the Asian horror movies on Netflix that you should check out.
We feature two movies from South Korea, a country who seems to be excelling in horror movies and TV series as of late, especially those with zombies. Aside from them, we also feature a horror film each from Malaysia and Indonesia.
'#Alive'
You cannot do list of horror movies without including a zombie flick.
Zombie films are particularly popular among horror movie aficionados and it seems to be a genre that South Korea excels in, especially when you consider "Kingdom" and "All of Us are Dead." If you happen to want to indulge in some good ol' zombie scares but do not have the time to watch a TV series, you cannot go wrong with "#Alive."
"#Alive" stars Yoo Ah-in and Park Shin-hye. The story follows the characters these two play as they struggle to survive a zombie outbreak.
'A Tale of Two Sisters' (2003)
This one is an oldie but definitely a goodie. A South Korean horror film starring Im Soo-jung, Moon Geun-young, and more, the story of "A Tale of Two Sisters" follows the tale of, as the title shows, two sisters who are dealing with the loss of their mother.
These two sisters "must exorcise their home possessed by two dark forces – their new stepmother and a vengeful entity," the description on Netflix for the movie reads.
