#6 The Wailing/Train to Busan (Kor)
In the last decade Korean horror has re-invented what it means to be kicked in the feels. It all began with I Saw the Devil in 2010. These two films messed with our heads in 2016...
The Wailing
A stranger arrives in a little village and soon after a mysterious sickness starts spreading. A policeman is drawn into the incident and is forced to solve the mystery in order to save his daughter.
Director: Hong-jin Na; Writer: Hong-jin Na; Stars: Jun Kunimura, Jung-min Hwang, Do-won Kwak

Demons and witches abound in this supernatural thriller. Superstition and stranger danger is confused for evil intent and the true horror is when family protection goes wrong. An excellent biblical style horror film thats reminiscent of Prey with the bite of The Witch.
Train to Busan
While a zombie-virus breaks out in South Korea, a couple of passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan.
Director: Sang-ho Yeon; Writer: Sang-ho Yeon (screenplay); Stars: Yoo Gong, Soo-an Kim, Yu-mi Jung
Train to Busan is a zombie film that requires lots of tissues to watch. Seriously, as you watch this previously absentee father try to fulfill his daughters wishes in the midst of the usual zombie madness you can't help but lose your heart to the poor guy and the little girl. Also, theres so many awesome zombies on that mother f'n train!
