I watched a K-Horror this weekend that I thought was dope. Copying my review from the Horror thread:
Sleep




This is one hell of a promising debut effort from the writer/director. Sleep has a slow-burn feel that I don't think we get enough of these days. It actually gave me vibes from two POLAR OPPOSITE horrors. But I'll name-drop those in a minute.

Sleep unfolds with each nightly experience. The couple goes to sleep, the husband starts sleepwalking, and his bizarre behavior escalates with each night. Between those moments, we get the couple's reactions during the daytime and their attempts to address it. They go to doctors, safety-proof the house, and consult mediums out of desperation. Meanwhile, each night, the husband's actions become more threatening.

It works really well! This dude starts snoring, and it has the same ominous vibe as when Paranormal Activity's footage would start fast-forwarding. You KNOW that trouble is coming and that it will be worse than the last. Meanwhile, the clash of religion vs science for answers gave me a bit of the old Exorcist vibes. So, this is a fascinating combination, especially since it has a K-horror twist.

This joint does have some flaws. Characters act foolishly at times, and people sleep through some madness. But it never disrupts enough to reduce the tension. I really enjoyed it!

Happiness - A deadly virus breaks out in Korea

I had to watch Eye For An Eye Blind Swordsman 1 & 2 which was ❤️‍🔥 Any fan of the old fighting Chinese kung fu flicks will love this

I'm putting that in the queue right away. I just started Whirlwind off the hype and that one started off at breakneck pace! I didn't know how much piff Korea had until I started lurking this thread.
