16 Spine-Chilling Horror Movies That Will Definitely Give You Nightmares For Days

I’ve always been a fan of foreign cinema and exploring new watches. But you know what will always sit at the top of the list for me? Asian horror films. Let me tell you why.

My world was turned upside down when I made the grave mistake of watching an Asian horror film at the ripe old age of around 13 (sarcasm intended). My curious self just couldn’t resist, and before you know it, I spent the next few weeks of my life terrified that a ghost girl was going to crawl out of my TV.

Yep, my Asian horror journey started with Ringu. And whilst it scared the life out of me at the time, the film didn’t put me off. Instead, over the years, I’ve gone searching for even more scares (and subjecting my friends to those same scares at sleepovers — still not sorry, guys).

Now, you could say I’m always on the lookout for the next great Asian horror movie and big thrill that’ll put the fear of TVs into me again. Lately, I’ve been watching the South Korean apocalyptic TV series, Happiness (2021), and whilst it’s not been that scary, it did inspire me to reflect on my Asian horror film journey.

I’ve certainly come close, and at times, I’ve exceeded the fear factor level over the years by watching horrors from Asia — with Japan and South Korea, in particular, delivering the goods.

So, I’ve pulled together a list of the movies I’ve found to be up there with the scariest. Whether it’s the supernatural elements, outright wackiness, or ramped-up creep factor, here are my picks of the most terrifying Asian horror films you’ll ever see:
