二 |     South Korea has steadily built a reputation for creating some of the most inventive and spine-chilling horror films. If you are thinking of simple jump scares, you are in for a lot! Simply put, K-horror thrives on atmosphere, folklore, psychological complexity and a uniquely Korean blend of tragedy and terror. These films pull you in with stylish direction and layered storytelling. Interestingly, they leave you thinking about their implications long after you’ve locked all your doors and switched on every light in the house.If you’re ready for a guided tour through Korea’s most unforgettable nightmares, here are ten of the best Korean horror movies for you to watch with your lights on.     In This Article      1. A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)2. The Wailing (2016)3. Train to Busan (2016)4. I Saw the Devil (2010)5. Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)6. Thirst (2009)7. The Host (2006)8. The Call (2020)9. Whispering Corridors (1998)10. The Piper (2015)1. A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)          Kim Jee Woon’s gothic psychological horror remains a benchmark for modern Korean cinema. Loosely rooted in an old Joseon-era folktale, the story revolves around two sisters who return from a mental health facility only to encounter escalating tension with their cold and unpredictable stepmother. From its dreamlike cinematography to its suffocating atmosphere, the film invites viewers into a labyrinth of memory, trauma and hallucination. Instead of spelling things out, it asks you to piece together the truth.     2. The Wailing (2016)          If A Tale of Two Sisters is a fairy-tale nightmare, The Wailing is a sprawling supernatural epic disguised as a crime drama. It is set in a quiet mountain village that is plagued by bizarre illnesses and gruesome murders. The film follows an overwhelmed police officer who becomes embroiled in a series of events involving shamans, demons and eerie strangers. Director Na Hong Jin blends spiritual mythology with real world dread. The Wailing isn’t just scary; it is unsettling in a way few films dare to be.     3. Train to Busan (2016)          Zombie films may feel overdone, but Train to Busan revitalises the genre globally. It is set almost entirely aboard a high-speed train, as the story begins with a viral outbreak that transforms commuters into ravenous undead within minutes. What elevates the film isn’t just the tight, breathless action choreography but its emotional core. At its centre is a father trying to reconnect with his young daughter and their evolving bond anchors the chaos around them. The characters are well drawn, the social commentary is sharp, and the pacing is absolutely relentless. It is a perfect example of how Korean filmmakers turn genre films into human stories.     4. I Saw the Devil (2010)          Not for the faint-hearted, as I Saw the Devil blurs the line between horror and thriller. A secret agent embarks on a mission of revenge after his fiancée is murdered by a sadistic serial killer. Now a cat-and-mouse chase begins that becomes a brutal story of vengeance. The film is horrifying because of the killer’s cruelty and the protagonist’s descent into moral corruption. It comes with slick cinematography and Kim Jee Woon manages to keep the audiences hooked with nerve-shredding tension. The violence is graphic and chilling, to say the least.     5. Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)          This movie explores the lives of a group of young content creators. They visit an abandoned psychiatric hospital to livestream their investigation for views and sponsorship money. At first, it feels like a mischievous reality-TV stunt. It is complete with pranks planned to scare the audience. But once the group begins exploring deeper into the asylum, the pranks give way to very real and very terrifying phenomena. The film’s shaky-cam style makes each moment feel immersive and real. Also, its exploration of the internet culture adds a modern twist to the haunted-asylum trope.     6. Thirst (2009)          Park Chan Wook’s Thirst is a vampire film unlike any other. The reasons being that it is sensual, tragic, darkly funny and unexpectedly philosophical. The story follows a devoted priest who becomes a vampire after volunteering for a medical experiment intended to save lives. The priest is suddenly torn between his religious convictions and his bloodthirsty new instincts. He begins an affair that spirals into guilt, violence and moral decay. As always, Chan Wook's visual flair elevates the film. Also, the movie does not rely on typical vampire cliches clichés. It uses the supernatural to examine human weakness and spiritual conflict.     7. The Host (2006)          Though often labelled a monster movie, The Host is far more sophisticated than that simple description suggests. It is directed by the globally acclaimed Bong Joon Ho. But interestingly, this movie released before Parasite. It follows a dysfunctional but deeply loving family fighting to rescue their daughter from a mutated river creature that rises from Seoul’s Han River. The monster is frightening enough, but what sets the film apart is its blend of horror, political satire and heartfelt family drama. Bong uses the creature as a metaphor for Government failure, environmental negligence and societal indifference. It’s thrilling, funny, emotional and terrifying all at once.     8. The Call (2020)          A more recent addition to the Korean horror canon, The Call combines time-travel elements with psychological horror. The premise centres on two women living decades apart but connected through a mysterious telephone line. It starts as an unusual friendship, but it quickly turns nightmarish when one of the women uses their link to manipulate the timeline. She gives way to her own violent impulses. The film escalates at a breakneck pace. It blends sci-fi, thriller and horror into a uniquely chilling ride. Its unpredictable twists and menacing energy keep viewers on edge until the final seconds.     9. Whispering Corridors (1998)          A landmark in the revival of Korean horror during the late 1990s, Whispering Corridors is set in an elite all-girls school where mysterious deaths spark rumours of ghosts roaming the hallways. While it functions as a supernatural mystery, the film also critiques the pressures and abuses embedded within Korea’s academic system. Its success spawned a long-running anthology franchise, but the original remains the most impactful, thanks to its eerie atmosphere and emotionally charged storytelling. The school setting, with its empty classrooms and locked corridors, becomes a perfect stage for terror.     10. The Piper (2015)          Inspired by the classic legend of the Pied Piper, this folk-horror gem is set in the aftermath of the Korean War. A wandering piper and his son arrive at a remote village plagued by a rat infestation. At first welcomed, he is soon betrayed by the superstitious villagers. It leads to one of the most chilling revenge arcs in Korean horror. It begins as a quiet and almost pastoral drama. Then it slowly transforms into a grotesque and poetic retribution. The film’s unsettling tone, creepy creature design and moral lessons make it a standout for fans of folklore-based horror.One thing is for sure, Korean horror doesn't simply aim to shock. It often reflects deep-rooted cultural anxieties about family expectations, social hierarchy, Government mistrust, colonial trauma, religious conflict and the wounds left by rapid modernisation. Ghosts in Korean cinema are rarely just monsters. They are symbols of unresolved guilt or injustice. Monsters represent societal failures. Revenge stories become meditations on morality. Even zombie films carry emotional weight.Stylistically, K-horror thrives on atmosphere. Directors take their time setting up tension, focusing on mood, character psychology and beautiful-yet-ominous visuals. The result is a mix of artful storytelling and gut-wrenching fear that resonates with global audiences.Also Read: Inspection Bungalow Review: A Quirky Horror Comedy That Fumbles Its Final Stretch。如果未来人类真的在太空建起第一座矿山，会最先开采什么？答案或许出人意料：很可能不是昂贵的金属，而是水、氧，甚至是土壤。　　谈到太空矿产，人们通常想到的是：地球资源越来越紧张，于是人类飞向月球或小行星开采矿产，再把资源运回地球。这种设想并非完全没有道理。月球表面部分岩石含有钛、铁，也检测到稀土，不少小行星则含铁、镍和铂族金属等。然而，从“有资源”到“能开采”，再到“值得运回地球”，仍隔着很长的距离。　　判断一种资源是否值得开发，要综合考虑矿体规模、品位、赋存状态、开采方式、能源消耗、加工难度以及运输成本等。尤其在太空，开采和运输成本往往决定了一切。

三 | 既然如此，为什么还要去太空采矿？其实，人类真正需要的，未必是把资源带回地球，而是让资源留在太空发挥作用。　　今天，人类开展月球探测和深空探测，几乎所有物资都来自地球：宇航员饮用的水、呼吸所需的氧气，火箭燃料，科研设备……如果只是“打卡式”登陆月球，这种方式尚可维持；但如果要建立长期运行的月球科研站，并以月球作为继续探索火星和深空的基地，仅依靠地球不断补给，将越来越困难。因此，各国航天机构近年来越来越关注一个概念：就地资源利用。　　所谓“就地资源利用”，就是尽可能利用月球、火星或小行星当地已有的资源，生产人类所需要的产品，而不是什么都从地球运过去。

四 | 在这种逻辑下，资源价值的标准发生了变化。在地球，一吨水没有太大经济价值；但在月球，一吨水可能比黄金更加珍贵。同样，月壤也不只是普通的尘土。月壤中含有丰富的硅、铁、铝、钛以及与这些元素结合的氧。

五 | 未来，人们有望利用加热、电解等方法提取月壤中的氧气和金属，并利用剩余材料铺设道路、建设着陆场，甚至作为三维打印建筑材料。　　当然，实现这一目标并不容易。月球表面的高真空、剧烈温差、强辐射和低重力环境，都会给资源勘探、开采和加工带来巨大挑战。月球极区究竟储存了多少水冰？如何高效提取氧气？怎样利用月壤制造建筑材料？这些问题仍需要长期研究。当前太空资源研究最重要的任务，并不是急于给月球上的矿产标价，而是绘制更加精确的资源地图。近年来，中国嫦娥工程不断取得突破，带回了珍贵的月球样品，为认识月球物质组成、资源分布和形成历史提供了重要依据。

六 | 未来，随着国际月球科研站等重大工程逐步推进，对月球资源的科学认识将成为深空探测的重要基础。

七 | 　　从石器时代到青铜时代，再到工业时代，人类不断发现新的资源，也重新定义“矿”的含义。今天，当探索的边界从地球延伸到月球和火星，这个古老的概念也正在发生变化。从“地球补给”走向“就地取材”，看似只是采矿地点的变化，实际上意味着人类探索宇宙方式的一次深刻变革。　　(作者为北京大学地球与空间科学学院副教授)。
