Which South Korean horror film series is noted as helping to generate the explosion of the New Korean Wave cinematic movement containing movies like "Wishing Stairs"?
Wishing Stairs Wishing Stairs ( also known as Whispering Corridors 3: Wishing Stairs) is a 2003 South Korean horror film. It is the third installment of the "Whispering Corridors" film series set in girls high schools, but, as with all films in the series, is unrelated to the others; apart from a song being sung in one scene that is a pivotal plot in "Voice".
Thirst (2009 film) Thirst (Korean: 박쥐; Bakjwi ; literally: "Bat") is a 2009 South Korean horror film written, produced and directed by Park Chan-wook. It is loosely based on the novel "Thérèse Raquin" by Émile Zola. The film tells the story of a Catholic priest—who is in love with his friend’s wife—turning into a vampire through a failed medical experiment. Park has stated, "This film was originally called 'The Bat' to convey a sense of horror. After all, it is about vampires. But it is also more than that. It is about passion and a love triangle. I feel that it is unique because it is not just a thriller, and not merely a horror film, but an illicit love story as well." The film won the Jury Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. It is the first mainstream Korean film to feature full-frontal male nudity.
