10 Underrated War Horror Movies

Set during the Vietnam War, R-Point begins with a South Korean base receiving a radio transmission from a missing platoon. Lieutenant Choi leads the rescue mission, hoping to receive an honourable discharge if he's successful. While advancing to their destination, Choi's troops stumble upon a sacred temple, which catches the attention of some disgruntled spirits.

Although many of Choi's troops are flawed, they're thoroughly explored so they never come across as cardboard cutouts who are just there to rack up the kill count. Each of the men is fleshed out, which makes it more hard-hitting when they become possessed by the insidious spectres. 

Watching this Korean horror isn't just touching but conflicting, since the bewitched soldiers are compelled to slaughter one another. As a result, the audience will be praying a character will be snuffed out, even though they were cheering them on a few minutes prior. Sometimes, it's hard to tell if the soldiers' behaviour is due to possession or hysteria, which is more frightening than if the ghostly threat was unmistakable. 

It may be lacking in the gore department, but R-Point remains utterly nerve-wracking thanks to the eerie atmosphere and the ensemble's stellar performances.
