2. The Wailing

A Korean horror film that distills all of the gore, violence, and brutality of the region's horror films into one spectacular release - The Wailing is the story of a policeman attempting to get to the bottom of an illness that turns its hosts into savage killers, spreading throughout a small, remote village when a mysterious stranger arrives.

Part murder mystery, part supernatural thriller, and part downright visceral horror, The Wailing is one of the finest examples in modern Asian cinema lurking in the depths of Netflix's horror section. If you're not sure whether you want a ghost story or an infected, then this movie will sort you right out as it combines all three throughout the narrative, as Jong-Goo desperately tries to save his daughter from the germ-y fate consuming his community.
