27 January 2023: Watching Megan, the robotic. doll
Peter and I are watching Greenland at Amazon Prime. It is a great disaster film. Exciting and lots of action. No boring moments. It stars Gerald Butler.
Watching The Villagers, a 2018 South Korean movie starring Ma Dong Seok, Lee Sang Yeob and Kim Sae Ron.
It is really good
Currently watching Peninsula (Train to Busan 2)
Currently watching the Howling Village, a Japanese horror movie.
Watching Mulan.
We watched The Host last night. It is a 2006 South Korean film about a monster from the sea or Han River.
It is very watchable. Recommend it for horror and thriller.
Currently watching Dancing Mary, a Japanese Horror, Mystery, Comedy movie.
Currently watching Mask Ward, a Japanese film.
Currently watching The House of the Disappeared, a South Korean horror film.
Rewatched Train To Busan tonight. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Peter and I are currently watching Antartica Journal. It is a South Korean Horror, against the element kind of film.
Really interesting with fine acting.
Had just finished watching 0.0Mhz a South Korean horror movie released in 2019. It was pretty, I must say.
Manhole
We had just watched Manhole, a South Korean. It was really good, very taut, lots of suspense, good acting, fast-paced story.
There was a serial killer who had been hounding Seoul. His latest victim was a deaf & mute girl, Soo Jung.
Soo Jung’s sister came to the rescue and then non-stop suspense and violence. Lovely

We just watched Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, a South Korean movie set in a haunted abandoned mental hospital. I have to say, the film is not scary enough nor riveting. So I am not even going to do a full review and summary.
However, please don’t let this put you off as my taste is probably different from yours. It is not a really too bad a movie but it was not really that good either but still watchable.
Peter and I are currently watching Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds (2017), a South Korean film
