The Korean Cultural Center in Hungary is bringing the thrills and chills of Korean cinema to Budapest with a special Korean Horror Movie Marathon. Scheduled for November 12, 2025, at the renowned Sugár Cinema, this two-day cinematic event promises to showcase the distinctive psychological intensity that has made Korean horror films a global phenomenon.
The carefully curated lineup features six spine-tingling films that represent both popular hits and hidden gems of the Korean horror genre. Movie enthusiasts can look forward to experiencing widely acclaimed titles including "GONJIAM: Haunted Asylum," "The Priests," and "Sleep." The festival will also present lesser-known but equally compelling films such as "Noise," "The Sin," and "Idiot Girls and School Ghost: School Anniversary," offering audiences a comprehensive taste of Korea's diverse horror storytelling traditions.
The screenings are strategically scheduled across both afternoon and evening time slots throughout the two-day event, allowing maximum flexibility for attendees to enjoy multiple films. This programming approach ensures that both casual viewers and dedicated horror fans can participate according to their preferences and schedules.
Tickets for the Korean Horror Movie Marathon are affordably priced at 1,490 Hungarian Forints each. Horror enthusiasts and cinema lovers can secure their seats beginning October 18 through multiple convenient purchasing options, including the official Sugár Cinema website and traditional box office sales at the venue.
Through this Halloween celebration, the Korean Cultural Center aims to introduce Hungarian audiences to the unique and psychologically intense approach that distinguishes Korean horror cinema from other international genres. The event represents an opportunity for local film lovers to discover the chilling and creative storytelling techniques that have earned Korean horror films their renowned reputation in the global entertainment industry.
