There’s a new horror anthology film coming out of South Korea, featuring five tales of terror from five uniquely talented directors, and appropriately enough it’s titled Horror Stories. The trailer is now online and it’s equal turns atmospheric and disturbing. Past works from the filmmakers involved include Epitaph, White, and Memento Mori.
