Folklore: Mongdal 2018 / 몽달 2018 / Mongdal

Folklore is a six-part horror anthology from HBO Asia. Directed by six of the continent’s up-and-coming directors, the unnerving series is an exploration of deep-seated superstitions that have permeated Asian cultures for generations. A mother struggles to care for her psychopathic son, especially after he begins a potentially dangerous relationship that takes a tragic turn. The lore: A mongdal is the ghost of a bachelor who only finds peace after marrying the ghost of a female virgin — meaning he’ll kill young women to speed up the process. (Source: HBO Asia)
