Antarctic Journal (South Korea, 2005)

A South Korean expedition is trekking across the Antarctic when they discover a journal left by a British team that was lost 80 years earlier. As they press onward, they begin to notice strange similarities between the ill-fated British journey and their own. In the unforgiving environment where small mistakes can doom an entire party, the team steadily descends deeper into fatal delusions.

Antarctic Journal mixes elements of psychological thriller and classic horror films, while overall being a drama about reaching the pole of inaccessibility. It features my favorite actor Song Kang-ho (Thirst, Memories of Murder) as a captain who is obsessed with reaching their goal.

Genre: Mystery/Thriller
