Howling (South Korea, 2012)

Detective Jo Sang-Gil gets handed a case of suicide involving self-immolation, but soon the clues start to point to homicide. Meanwhile he's forced to work with Eun-Young, who's not only has to deal with being the only woman on the squad but also with harassment from the other policemen. So while being opposed by the police force, the two detectives must try to find out why more and more people show up dead with bite marks on their throats...

Howling has been one of my most anticipated movies for a long time. A mystery thriller with my favorite actor Song Kang-ho (Memories of Murder, Thirst) just sounded too exciting to pass up on, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The plot goes in quite a surprising direction and it avoids being just another uninspired cop thriller, so check it out if you want something that feels fresh and enthralling. 

Genre: Thriller/Mystery
