Ambient Light is a bi-weekly, personalized horror film recommendation podcast hosted by horror blogger Angela Harris. In this week's episode, Angi answers questions about Asian horror films, found footage films, and horror films from the 1920s through 1960s. Hi! I'm a big horror fan but have yet to venture into Korean and Japanese horror in a serious way. Can you make some recommendations? I enjoy intellectual and psychological thrillers, and any horror that uses the genre in a philosophical way. Thanks so much! Sandra, Chicago Recommendations: Train to Busan (2016) directed by Yeon Sang-ho, Bedeviled (2010) directed by Jang Cheol-soo. ************* What are some of the better found footage horror films that don't involve too much shaky cam or overuse of profanity?
