South Korean filmmaker Kim Ki-duk writes, directs, and edits Samaria (Samaritan Girl), an abstract drama told in three parts. In part one, "Vasumitra," best friends Yeo-jin (Gwak Ji-min) and Jae-yeong (Seo Min-jung) work together in a prostitution scam in order to save money for a trip. Jae-young is fatally injured and Yeo-jin carries out her final dying wishes. In part two, "Samaria," Yeo-jin finds all of her friend's old johns, sleeps with them, and returns their money. Then her police officer father, Yeong-gi (Lee Eol), finds out what she's doing. In part three, "Sonata," Yeong-gi attempts to confront his daughter about her actions. Kim Ki-duk won the Silver Bear for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival in 2004. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Ring Virus director Kim Dong-bin returns to the director's chair for this terrifying tale concerning a newly hired railroad attendant who becomes convinced that the train she's working on is haunted. Mi-sun's first assignment as a railroad attendant is an overnight trip across Korea, and as the passengers begin to board the train she can't seem to shake a deep-rooted feeling of uneasiness. Sixteen years previously, the same train Mi-sun is working on was involved in a horrific accident in which 100 lives were claimed, and now the souls of the dead have grown restless. As Mi-sun's dark visions become increasingly vivid, the railroad cars seems to take on a will of its own and the truth about her father - the conductor who was guiding the train on that fateful day - gradually begins to emerge. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
