If you have a penchant for horror shows or generally enjoy getting the jeepers creepers scared out of your skin, then chances are that you’re part of the Kingdom fandom. The Korean original series tells the tale of a mysterious plague set in Korea’s medieval Joseon period, promising lots of fun and fear in their zombie-filled episodes
Season two of Kingdom was just released on 13 March 2020, which is great news. The bad news? Some – if not most – of you might have already went through all six episodes over. If you belong to said category, here are some chilling and thrilling films that you might also enjoy post-Kingdom:
