Horror films has been a traditional genre in Korea, even if they has nor been the most popular films. The significant number of horror films had been produced in the 1960's and 1970's. However, during the 1980's and the first half of 1990's, few number of horror films had been produced. From 1998, the production of horror movies increased significantly and it became popular.
The purpose of this study is to investigate why the horror films in the late 1990' s began to be popular?; what are the differences between the past horror films and recent films; what are the socio-cultural implications of the differences.
For the study, the most popular four horror films were selected, which have been produced recently. And a narrative analysis were used to investigate the plot, the characters, and the relationships of them in horror films. The conventions and formulas of the modern horror films were compared with that of those produced in 1960s and 1970s.
The study found the transformation of the genre conventions. For instance, the conflicts of narrative were originated from the family and finally the family was broken up; The female ghosts were not appeared, who were frequently found in the past horror films: The sense of character's guilt in unconsciousness was the main motivation in the films, instead of ghost's revenge in the past films; the antagonism between characters were nor found; and the recent horror narrative tended to have open-ended, instead of solving narratives in the past.
We concluded that the transformation of the horror films relatively reflected the changes of the Korean modern society. However, the values and themes such as patriarchy and familism were still pursued like in the past ones.
