Think Korean cinema is all about ‘Parasite’ and ‘Train to Busan’? These five disaster films deserve a spot on your watchlist. From the tsunami-struck shores of Busan in ‘Tidal Wave’ and a collapsing nuclear plant in ‘Pandora’ to the claustrophobic ‘Tunnel’, volcanic chaos in ‘Ashfall’ and a giant sinkhole in ‘Sinkhole’, Korean cinema offers plenty of gripping stories of survival and resilience.
