Honestly, although I enjoyed Audition I didn't feel it lived up to its hype. I'm not sure why exactly, but I wasn't blown away by it.

Good call on both of these. Pandorum got bad reviews IIRC, but I enjoyed it. Felt like a mix of Event Horizon + Aliens.

Another fantastic recommendation. I had I Saw the Devil in my top 5 overall films, but didn't include it in my top 5 horror films as it's more of a psychological thriller I suppose. Either way, I love this film.
As an aside Thor, what other Korean horror/thriller films would you recommend? I've seen (and loved):
Bedevilled, Thirst, The Host, The Vengeance Trilogy, Memories of Murder, Mother, The Man from Nowhere, The Chaser, A Bittersweet Life, The Yellow Sea, and a few others I can't recall at the moment.
