All Aboard the GHOST TRAIN: Korean Horror Anthology Arrives February 17

A haunted station becomes a viral nightmare in Korea’s chilling horror anthology Ghost Train.

Not to be confused with the 2006 Japanese feature of the same name, South Korea’s Ghost Train is pulling into the station with a very different kind of terror in mind—one rooted in modern obsession, urban folklore, and the endless hunger for viral content.

Courtesy of Well Go USA Entertainment, the Korean horror anthology Ghost Train arrives on Digital on February 17, with Blu-ray and DVD releases following exclusively through Amazon. Judging by the newly released trailer, this is a ride designed to unnerve at every stop.

The film stars Joo Hyun-young as Da-kyung, a struggling YouTuber desperate to revive her failing channel. Her solution is familiar to anyone tracking the evolution of modern horror: go where you shouldn’t, document what doesn’t want to be seen, and hope the algorithm rewards you before something else finds you first. Da-kyung sets her sights on an allegedly haunted train station, believing it to be the ultimate piece of content.

What begins as an interview quickly becomes something far more dangerous. The station’s caretaker, played by Jeon Bae-soo, recounts a series of chilling tales tied to the location—stories that blur the line between urban legend and lived nightmare. As the night deepens, it becomes clear that these aren’t just ghost stories meant to scare tourists. They may be warnings.

Directed by Tak Se-woong, Ghost Train leans into anthology storytelling while maintaining a shared sense of place and dread. The setting—a liminal, forgotten train station—acts as both crossroads and trap, binding each story together with the creeping sense that once you arrive, leaving may not be an option. The cast also includes Choi Bo-min, who earned the “Potential Award” at the 2024 Asia Artist Awards for his performance in the film.

The trailer promises exactly what fans of Korean horror have come to expect: unsettling imagery, claustrophobic tension, and moments that veer into the grotesque without warning. There’s a grime and cruelty here that feels distinctly modern, tapping into anxieties about visibility, exploitation, and the cost of chasing attention in places that should remain undisturbed.

Ghost Train arrives at a time when horror anthologies are once again finding creative footing, particularly in international cinema, and this entry looks poised to stand out by marrying folklore with influencer-era desperation. All aboard—just don’t expect a return ticket.

Ghost Train hits Digital on February 17 from Well Go USA Entertainment, with Blu-ray and DVD releases available exclusively via Amazon. Keep it locked to Horror Movies Uncut for more coverage as this one pulls into view.
