3. Beautiful Vampire: Amor Proibido
Korean Movie - 2018
I have nothing but praise for this movie. Its enjoyability meter is over 9000 and Song Kang as ahimbo wannabe actor is so perfect it hurts. Pretty sure I will be recommending this to people until the day I die-- or at least until it achieves the 'cult-classic' status it deserves!
