Cowboy Bebop

Available on Netflix

Before the release of the live-action remake of this iconic anime next month, check out the 1998 original, now available on Netflix.

Long hailed as one of the most influential animes of all time, Cowboy Bebop is set in a post-apocalyptic universe where Earth is almost entirely uninhabitable. The series is a neo-noir western about bounty hunters or "cowboys" who bring criminals to the Inter Solar System Police for the right price.

The crew of cowboys often encounter events that put them in danger and also force them to confront their past traumas.

Guimoon: The Lightless Door

Available on Viu from Oct 30

Catch this South Korean horror film that arrived on Viu just in time for Halloween season.

It is about an abandoned training centre that has seen supernatural occurrences since a heinous crime happened there in 1990 - when a building manager murdered the centre's guests and committed suicide.

Since then, death has occurred yearly at the centre, forcing it to be closed down.

A paranormal investigator, played by actor Kim Kang-woo, is undeterred by the seemingly cursed building as he looks for clues about his late mother, a shaman who died while performing an exorcism at the centre. But he is not the only one, as three college students brave the centre as well to film a video for a competition.
