Horror Stories 2 (Korean: 무서운 이야기 2) is a 2013 horror omnibus film made up of four episodes by four South Korean directors.[1] It screened at the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival and Sitges Film Festival in 2013,[2] and won the Silver Raven prize in the International Competition at the 2014 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival.[3]

Min Kyu-dong's 444 is set against the backdrop of the warehouse of an insurance company where a woman with the ability to communicate with the dead delves into fraudulent insurance claim cases. Kim Sung-ho's The Cliff focuses on two friends who go hiking in the woods then get trapped at the edge of a cliff. Kim Hwi's The Accident centers on three depressed girls who go on a road trip after they fail the teacher's certification exam, but a car crash turns their trip into a nightmare. Jung Bum-shik's The Escape is about a male trainee teacher who gets locked in the doorway to hell.[4][5]

It is a sequel of horror and scary tale trilogy Horror Stories, a film with a similar format which was released in 2012.[6]
