The Canadian film Vicious Fun scooped the Grand Prize and the Audience Award during this year’s one-off online edition of the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival. It was Bill Calahan’s cleverly self-referential Canadian movie Vicious Fun which won over the jury and the public at this 39th edition of the Bifff (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival), bagging itself both the Golden Raven and the Audience Award. The film follows in the footsteps of Joel, a film critic for a horror magazine who finds himself unintentionally involved in a support group for serial killers. Short of other options, Joel tries his best to blend in to avoid becoming their next victim. The Silver Raven, meanwhile, was won by two films in a tie-break: the Korean feature The Closet, directed by Kwan-bin Kim, and Son, which is the latest offering by Irish director Ivan Kavanagh (the recent author of the surprising western.

29 of the contributors of Asian Movie Pulse from America, Europe and Asia have voted the 25 Best Films of 2020, resulting in what we consider a great selection, despite the difficulties the current year presented to both the shooting and the availability of new movies. In that regard, the list includes films from Malaysia, Japan, Iran. S. Korea, Kazakhstan, Singapore, China, and Taiwan while crime thrillers, animations, shorts, LGBT, comedies, horror, black-and-white and even “quarantine movies” have found a place.
Without further ado, here are the best Asian films of 2020, in reverse order. Some films may have premiered in 2019, but since they mostly circulated in 2020, we decided to include them, after an intense fight that lasted for 150 nights (give or take) and ended up with even more victims

"Take me with you..." Dark Sky Films has released an official US trailer for the Korean horror thriller The Closet, directed by Kwang-bin Kim. This already opened in South Korea in February this year, and arrives in the US to watch this fall.

The Asian film and movie industry has been on a roll over the last two decades. After years in the shadows of the more glamorous Hollywood, many countries now have impressive move making industries. The most notable of these are India’s Bollywood, China’sand South Korea’s film industries. China’s film industry is the fastest-growing film market in the world.
The 2020 Best Picture win by South Korean film Parasite at the Oscars heralded the arrival of the Asian film industry to the global scene. It is a move that has been long in coming with some blockbusters already coming from the region. With government support, countries such as Malaysia and Singapore have also entered the fray in film production to boost the industry.

A staple of the Asian horror scene, Kim Kwang-bin’s full-length directorial debut after the short “Modern Family” appeared nearly a decade ago turns back the clock to the early 2000s with its shades of both “Ring” and “Ju-On: The Grudge” in terms of its supernatural elements. While the film does tend to move away from these influences and inspirations, these are still looming over the film as a whole as it’s in theaters now.
Following his wife’s death, architect Sang-won (Ha Jung-woo) and his daughter Ina (Heo Yool) move into a new home out in the country to try to move past the horrific events. While he tries to worry about the state of his job and his daughter’s well-being as he’s alone all the time, mysterious events and activities begin to affect him which turns into far more pressing issues when Ina disappears inside the home without a trace.
