Juno MAK’s Rigor Mortis from Hong Kong also took home a Silver Raven while the Spanish feature Witching and Bitching from Alex de la Iglesia earned the top Golden Raven.
 
Horror Stories II was directed by KIM Hwi, KIM Sung-ho, MIN Kyu-dong, JUNG Bum-shik and SEO Eun-jung. The film, which features four shorts that are linked together by a short framing narrative, also screened at the Puchon and Sitges International Fantastic Film Festivals.
