Strangers from Hell (2019)

Both are about the main character dealing with their strange neighbors who have shady intentions. They're also both thrillers and a bit gruesome. Hard to differentiate what's real and what's not

- both are set in an apartment block/hostel
- both are thrillers with crimes that occur in both
-both posters are similar

Same eerie vibe...

my personal favourite

The two series are thrillers which explore their main characters' psyches. Both shows have protagonists who start to reflect the evil, malignant behavior of the characters surrounding them. They both become increasingly violent and volatile. Additionally, in the past, both main characters have experienced much suffering at the hands of others.

The "villains" / "antagonists" in both shows hold a special interest in/for the protagonist (which they verbally announce), and believe the protagonist to be similar to them in some way or another. The shows both equally focus on the duality between their respective protagonists and antagonists.

Both Strangers from Hell and Evilive have wealth, or the lack thereof, as one of their central themes. In Strangers from Hell, Jong Woo's poverty prevents him from relocating from his current, rather hellish, housing situation. Meanwhile, in Evilive, Dong Soo's lack of money has led him to be trampled over again and again.

Strangers from Hell and Evilive mainly differ in terms of plot, as well as direction. Strangers from Hell is more "artsy," offering stellar cinematography and enough ambiguity & analysis material to leave the viewer guessing even after having completed the show. On the other hand, Evilive is more straightforward. Regardless, the acting in both series is top-notch. Viewers who enjoyed one show will likely appreciated the other.

Side-note, I noticed both series frequently utilize red lighting in order to symbolize evil, or a shift towards evil.

Both shows explore the minds and actions of people. Exploring the question of what is truly good and bad and what humanity is out of these two are very deep in both shows. I think an important factor in both shows is the initial desperation for money, which in that point in time equates to survival.
The filming and vibes of both shows make it hard for the audience to tell if a scene actually happened or if it was simply a hallucination/imaginary.
I don't want to spoil the show so I can't say much more but if you like one of these you will like the other.

Mysterious people who look like are going to do something horrible anytime, and the changes in main character because of them.

Both titles share an uncanny portrayal of people who innately feel off. Strangers From Hell immediately came screeching to my mind while watching Friendly Police.

The major difference between the two is that Strangers From Hell has a male protagonist while Friendly Police’s is female. The way events occur in the two are different; with a focus on what happens AROUND Jong Woo in Strangers from Hell versus what happens TO Ah Rin in Friendly Police.

Totally different plots at a surface level. Strangers From Hell is by far more sinister while All of Us Are Dead is upfront with its brutality. However, if you enjoy stories that dismantle humanity, you may well enjoy both titles.

Another contrast is that, while both focus on humanity, Strangers From Hell picks normal people apart piece by piece, whereas All of Us Are Dead uses a catastrophe to bring out the absolute best - and worst - of its characters. As far as viewer experience goes, Strangers From Hell twists you along with it, whereas All of Us Are Dead makes you a witness, but you probably won’t lose yourself in quite the same way.

Has the same sinister, creepy feel to it. unlike the cursed strangers from hell is more psychological. both have a hidden danger feel. like you know that the danger is there but you don`t quite know where its coming from

- Unreliable Narration
- Cannibalism
- Evil Secondary MC
- Lots of death, murder and dark themes
- Similar themes of being careful of those around you and betrayal
- Eerie atmosphere with horror themes

I couldn't help but think of SfH while watching TWW despite the latter being a historical mythology movie

Even though "Strangers from Hell" is not a boys love(bl) series I still think that these two series are similar, "Manner of Death" has a very intresting story and the cast is also good so if you like thriller series like" Strangers from Hell" then you should watch "Manner of Death"

Same creepy vibe throughout. ML keeps insisting something weird is going on, but people keep dismissing his worries. In both shows the ML is agressive but stubborn in his pursuit.

While SFH has a active FL who is involved in unraveling the mystery, SM2 has a more passive FL.

Both shows involve a cult who takes advantage of people and murders them.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

First story in the 76 horror bookstore anthology has a similar premise to Strangers from Hell - lead charscter moves to the city to earn a living but ends up renting a room in a shady place where inexplicable things start to happen.

The main theme is not the same but the creepiness factor and gore elements are. Shokuzai is way more hardcore though so watch with caution.
