Antarctic Journal is a 2005 South Korea survival psychological horror film. It is the feature film debut by director Yim Pil-sung. The film mixes elements of psychological thriller and classical horror films while showing the hardships met by a modern Korean antarctic expedition trying to reach the pole of inaccessibility. The film generated some buzz before its release due to its large budget (over US$6.5 million) and notable cast, but wasn't a box office hit.
