Just because it is Asian horror doesn’t mean it’s good…
From the acclaim it got I was expecting more from a Korean horror if it’s going to be viewed in the same caliber as A Tale of Two Sisters, as some other reviews have stated. This movie isn’t in the same caliber except in budget spent on special effects. Think Amytiville horror. With a tree and sparse dialogue.If you’re going to have a movie with limited dialogue, the plot line and characters have to carry the film. This film could have been told quite well in a 30 minute short film concept, 2 hours with a lot of staring at trees and terror scenes that make you not only not scared, but detract in a “What the…” sort of way does not a good horror movie make.
Those people who are stating that this film gave them lasting impressions must literally have heart attacks when decent horror films lay it in.
Makes you think
I do believe this film is brilliant. I have just watched it on DVD and it really makes you think. Hollywood would do all the work for you but this film leaves you to dot the i’s and cross the t’s.The emotions you think you are seeing on screen mean something different when you have seen the whole film.
This is a horror film in the sense it is about the horrible things people can do to each other. A boy is adopted, rejected, disappears.
The UK DVD is interesting as watching the two extra features show some scenes left out which might have made the film easier to follow but would have made you think less hard! I am really trying so hard not to do a spoiler so I wont nor do I want to sound pretentious. But do see this on DVD, watch the mini features and then go back to the scenes which now have a new meaning. This film has had praise and also a lot of stick but I do think it is a real work of art.
