If it wasn't for that unforeseeable climax, the Korean film 'Ryeong' would've have been commendable, but shop-worn experience lumped in familiar and tired staples. The shivers were just no there for me. Imagery is cold and sterile, with a depressing stench. However most of the time it looks lamentable, sitting there all pretty. Photography is lushly lensed. I couldn't find myself soaking up the atmospheric chills, and director/writer Tae-kyeong Kim glossy slow-burn; suggestive horror tailoring didn't feel well-judged and kind of bored me. The music score can creep up on you, but doesn't help generate much in the way of suspense. It seemed to lack that device, well up until its conclusion.
On the other-hand the hazy story is well-organised, as it does go out of its way in depth and its major twist is well-disguised. The material wisely and perfectly hands out piece by piece as our protagonist gains back their memory, and that's when everything you thought was faithful, slowly unravels the true colours with captivating and harrowing results. You're initial thoughts change. Never does the fractured groundwork disorient. Actually these recurring visions are more fulfilling than the jump tactics. Ha-Neul Kim's vulnerably sullen and confused performance infuses the right mood and empathy. The rest of the cast do a solid job also. As for the vengeful spirit. No surprises; black long hair, one eye, white dress, water… water everywhere. One thing you notice; watch out for the stretching hand and if you get the feeling of being watched slowly turn you head. The victims do. I don't know how many times this had happened?
