Intelligent suspenseful serial murder hunt set in medieval Korea.., 9 May 2006
8/10
Author: Joe from United Kingdom

The past couple of years have seen a slew of Korean film being released which has helped to rocket their industry to be amongst the best in the world. All though have been based in the present depicting a modern country.

"Blood Rain" on the other hand is a diversion, a film set at the tail-end of medieval Korea surrounding the murder hunt of a serial killer by a govt detective. The murders follow a grim pattern relating to events from 7 years earlier, with each victim being an informant to the execution of a man. The village folk sense revengeful ghosts (the constant theme in Asian cinema nowadays!), and it is up to the detective to prove them right or wrong.

As ever the direction is beautiful, the acting is grand, but the storyline is the main crutch of this film, being intelligent and getting away from a teen-aimed market for a change. Takes elements of Ms Marple for the detective but then again it takes Tarantino in the deaths, however it is its own film. The only flaw I think is that as good as it is, it is no classic but not every film can be.

Highly enjoyable, and entertaining film (and educational even too) and you will not be disappointed.
