8/10
Almost perfect horror film
17 March 2024
Giving this an 8/10 rating

I'll be paying more attention to what writer director Jae-hyun Jang does as this was quite brilliant, at last a very good horror, with horror in it, from Korea.

A Korean family are having trouble trying to bury a relative, and a lot more else goes on, so no more I can write. For a start, you get a sense of dread, from the very start, and when trouble happens, it really does happen and how they got into it and out of it. People get killed and the evil is real and clever, as is the story.

I saw this in super screen, and it is nothing short of fantastic audio and visuals from, Jang. Beauty can hide something else and the tricks here are played very well and you get the pay off that is missing from the movies of the past three months, and some good killings and blood!

Choi Min-sik, Kim Go-eun, Lee Do-hyun, Yoo Hae-jin, Hong Seo-jun, Jeon Jin-ki and Kim Jae-cheol are actors I have seen in many great parts and films, all are excellent and they studied real shaman ways, according to the director, so hats off to them, the vfx, production design is simple, not over worked, so it's not flashy with money thrown all over the place.

Lots more scare films coming along, and I think this could be a 8.5 rating in a few months time. Really great entertainment.
