Mother of all missed opportunities.

How is this the final product? Since when are Asian horrors, so convoluted, so twisted and so hard to read? Well..my second question answers with Since Always, but the first one, that one still amazes me.

As a big fan of Asian horror cinema, I've learned a thing or two over so many years now. I know what to expect, the formula I mean, not the result, I am quite intrigued by the style and I'm always looking forward seeing where it will take me. But Amjeon took so many lefts and rights, not only I got lost, but irritated too and I ended up begging for some clarity in this production, something that would bring me back on tracks, yet no such thing happened.

It is quite a difficult watch, so I will not recommend it, not for horror fans or Asian horror fans, it is mixed with a lot of...Whats, answers very few of them, and in the end it tries to get away with it all in the cheapest way possible. Sure, watch it if you decide to, but bare in mind, it is such a mess on screen.

Cheers!
