The horror-comedy genre has picked up over the years, and this movie slides into that category very easily.
Honestly, the first reason I wanted to watch this was because of the mysterious poster. A guy with a chainsaw and another one with a hammer, behind one of those trope-ish cottages synonymous with vacation horror movies.
Apart from that, I have seen Lee Sung-min and Lee Hee-joon in other movies, so I was curious to see if the plot was good.
From the get-go, the movie delivers. Of course, the plot isn't all that special, with a gang of spoiled college-going youngsters trying to have a weekend of fun and two simpletons who just happen to come to the same town with the hopes of starting a new chapter in their lives.
What ensues is a steady stream of innocent misunderstandings that accidentally awaken a demon that has been trapped for decades.
As expected, some scenes are very touching - South Korean directors have gotten this emotion down to a science.
On the whole, I found some scenes very funny, some completely exaggerated, and some surprisingly had me on the edge of my seat.
If you can find it and you like this kind of content, watch it.

This topic never ceases to interest me. There's something about venturing into the unknown with only your wits to protect you.
Most of these stories about the pioneers in North America are about loss, greed, and a few good people who were just looking for home.
This is another one of those stories, but it is poignant because it captures the essence of life during a very specific time in the past. A time that reminds us of unspoiled natural beauty and how far each and everyone of us would go to lay claim to it.
I wish the visuals were a little more colorful as some scenes almost look black and white and fail to capture the immense landscapes of Utah. Yet, the drab colors seem to express the somber and dark premise of the plot.
Taylor Kitsch as Isaac and Betty Gilpin as Sara Rowell share center stage as they fight their way forward in what can only be considered blind optimism. Then again, finding purpose is as important as finding yourself.

40 days in the Amazon jungle! I'd probably last a week.
I think it's really amazing that a young girl of 13 could look after three children and herself for such a long time. I can't even imagine how scary it would be for anyone to survive in a forest without fire, drinking water, and food. And an 11-month-old child!
I don't know how much of the rescue attempt is true and whether the dramatic retelling of what happened can be fully trusted, but it's the human equation in the incident that is inspiring. The fight for survival is deep-rooted in our DNA.
Children are so vulnerable in today's world because of the dangers prevalent in society, but even in the natural world, it would take a miracle to save them from harm.
When the incident happened in 2003, the news did reach my corner of the world, so I was curious to see how the events panned out. It's a moving portrayal of the human spirit.
