Crappy film
best movie i've ever seen.
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
A good movie but it is not a great movie. This movie would have been a 10/10 if it was a little shorter. 2 hours and 30 minutes is really pushing it. They could and should have cut off some of the talking scenes and "comedic" scenes and make this movie just 2 hours. It would have been perfect. This movie is slightly uneven because it is very dark and serious, but then there would be weird comedic scenes such a a group of villagers beating up a zombie-like person "Shaun of The Dead" style. This scene goes on and on. This movie has an amazing ending though, and it is very bleak. It deals with Satan, Angels, discrimination, and morality. There is no light in this movie. This movie starts off in darkness and ends in total darkness.
I cannot believe all the positive reviews. This was worse than watching paint dry. Actually watching a awful rerun of Ronda Shearer's Up All Night with a equally awful Linnea Quigley-Brinke Stevens double feature would have been far less painful
I'm not a big fan of horror movies and i don't regard them as my type of movies sort of speak but i watched the movie and maybe because i don't watch a lot of them i didn't get the way the movie was progressing, the last 30 minutes literally got my at the edge of my chair but the other 2 hours i felt nothing but boredom and i hoped to understand the movie at the end but it left my with a lot to wonder,,, maybe that is what the movie aims to achieve but i think it's simply not my cop of tea
If you like Asian horror, you probably aren't looking for the equivalent of Abbott & Costello Meet The Spooky Chick With Long Hair. That's close to what Hong-jin Na has done with his half-parody, half-serious take on his supernatural material. He's more serious than not, but he's also fatally hung his tale on a cop protagonist who's a pudgy bumbling wimp. We're meant to see multiplying local horrors as the forge that helps officer Jong-goo man up, if not in the eyes of his bored wife then at least to save his cutie pie kid. He's determined to scream and run for it like a Korean Lou Costello.This prefab spook house is filled with slapstick, zombies, ghosts, plagues, exorcisms and gore, but Na's predictable and it's always obvious where he's going next. He has an OK eye, a plodder's pacing and a manga's paint-by-number characters. His action sequences typically involve the same repeated pratfalls -- he's no Yeon Sang-ho! He does, however, pull out all the stops for a berserk tongue-in-cheek shamanic ritual that's the only memorable sequence in the film.
