Hometown Legends Episode 2

Let's Go to Cheong Mountain, My Child

This episode is possibly even less scary than the first, but is much more gruesome, at least in its subject matter. Unfortunately, the story is also not all that interesting. Other than the awful way that the haunting (of sorts) starts, the story is pretty simplistic.

There's actually not much to say about the story that isn't covered by the synopsis. The so-called ghost is really more of a zombie (corporeal and apparently unkillable). The resolution of the story is satisfactory, but kind of obvious past a certain point. And I have never heard the word aga so many times in my life.

The special effects in this one are rudimentary, and rely mostly on lighting to indicate which child/which version of the child we're seeing. It's effective, if a little cheesy.

So overall, it's okay. I won't watch it again, but it wasn't a terrible way to spend an hour.
