Artistic cult horror movie
Good setting but the execution at the beginning could be better as it takes a significant amount of time to gain traction, and a few action scenes here and there really didn't look too fine at all honestly. However once the tension takes off in the second half, the storytelling does have a lot to offer especially in the plot twist department, the concept behind it somehow becomes exceptionally huge. It's just that maybe the poor writing took away some of its quality, or else this could very well be one of the most artistic Korean cult horror movie ever.Was this review helpful to you?
Too many element
Well, this film aired 2 month after viral Exhuma film.If you like a ritual like Exhuma, watching this one is worth your time. The dance, the momment, the horror, all is a good place until they make who is dead become zombie ?
C'mon. Its feel like not a evil, not a horror and I almost think this is a zombie film but that is not ?
Too much element with unclear ending, even they have a after credit scene, its just a past momment and make us want more for sequel.
Maybe,, just maybe..
If they not put in the part when people wake up from dead and become zombie, this film will be more interested.
