It’s honestly hard for me to judge this movie, because it has many elements that I never look for in horror. Passion, love, desire, jealousy, sex - all themes that I don’t like mixed with horror. It’s a personal preference, hence even though I rated the movie rather low, I honestly don’t think it’s a bad production. It was just not for me.

There are many good aspects of it. It’s rather unpredictable - it has quite a few twists and turns that all felt understandable (at least to the extent a short length allowed). I also appreciate when at the beginning the built up tension is broken by a joke/one liner from a new character on screen. Delivering scares each time the tension is high is not a way to go, because the viewers start to know what to expect. That’s why I appreciate when movies take a step back from time to time.

Drowned out sounds and slow motion used to indicate the distorted perception and fixation on a specific situation by a character? Love it. It’s always effective and I wish more movies used it.

The acting went from good to decent for a smaller production like this. I’m not the biggest fan of Ha Joon’s character, and weirdly I enjoyed a bit twisted Min Woo more.

All that said, I appreciate the movie from the objective standpoint, but I did not quite vibe with it subjectively.
