Kim Seonmin Film Editor. Chae Gyeonghwa Costume Designer. View All Critic Reviews Feb 12, My love of South Korean films really started as an extension of my love for Japanese movies.
I discovered Takashi Miike's works around and I consumed as much of his work as I could. I own, at the very least, 7 of his movies on DVD. I honestly don't keep track. It could be more than that though, it's not more than 10, I'm fairly certain of that. The point is that my exposure to Miike at 17 years old opened me up to a whole new world of cinema that I had not discovered yet. And that started me off on the road to my attempt to watch every South Korean movie ever made.
That's obviously hyperbolic, as there are so many films released there that don't even get any release over here that it's gonna be impossible for me to do so. There are films I've that aren't available to review here, so there's also that. As much as I love the culture and the films, there's things about some South Korean movies that I absolutely loathe.
Like the usage of melodrama and hysterics. Loudly weeping. Shit like that. But it's also worth mentioning that some of my favorite movies of all time are South Korean. And this is why I say this, without any sort of sarcasm or anything like that, this is unlike any SK movie I've ever seen. It's also one of the few movies that left me, legitimately, stumped for words as to how I would actually start this review. Which is why I went on that little tangent on the origin of my fondness for this country and the films they produce.
When I say that this movie stumped me or that it's unlike anything I've ever seen, I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Because, you know, that I thought this was a completely phenomenal movie.
One of the best South Korean movies I've seen in a while, that's how phenomenal it is. I don't know whether this movie can be described as a horror movie, but it definitely shares a lot of horror themes. But the fact of the matter is that it's not just a horror movie, it's so many things at once, yet it's not a movie that's too ambitious for its own good that it can't possibly live up to its own standards.
Like I can see how some people thought Swiss Army Man's ambition and surreal elements ended up hurting the movie, but you don't get that sense here. The film does feature several genres at once, but it's all in service of the greater story. There's no tangents or irrelevant subplots at play here.
Because of that, the film maintains tight focus on how its endgame is gonna play out. That's not saying that there aren't flaws, because there are. But I have to give credit where it's due and the film, as complex as it is in weaving its mysterious tale as to what is causing the people in this small mountain village to get an infection that turns them into zombie-like creatures that kill, or attempt to kill, everything in sight.
Don't misunderstand me, this is NOT a zombie movie. Not in the slightest. So for you zombie detractors out there, this is NOT a zombie movie and you don't have to worry about that.
In all honesty, if the film relied just on that aspect and not of the mystery of who the Japanese man is and what exactly he's up to would have been negated. I like the fact that, realistically speaking, the murders in the village occur around the main narrative of figuring out who this Japanese man is and what his intentions may be.
The murders themselves aren't even the main focus of the story. There's also this mysterious woman that our protagonist meets and figuring out how she plays into what is going is also a point of intrigue. Things become complicated for our lead character, when it is found out that his daughter is showing the symptoms of the same virus that's been ravaging the village.
This is where he's really drawn into attempting to find out the mystery behind the man. I like how the film gets to this point, because the first part of it, involving the murders and the investigations behind them, the Japanese man and what he is or isn't, whether he's a ghost or a demon, are really played off as just rumors.
In a small village, things like this are bound to happen, the cop thinks, so he sort of shrugs it off as baseless rumors. Naturally speaking, when his daughter starts showing the same symptoms. She's quick to anger and irrational, has a rash all over her body, our protagonist reacts like every other father would.
Despite how irrational it may be, he must get to the bottom of this and make the Japanese man pay for what he's done to his daughter. He even brings in a shaman to perform an exorcism and cast a hex on the Japanese man to make sure that his daughter's infection is removed.
It obviously doesn't work out that way, so he finds a mob and decides to go after the man and kill him. At least that's what I thought the plan was, maybe he just wanted the Japanese man to stop the 'curse', or whatever you want to call it, that he put on his daughter. R min Biography, Drama.
