Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

i'm always leary of what to order based on the reviews when it comes to asian cinema, becuz everyone seems to have such whacked-out opinions. for me, this wasn't the most original, the scariest, or even the most engrossing film ever made, but i was surprisingly happy with it. ...i expected it to be 'all right' based on reviews, but i actually have watched this one more than once, and i quite enjoy the film overall. the acting is quite good, and i thought the quality was also very good. not too much gore, just a good old fashioned ghost story set in a 'war' environment. if you're more into 'oldboy gore/grossout', then maybe you won't like this, but those who just want some suspense with a good ghost story will get something out of this one.

Heard the one about the army unit that comes across a haunted Keep/bunker/trench/rest home and find themselves killing each other as their past sins find them out? Well, you're about to hear it again, Korean style. Set during the Vietnam War, this is more inspired by WW1 chiller Deathwatch than The Keep (particularly the ghostly radio messages from dead troops), and certainly a lot better than the dire The Bunker, but despite some good moments and the odd good image thrown up en route - especially a thunderstorm in a field filled with war graves - it adds up to little. An unexceptional timefiller.
