Janghwa, Hongryun (2003)
Creepy, Cringe, Disturbing,Twisted
Endless expectation for something to happen. Cringe. Random stuff happens with no logical explanation. Sh***y parent's acting. *I see dead peoples*. Turn the lights on to continue watching. Nothing that scary happens past that point. Psycho thriller. Unexpected plot twist. Unexpected plot twist. WTF.
Some notes:
The start is very... normal. Two sisters.. and knowing the Japanese are really good at making horrors I expected every second to happen something terribly horrific.
There is so much cringe about this movie. It's creepy and disturbing. It's messing with your brain. Not much of an action until certain point. There are things happening which create an endless expectation of something happening, but then the topic changes and you expect something else to happen until the topic changes again.
The scene with the girl under the.. was truly scary and disgusting. Blah.. I had to re-watch it with lights on, just because I was too scared to get it right the first time.
Most of the time stuff happens with no logical explanation.
Unless other horror movies this is kind of safe except for one or two scenes. There is more verbal violence than physical. It's more a grievous movie than a horror.
There is some plot twist near the end, and some other plot twist at the very end.
The very end was very disturbing. What a nasty way to die. What a piteous life. Much depressive.
Overall is was a good movie. Plot twists got me.
Long khong 2 (2008)
Watch it for the gore, story is meaningless
Bloody, gore, sick, violent torture movie. A classic for it genre.
This movie is not exactly horror in the way most people understand it, neither paranormal and there's no exorcism.
The plot is simple. Nothing deep. Almost no story for me. No backstory and no explanation how everything started and for what reason it is happening. Maybe there is something with first 2 parts, but unfortunately I haven't watched them
Just a bunch of people messing with the wrong ghost(s) for a greater good and the ghost(s) brought terrible vengeance on them afterwards.
The movie is relatively short with nothing happening during the first 1/3, really, nothing. Then everything "escalated quickly". There are sick ways of getting people killed/tortured to death, although some are not so realistic. When a scorpion bites you, you don't explode. *Phisics*. Explicit violence most of the time.
The end was kind of unexpected, like unfinished, cut. Then there was some backstory for the backstory of the movie. The plot twist at the end is great.
Book of Blood (2009)
Deep story that makes sense but not a horror, and not that interesting
Viewers friendly with a kind of a deep story. I didn't really got the story until I read some reviews after the movie.
Not really horror except for 2 scenes - the backstory and the creepy end. There are also some sex scenes with nudity.
In the very beginning the viewer meets the main character who actually tells us the story "how he ended like this".
There are a hot teacher, tough guy obviously not her husband and a freshman (student).
There is a haunted house where things are supposed to happen.
The backstory of the house is the only good thing about this movie - scary and brutal, there is violence, blood, skin torn apart. They show you things you wanna see in the movie but you never see.
Killings close to none. Nothing paranormal. A little blood, a little more blood and a lot of blood in this movie. Disney's Pirate of the Caribbean was a better horror movie.
Nothing is what you think it is.
I lost interest in watching it after some time, but finished the movie. The sex scene was a big distraction for me. Most of the time nothing really happened.
I would have voted 3/10 but there were like 2 good scenes.
