i don’t even know what happened in the movie, i was too focused looking at lee jungjae
bro i have no idea what was going on i need 6 brains to understand this
A delightfully quirky cross section of Korean mysticism, Christianity and Buddhism - makes director Jang Jae-hyun's latest Exorcist inspired work quite charming. I was so pleased with Svaha The Sixth Finger, that I immediately sought out the filmmakers' other efforts. Religious horror hangs heavily over his content, though Svaha is easily the most creative.
Our protagonist (Lee Jung-jae) is a pastor who runs an organization that debunks religious frauds - with motivations that are more financial than altruistic. While courting Buddhists - claiming that's where the money is - our pastor looks into a potential cult named Deer Mountain, which might be tied to a serial killer. There is beautiful mythology building around the sects' beliefs, which run into multiple…
A 3 star rating, because i can't really help myself to feel divided with this one.
While it certainly has a story that hasn't been told many times, it also leaves (at least for me...) several questions unsolved or undeveloped, so the first part of the movie, the investigation and the eerie atmosphere building, was clearly the best for me.
The cast is solid and it has beautiful cinematograhy, but like i've said before, the conclusion seemed rushed and very "anticlimatic" for me, considering all that was built until then.
i’m just here for pastor lee jung jae
did she get an air purifier at the end tho
and this is why we don't judge people by how they look
if they wanted the demon to die so bad bc they're scared of it living outside then why are they feeding it
A punchy small-scale horror-thriller about a priest who busts exploitative religious organizations. Of course, when the movie starts, he stumbles onto a real one with an apocalyptic plan. And thankfully, he doesn't doubt it for a second.
Lee Jung-Jae (SQUID GAME) stars as the priest, but the film is a bit of a bait and switch. He's mostly there to be charming and deliver exposition, with the rest of the narrative centring around a cult member. It's fast-moving, kind of uneventful, and very dense with details (which I love), but I thought it landed in a pretty satisfying place. Its weakest moment is when it shame-facedly shows you screaming ghost faces. Stop doing that everyone!
LEE JUNG JAE SPEAKING ENGLISH GOT MY TOES CURLING IN DELIGHT 😊😊😊
me, watching any moderately commercial korean movie: too many damn cuts
like seriously all these korean male directors use 100 cuts for every single sequence. i’m gonna lose my mind. also every single male antagonist - his disturbed state is almost always derived from his traumatic upbringing or relationship regarding his mother. can mothers - honestly women in general - PLEASE exist as complex human beings other than prostitutes? can you come up with something else CAN YOU COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE
this movie does not feel, and did not turn out, as deep as it wanted to be. layers and layers of references to buddhism, religious belief, corruption, and so much more regarding the human-god relationship but... for…
Really compelling supernatural procedural just like exhuma (same director!) and wailing, this genre is a gold vein waiting to be mined deeper in korea, we need more pastors that double as detectives, columbos that deal with buddhist folklore, whose specialties are rituals for the dead, chants and salt circles, figuring out foreboding omens, I love how mundane this work actually is - deciphering sutras and interviewing lamas, no actual exorcism, but the film itself is not boring at all, the pacing is tight, the atmosphere is great, and the central mystery is really interesting.
