sean s I think that it is easy now a days to expect a ton of action, special effects and gore when watching a horror movie. This movie is very low key and common place during the first 2/3rds in setting up the story. That building up time is needed to get to where it is going. This movie does much with little and builds upon itself to the end. I can't help but feel disappointed by the end though. Ha. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I must be in the minority, but I enjoyed it. Despite the heavy accent of the old woman and the very slow pace that relies on eerieness rather than scares, when the horror kicks in, it comes at you so ferociously it almost seems like Sam Raimi or Stephen King had some creative input. As a whole it's a bit clunky and some of the dialogue gets lost in translation, but all in I'll definitely remember this one for that sharp turn into nightmare territory it makes in its third act. Well done. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I STILL really want to like this movie! S---O---S ? Okay, I can understand that this is a "slow-burn" movie. It was a really long setup, but the guy was cute and the setting/scenery was pretty cool. The trailer piqued my interest and the poster was cool. Two thirds into the movie and things started to shake...but I had NO idea what was going on! Either the lady's accent was too heavy, or she was chanting something ritualistic in another language, I just couldn't understand anything. Whatever was going on in the tape recorder was also impossible to understand. Even the subtitles just said "unintelligible" and "unclear" (I sh@t you NOT)--what's the point of having subtitles if THEY can't even understand what's being said?! (Plus, the screen went too-dark-to-see-anything in the middle of a scene and you have no idea what's happening! Grr.) The one part I did understand set up some really creepy possibilities. At one point the lady leans against a window and taps out something in Morse code on the frame. She says, "I love this old house. It is always talking to me." Then the creep-factor disappears because the guy has to explain that he got a medal for learning Morse code in the scouts...and that's it. I'm not running out to earn a medal in Morse code just to figure this movie out. OH! And I JUST realized, I don't think anyone at any point in the movie said ANYTHING about opening or closing your eyes! @#%$^*&%!!! If you understood this movie, PLEASE reply and explain it to me. I'm going to try again with the sound blasting and subtitles on all the way through. I Googled all over the place to see if someone else had figured it out, but came up with nothing. I really want to understand what's going on here. I shouldn't have to work this hard to figure out a movie! NOTE TO DIRECTOR: Mr. Yun, Please just do it again. Leave the picture alone, just remix the audio to make the sound more "intelligible" for the subtitling company (dubstep, anyone?). DANG, I really want to like this!
