      Audience Member Great Movie with a wonderfully crafted plot! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member When a detective arrives on an isolated island to investigate a murder he finds more than he's looking for in this violent mystery. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member By the film's end, the protagonist feels sick to his stomach from the sight of blood and chaos. I felt the same way, as Blood Rain's overly gory tone and nature left a little to be desired. It is a luscious looking murder mystery thriller, but other than the costumes and set design, this movie doesn't stick out from the pack in the murder mystery or period piece genre. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A very interesting movie, showing the clash between tradition and technology, faith/superstition and rational reasoning -- but the story line falls to pieces for the conclusion. And there are some really gory scenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty enjoyable Korean crime thriller in historical setting. Maybe pace limps at times in the middle, but in the finale movie succeeds to build drama. I'd recommend it to anyone who isn't allergic to Asian movies. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review flixster f Too many characters (their names didn't come easy on me) left me confused a bit too often in this foreign language flick. While I was easily able to identify the protagonist, it wasn't quite the same with some other major characters. Although I was able to get the gist of the plot as the movie ended, it was difficult to remain involved with the mystery. May have enjoyed it more had I been not at loss.
