      JJJJJJ J Visually beautiful this film may have had potential to be great. The main problem is that the plot is just confusing/not very good/not engaging. Which ever of the three it just takes away from the movie. I couldn't not really get into. This film seemed like it wanted to be emotionally gripping yet I never really felt engaged on that level. I my inability to understand the plot is the reason why. At times it was hard to tell if there was suppose to be some sort of monster/unknown evil or just one man losing his mind. In the end I think it was the second, but this just was not clear early enough on in the film and once you find out the main "antagonists" story it is really too late to create any real meaning full story from it. Film could have been much better. There are so many better movies than this one out there I would recommend that people look to other places for their entertainment. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Creepy, atmospheric psychological horror. Beautifully shot. Enigmatic and filled with paranoia. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member the script leaves much to be desired for it feels as cold, sterile and desolate as the Antarctic! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing to special or creepy from a director of much better films. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A well-acted Korean film that I enjoyed, even though I found it a bit predictable as it went along. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Here's two hours I wish I could get back. Much like the expedition the Koreans embark on; the movie drags on and on. The ending isn't so much a climax but more as a pebble you barely feel under your shoe. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
