Nina m Honestly, I just just finished this movie and I am so disappointed in the ending. It made me so mad I had to make an account and rate it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Michael C Great horror love Korean horror movies!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Regina P So... I liked the concept. I may even love the concept. A ghost that uses your most painful or fondest memories to mimic and thus ensnare you-- brilliant! It's not unique, but it's a good concept for a horror film. The concept works as a moral lesson for healing. However, the movie doesn't quite capitalize the way it should have. I feel like, with a concept like that, I should not have felt bored as often as I did throughout the film. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Past midnight, this movie is somewhat freaky. Caught this on TV just past midnight, and was watching with dim lighting, which definitely set the ambience. There are some horror movie clichés and definitely plot holes, but overall it's a pretty decent and entertaining film, just don't go in expecting award winning, complex writing & characters. I found the acting, atmosphere and cinematography to be quite decent. There are intense and scary moments, and the make-up is pretty good, especially on the Tiger, who's popping out from every single angle. The girl is also pretty freaky when you think about it. As others have noted, her innocence is what makes it her scary. I recommend it if you have some spare time and like Asian horror movies. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I have a soft spot for Asian horror films. While the movie does move at a slow pace, it does continually build suspense. Sure, there are some clichés in the movie, but a positive benefit is that the movie is without jump scares. Some viewers might find the ending to be "infuriating" as it defers from a traditional feel good ending, but let's be honest here. Most horror movies involve regular people dealing with grief or trauma while simultaneously battling supernatural entities. The movie is ultimately about a woman dealing with grief and trying to keep her family together. The main characters household is charitable to a deadly fault. Ultimately, the woman's grief defies all rational logic as she is continuously warned about the impending perils she's facing. The concept of a mimic, an entity that mirrors the voice of a loved one, may not be the most innovative monster. However, the movie portrays the creature in an interesting way. If you're a fan of Asian movies that deal with human trauma and the supernatural, this may be a good watch for you. One word of caution, this is a horror movie and horror protagonist always make dumb mistakes. The cinematography was great, the acting was believable, but there were no memorable scores or music to really drive it home. Ultimately, I think it's worth a watch if you don't mind a slow build up. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review dustin d The Mimic is an intense and disturbing horror film, that wonderfully draws on Korean mythology and Jungian archetypes to create a resonating story. Karl Jung had said your god will eat you alive, and this movie perfectly portrays that, with striking imagery. It is not just scary, but has emotional variety as well. Much better than average horror film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
