If you're in the mood for South Korean folklore and a really creepy sensory aspect... why not try this one out.

Huh Jung takes a concept which in other hands could have been daft or schlocky, and crafts something that's both haunting and accomplished

An uneven but meritorious horror film that begins from a classic premise: the family as the origin and/or victim of evil. (Complete review in Spanish in the Mexican newspaper Reforma).

Once again South Korea attracts us to the movie theater with the generic voice of horror. Now presented to us in the most sordid reality, as in the most cruel of decoys. [Full Review in Spanish]

There’s definitely an audience for Mimic (2017) among die-hard horror fans, but something about it just didn’t sit right with me. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly where it falters — maybe it’s the off-kilter pacing that never quite finds its rhythm, or the performances that feel just a bit too strained to fully sell the premise. Whatever the reason, I found myself shifting in my seat, more focused on how much time was left than what was happening onscreen.

The actions of the protagonist is illogical. Doesnt make sense at all. The ending was terrible. While the movie tried to have an emotional ending scene, it failed terribly. Instead, by then end of the film I was hoping the main character was brutally killed. I felt really cheated of my time watching this terrible film. It only deserves 1 star because the little girl's acting is good. Otherwise, the film deserves 0 stars.

Entertaining, good story, a little trouble understanding at the beginning, but I would watch it again just because.

The Jang-san tiger can apparently mimic voices and trick people into his cave. Despite the weird tiger and the poorly constructed cave scenes, it's a decent South Korean thriller.

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.
