There have a been a few positive reviews of this K-horror here lately which left me intrigued to why this movie was rated only around the 4.5 mark. After having spent the last hour and a bit watching it I now know why. EDITING! Very poor editing, and I've seen many badly edited flicks.
The actors were fine, the story was standard fair (as Satan tries to hunt down the child now adult he was ritually given by a Satanic cult), the effects were fine for a medium budget. However the film swings one one scene to another so rapidly and far to often making it just comes off as a very incoherent plot. So flip floppy the viewer is left wondering what the heck just happened or why a scene is playing out rather allowing then soaking in the atmosphere of the movie for thrills and chills.
At best this is a middle class horror. No Hansel and Gretal or Spider Forest, and certainly K-horror directors still need to learn from there Asian cousins, the Japanese. Perhaps the best over the top horror to come out from the east is years is X-Cross. I wish more movies were as fun and at times scary as that.
