While the story adapted from a famous folklore, the writer/director twist it sick enough to make sure that people knows that this movie ain't for the family. Honestly, I knew this movie since 2011, but never quite acknowledge its quality due to language barrier, and because I always encounter with boring K-horror.
This movie follows a man who discovered a house full of toys in the middle of the woods after he lost after a car accident. The house is belong to three siblings who have secrets inside them. What makes the movie is amazing, is how the screenplay never took a sequence to let the story dull. It keeps make me curious, confused, and most important thing, terrified to what really happens to the house. I don't like the situation somehow feels on/off though (there were scenes the MC is quite cocky to the children, but the children quickly forget it), but overall the screenplay (and also the actors) narrates the story well.
I am not quite fond of the twist, because rather than surprising, I found it very obvious. However, the story keeps the twist and things after that acceptable. Yeah, the poster surely wrote this movie is "Dark Fantasy", so that's why probably for me, some unexplained things were left unexplained. The eerie ambience sure what's probably makes this movie is original. Discovering children live in the middle of the woods, with all toys and joy, what could go wrong except that they never want you to leave? That's the feeling that never can be touched by any movie I know so far.
