Finished the 2004 film, “R-Point” last night. A psychological horror movie set during the Vietnam War. Not too scary but very atmospheric. Not a perfect film but a good effort for Korean horror.

    I think R rated back in the early 2000 is like today’s PG 13.
    That goes for “The Host” too. I saw R Rated and I thought I’d be scared out of my mind but that was not the case at all.

    Did you hear about Lee Chang-dong’s BURNING? I’m excited that it’s back on track.

      Yeah, “R-Point” wasn’t really scary nor was it gory except for the ending, but it had some great shots and had a creepy atmosphere to mess with the audience. I didn’t think “The Host” was scary either, mostly because it had a mix of genres like dark comedy to lighten things up like most Bong Joon Ho’s films and shorts.

      I did hear about Lee Chang Dong’s new film. I read the delays were caused by copyright issues so I’m glad it’s been settled. It’s been 7 years since Poetry so I’m excited to see what he has prepared and I hope the cast brings their A-game.
