The four films in this set do share similar themes and of course, the same setting, but each of them brings something different to the theme. If you are looking for outright gore or torture porn, don’t waste your time; these movies rely on atmosphere, on a build-up of creepiness to a pitch of tencion. They also focus on characterisation, on creating characters you actually care about. They touch on dangerous and challenging topics, such as child cruelty, same-sex relationships, and the vestiges of Japanese colonialism in Korea. Yet they manage to be successful as horror stories. And you get four for an incredibly low price, which can’t be sneered at. A lot of quality entertainment for very little cash.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is a great box set to fall on when you are looking for something to do. I found that a couple of the films are hard to find on their own, but this way, I could asure that I was getting the whole lot.
The films are very similar, but luckily they are all very enjoyable. Some are scarier than others, but they all have interesting characters and are really well told. My personal favourite is ‘Wishing Stairs’, I think that’s beause it’s the most relatable.
To summarize, if you like K-Horror, this is a must have, you are not a K-Horror fan til you have this in your collection.
