Into the Mirror

Korean horror film which at least tries something a bit different instead of imitating Ringu etc. The idea is pretty good - no wonder it was "borrowed" by Hollywood. But, they don't really know what to do with it. The film has too many subplots, ideas and characters; and at almost 2hrs it's just too long.

Plenty of really cool camera shots and visuals, though there are a few camera sweeps at the beginning that I found a little over-done; pretty neat plot as well, though the main character really lacks energy; that may be intentional due to his back story, but it is slightly annoying in any case. Overall, this movie is highly recommended, especially if you are a fan of Asian horror.

This film which inspired Hollywood's 'Mirrors' has some visually striking and genuinely creepy moments, along with some excellent suspense (although the tension-building music was overdone at times). The lead actor didn't seem to be very into it but the rest of the cast do an above par job. The movie lags a bit and becomes increasingly more dialogue heavy towards the end yet the main character doesn't become any more interesting. Still, there is more depth to be found here than expected.

Conventional, not very interesting, horror movie. This viewer did not make it to the conclusion.

Visually inventive but mostly uninspired Korean horror film. Starts out surprisingly good then gets duller and duller by the minute.
