Black Phone 2 (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): He’s back, of course.
“Black Phone 2” is a sequel which is seemingly unnecessary at first but turns out to be more entertaining than expected. While it is closely connected with its predecessor in terms of story and characters, the movie wisely avoids being … Continue reading
Oddity (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A piece of oddity
“Oddity” is a little but effective horror film which gradually reveals what it is about as patiently building up its creepy atmosphere and suspense along the story. While it is rather simple in terms of story and characters, the movie … Continue reading
Idiot Girls and School Ghost: School Anniversary (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A cheerful (and spooky) high school horror comedy film
I could not help but get tickled more than once while watching South Korean film “Idiot Girls and School Ghost: School Anniversary”, which is as ridiculously funny as its rather long title suggests. Clearly influenced by not only “Whispering Corridors” … Continue reading
Presence (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A presence in the house
Steven Soderbergh has tried many different things during last several years. Although he announced his decision to retire around the time when he gave us “Side Effects” (2013) and “Behind the Candelabra” (2013), he came back in business with little … Continue reading

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Still zany and rambunctious
Tim Burton’s new film “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is as quintessential as you can expect from Burton. The story itself is more or less than a mere ground for many odd, quirky, and grotesque stuffs to be presented here and there, but … Continue reading
Exhuma (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A bad grave
Good horror movies usually need a substantial amount of conviction for making themselves work, and South Korean horror film “Exhuma” has plenty of that. While I do not believe much of what its main characters talk about, the movie did … Continue reading
All of Us Strangers (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A personal ghost story
Andrew Haigh’s latest film “All of Us Strangers” is a gentle and intimate personal ghost story about loss, grief, loneliness, and love. Starting with a supernatural story premise, the movie gradually delves into the troubled state of mind of its … Continue reading
Sleep (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her husband’s disturbing sleeping problem
South Korean film “Sleep” seems to be a certain kind of story and then ends up becoming something much different. This is an odd mix of horror thriller and black comedy swinging back and forth somewhere between “The Exorcist” (1973) … Continue reading

The Shining (1980) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): A Madness Odyssey
Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining”, whose 4k remastered version was recently released by a local movie theater chain in South Korea, is utterly eerie for its baroque uncertainty. As its three main characters are hopelessly isolated inside its vast and ominous … Continue reading
