Daily Horror Scavenger Hunt - July 2018
11. A horror movie with a supernatural theme
I really like this Vietnam War set ghost story. It’s about a group of soldiers who set off to find another group of soldiers that went missing and all sorts of spooky things happen. I revisit this one every couple of years and it always holds up. It’s got some talky parts, but the atmosphere is terrific with a desolate abandoned fort setting in the middle of some grasslands.
It’s a slow burn, but the effective parts are super creepy and I love the unexpected ending.
Bananameter: 🍌 even in the middle of absolutely nowhere somebody is still gonna manage to piss off a long haired dead girl 🍌

During the Vietnam War, a radio transmission from a platoon thought dead causes the Korean military to send another squad to the group’s last known coordinates, the titular R-Point.
Screenwriter Kong Su-chang (Tell Me Something) got behind the director’s chair for two horror films putting the Korean military at odds with the undead. The first of these supernatural skirmishes leans heavily on psychological horror, where despite an increasing body count, there is a question about whether the hauntings are actually responsible for the misfortunes. Kam Woo-sung captains this makeshift ensemble, with a roll call that features Lee Sun-Kyun, Son Byong-ho, Kim Byeong-cheol, Gi Ju-bong, and Ahn Nae-sang. Despite some of these faces exiting early, all the parts have substance, with…

Director Kong Su-chang made two kickass military horror that almost everyone is unaware of.
This & The Guard Post two of the most underrated scary horror flicks ive seen from south korea. Although i still cant get over Guard Post but R-Point is little bit better from technical pov. R-Point took place on vietnam war with a creepy setting & bone chilling score. Backed up by decent acting performance by some familiar tier B actors. This one also kept it mystery for quite time like guest post, had me guessing till it unfolds in climax.
Sadly director vanished after making these two under the radar horror flick, the reason must be box office failure :( Korean industry need him now badly. Please Kong Su-chang come back again & make more military kickass horror flicks.

Rising tension and dissent among South Korean troops chasing literal ghosts during the Vietnam War in a no-go zone of ancient ruins considered sacred by the Vietcong.
This Korean ghost yarn gets much right, like giving its ensemble cast time to build individual qualities and form comradery, but falters when it could have easily been more meaningful. The mounting paranoia facilitated by phantom radio transmissions, transparent fighting men, and possession all leads to a resolution that can be assumed early on. At a certain point American soldiers show up and their English-speaking acting is just terrible. Probably the same reaction of Korean audiences upon hearing Korean spoken in American films.With more finesse, R-Point could have crafted itself into an…

I watched it again, and still really enjoyed it. This movie should be regarded as a classic among Korean horror films.
This is a Korean ghost movie. During the Vietnam War, a small group of Korean soldiers were led to Romeo Point by solving a signal. Except for the fact that all the people who appeared in them were ghosts, it was like moving "The Ring" to the battlefield. There are also many scenes of trust between people and hallucinations between people and ghosts in the film, which are similar to "The Valley of Souls".
Watching the movie I believe they were all ghosts from the beginning. The final ending showed that only the blind soldier in the entire team…

A Korean platoon goes to an area called R-Point in search for another unit that have gone missing. Once there, there are unseen forces making it impossible for them to leave.
This is a Korean supernatural war tale with a great premise and atmosphere that’s aided by its location shooting in Cambodia. It’s unfortunate that the poor execution and characterization prevents it from being great. The build up it’s pretty slow with a wild finish in the last act. It is left up to the viewers as to why this place is haunted, which may affect your enjoyment of the film.
Watched in Korean with English subtitles.

A film which starts off as an intriguing story with potential for plenty of scares goes on to establish a spooky location and just as you think it's going to kick up a gear and start delivering the goods, it just...slows...and...stops.
It's bizarre, the director seems to want to get the 'scares' out of the way to concentrate on a whole lot of walking and talking which is always much more interesting, right? When the scares do come up, they're so underwhelming and put right in front of your eyes so there is no mystery and nothing for your imagination to play with.
Disappointing.

Heavy on atmosphere and characters. A solid payoff even if the ghost content is a pretty familiar. It's underlying theme a pretty obvious one. Though considering we have a new Modern Warfare with yet more "interesting" re-purposing of actual war crimes as NOT US, MUST OF BEEN THE OTHER DUDES, perhaps being subtle about the primary victims of war shouldn't always be the go to method. At its core R Point is an old haunted house chiller. Paced out well and designed with enough location variety and reveals to keep it interesting. Definitely going to look into if there's a solid blu ray available as opposed to the decent, but wonky YouTube upload.

Daily Horror Hunt #77 (November 2024)
11. Today is Armistice Day | Remembrance Day | Veterans Day. Interpret this however you wish and watch a horror film accordingly.I loved this in theory, but its execution is a little rough. The themes of trauma of war and the price for vets is phenomenal, but it could use polish and editing. You know how Hollywood loves to remake Asian horror. Well, this one would actually work well and would actually gain a little for American audiences to switch the perspectives.

Cinema Base Challenge: Halloween Special
8. Хоррор, релизнутый когда вам было 13 лет 🟢👹Что же вышло на экраны, когда мне было 13 лет? А вот такой вышел азиатский фильм в 2004-м году. Средний малобюджетный ужастик из Кореи. Фильм в принципе, не лишён своего обаяния, за счёт своего национального колорита. Синопсис. 1974 год. Война во Вьетнаме. Отряд спецназовцев, посланный на задание в самое сердце вьетнамских джунглей пропадает без вести. Через полгода, на военной базе, радист ловит позывные этой группы и просьбу о помощи. Командование собирает группу из 10-ти профессионалов и забрасывает её в джунгли. Цель команды — найти пропавший отряд и выяснить, что же с ним произошло.
Хорошо в фильме выделяется актёр Кам У Сон в главной роли, он похож…

52 Years In 52 Weeks: 202354/100
Finally got around to putting this on after owning this since the DVD came out almost 20 years ago. Trouble is the disc was faulty. It's long out of print, the company I bought it from are gone and Tartan who released it are also no more. Not on streaming or available digitally. Had to rely on it being ripped online!
The film itself was pretty slow, a Vietnam war movie with a paranormal undertone that really cranks up in the final third. It is relatively unique and relies less on gore and more on paranoia. Just took a bit too long to get going and the pay off was far from satisfying.

Fairly standard in terms of narrative and characters, but more than worthy of its Platoon-meets-The Haunting premise thanks to its slow, constant build-up of tension and moodily beautiful cinematography. This reminds me of the kind of ghost story you might tell around a campfire - it’s familiar, but somehow gripping in its familiarity. Needs more Creedence Clearwater Revival, though. You can’t have a real Vietnam movie without overdoing it on the CCR.
