Korean Horror–It’s A Tossup!

Korean Horror–it’s a real mixed bag.All right! We got fresh content coming in from Korea this time around, and that means a good chance at another fantastic scary movie. And this time, the chance is better than normal. Check out the plot of Black House: an insurance claims adjuster investigates a decrepit house, and what he finds will blow his mind. Suicides. Murder. And the farther into the horrible, horrible house he gets, the more terrifying things will get. Finally, we’re promised a downright “blood-soaked ending”.

Now, when I hear that a horror flick is coming out of Korea, I’m usually skeptical. Korean horror movies have something of a dubious track record based on what I’ve seen so far. The good ones are downright fantastic, with lots of blood and action and everything you could hope for in a solid horror movie. The bad ones, however, aren’t bad…they’re boring. Bad Korean horror is universally (that I’ve seen so far, anyway) unnecessarily heavy in dialogue. Don’t believe me? Just try getting through Whispering Corridors sometime. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But still! We got a good chance of something good this time—sure doesn’t look like our insurance adjuster’s going to have many people to talk to!—and until that shining day, we’ve got plenty of horror movie trivia on Kwanzoo.
