Dragon Hunt, 1990 – ★★

Lacks the goofy charm and energy of its predecessor—more slog than spectacle, with fewer thrills than expected.

The Boogens, 1981 – ★★★

What once terrified me as a kid now charms—silly, spooky fun with lovable little monsters and a cozy creature-feature vibe.

The Pond, 2021 – ★★

Visually eerie but narratively muddled, it leans too hard on ambiguity. If you need a guide to understand it, something’s off.

Visions, 2015 – ★★

Solid talent wasted on a script that never rises above formula. Familiar beats and cheap scares drag it down.

The Canal, 2014 – ★★

Tries to coast on atmosphere but never builds a strong enough foundation—by the time the twist hits, it’s too little, too late.

The Roundup, 2022 – ★★★

Still delivers the punches, the swagger, and that irresistible Ma Dong-seok charm. Bring on twenty more—I’ll be watching every one.

Black Cab, 2024 – ★★

Stretched thin and far too drawn out, it loses momentum early and never quite finds the road back.

Krazy House, 2024 – ★★

Tries hard to be wild and witty but lands with a thud—loud, chaotic, and rarely as smart as it thinks it is.

Greener Grass, 2019 – ★★

Surreal to a fault, it buries any real impact beneath layers of forced quirk. Feels more like a sketch reel than a cohesive film.
