All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

The Guard Post (2008)

Starring: Ho-jin Chun
Director: Su-chang Kong

Premise:
An investigative team is sent to a guard post, which over looks the DMZ, when the entire squad is murdered. Upon arrival the find one survivor

My Take:
A solid story where things are never what it seems to be. It keeps the viewer guessing with alternating between current time and flashback to the murders. And throws a bunch of different horror elements in the mix. What seems on the surface seems to be a slasher ends up being a mystery with many supernatural elements. It's very stylish and fairly gory too. Dont expect any long hair ghosts in this flick.

Rating: So Good
