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.

AKA: Goksung

Starring: Do-won Kwak, Jun Kunimura, Woo-hee Chun, Jung-min Hwang
Director: Hong-jin Na

Premise:
A strange Japanese man arrives at a rural village. Soon after people start getting a sickness which looks similar to being possessed and leads to multiple killings. A local policeman isn't sure what to make of the situation until his daughter comes down with the sickness. He hires a shaman to fight whatever has control of his daughter.
