Kumiho

About This Movie

Kumiho (2015) has this eerie, unsettling vibe that really creeps under your skin. The pacing is slow, almost methodical, but it builds tension beautifully. It’s got that classic cabin-in-the-woods setup, and Chulsoo’s missteps resonate with anyone who’s ever let curiosity get the better of them. The performances feel raw, which works for the story’s dark themes, especially when you consider how isolation messes with the psyche. The practical effects here are solid. They lend a tactile quality that CGI just can’t replicate. You can really see the filmmakers' commitment to creating an immersive atmosphere, even if the director remains a mystery. It’s a film that lingers in your mind, for better or worse.

Great example of effective practical effects in horror. · Captures the unsettling tension of isolation. · Explores themes of curiosity and danger.
