Comment:
Well, it seems that this is yet another Korean-Vietnamese coop production, this time … it’s a horror movie. Depends on who you ask, some people are either excited or unhappy about it, especially Vietnamese people. Why? If you have been watching Hanoi Bride and similar productions (like the recently aired Golden Bride), you noticed that most of the times Vietnamese are presented as an inferior ethnicity, and more often than not, just support background for which the story is driven. If you have been waiting to watch this since we posted the news about this (forget for a moment that we haven’t updated that section for awhile now), then you should watch if and judge for yourself. Some of the Korean horrors are quite good that Hollywood had began to remake them. Case in point, Ju-on => The Grudge, (1 & 2). This movie had already been released, if you can understand Korean, go watch it and let us know. For the rest of us, we have to wait a bit longer for the English subtitle to comes out.
