Featured review
Good horror anthology...
As I stumbled upon the 2021 South Korean horror movie, of course I opted to sit down and watch it, on account of it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And given my fascination with both horror and Asian cinema, of course it was a given to have to watch "Goe-Gi-Maen-Syon" (aka "Ghost Mansion").
Writer and director Jo Ba-Reun actually did a good job here with the small stories and segments. Yeah, this was an anthology, which I wasn't aware of. But the stories are nicely connected to one another and while each story is a stand-alone story, the connections to each other story was just nicely constructed and made for a more wholesome viewing experience. Normally I am not overly keen on horror anthologies, but this one was quite good.
The acting performances in the stories were good and they had a good cast ensemble together for fleshing out the characters and bringing the stories to life.
Visually then "Goe-Gi-Maen-Syon" was quite good. This wasn't a shock and awe inspiring horror anthology, but more of a dark, brooding and slow burning kind, where atmosphere was really important. And they pulled it off nicely, because these stories permeated in dark atmosphere.
I was genuinely entertained by writer and director Jo Ba-Reun's "Goe-Gi-Maen-Syon". And if you enjoy Asian horror cinema, then it is quite worth checking out.
My rating of "Goe-Gi-Maen-Syon" lands on a six out of ten stars.
