ThiefHott Too much of everything

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Ben Larson Su-chang Kong, who was also a writer on Tell Me Something, wrote and directed this Vietnam War film. Based upon what I have seen, he shows much promise as a director.The film is supposedly based upon legend about the area. Soldiers - Korean, Vietnames, American, and French - enter the area and never return. Maybe they are paying for their sins.A Korean unit is sent into the area after us. radio messages are received. Nothing is as it seems. How can the dead send radio messages Will the soldiers end up like all the rest? It is a film of terror and fear. No FX, little gore, and no nudity, It is a cerebral exercise in horror - the horror of war.

thisissubtitledmovies excerpt, full review at my location.It almost sounds like any schoolboys dream: war and horror in one package. However, watching this supernatural Vietnam War movie is much more of a nightmare than a dream, but in the best possible way. The movie was released in Korea in 2004, with the title R-Point, and is the fourth highest grossing Korean horror film of all time. It is now being released here on DVD as Ghosts Of War, exclusively available from Sainsbury's.For any fan of Asian horror, Ghosts Of War is an absolute must - and sure to please. It has had huge success in its native country of South Korea, and when you see it, you can see why. It has enough suspense, tension, fear and paranoia to keep anyone awake for days. After watching Ghosts Of War, you will be left with no doubt in your mind that war is indeed hell, albeit good, scary fun!

TheOnlyJorge r-point is a cursed place on a battlefield where something terrible happened over thirty years ago. now a group of soldiers have found this place and are going to stay there while hiding from enemies.what these soldiers do not know is that this place is haunted by spirits of the past's dead. soon strange things begin happening and the men are not sure what they should do. many do not believe in spirits but what is happening cannot be explained any other way.r-point is a very scary movie in a non traditional way. it builds suspense and terror slowly by using the soldiers of the present and the ghosts in the past. the results are great, intense, and truly frightening.if you are a horror fan you need to check this one out, even if you do not like foreign movies. it is a great creepy film.

refresh daemon R-Point is an example of the rare genre hybrid of the war/horror movie. Other notable examples include Apocalypse Now and Jacob's Ladder; however, R-Point is a more direct war/horror hybrid, with supernatural goings-on and your traditional Asian she-ghost.Although the premise of the film holds a lot of potential for the exploration of war themes, particularly in regards to reflections on the sins committed during war and the slow descent into madness that's well exhibited in Apocalypse Now as well as other issues dealing with the horrors of war. And although the film does deal, to some degree with the horrors of war, the film is primarily a horror film set against a war backdrop.Specific weaknesses of the film include poorly developed characters (it's difficult to be afraid if you're not attached to the characters), stereotypical and predictable horror moments (including reveals that aren't exactly surprising, considering the non-mysterious nature of the supernatural forces), and somewhat contrived script which sets things up too conveniently for the events of the movie.The story could've been better, along with the execution. There are some thrills and chills and that slow creepy Asian horror vibe that some people enjoy, so it's not a total loss. The primary problem with the film is that it looks like it's trying to make a larger comment on Korean involvement in Vietnam, but it fails because it spends too much time focusing (somewhat poorly) on the supernatural horror elements of the film.It's okay. You could do better, as far as horror and war films go, but if you're interested in an East Asian take on the war/horror film, this is all you have to choose from. 6/10
