Pleasant surprise - based on the Netflix description it sounded pretty slow - but this genre-bending Korean horror keeps up the pace for its over-long
two and a half hours. Typically useless Korean-movie cop, Do-wan Kwak, investigates a string of bizarre and violent murders in his small mountain town. Previously normal people are turning into psychopaths - is it the official
explanation of toxic mushrooms? (SPOILER: no)

Thoroughly enjoyed it with a gripping police investigation as increasingly bemused and desperate cops try and work out what is going on. The arrival of
a shaman doesn't make stuff much clearer but he does try a bat-shit exorcism which is 10x more fun than the crap we get from the Christian church.

Slightly disappointing ending with not-really-sensical twists but I was in a forgiving mood having enjoyed the rest of it.

If it matters, I liked the film as well even though the ending is confusing.

My review of it (which I think I may have posted here before):

"A police officer in a small town investigates a series of murders. Each
murder seemed to be committed by someone who had fallen ill with a
mystery disease shortly before the killings. The locals suspect that the
events are linked to a mysterious Japanese man who lives in a shack in
the woods. When the police officer's daughter falls ill, he is determined
to find out what is going on. With a runtime of two and a half hours,
this Korean film is too long and whilst its odd mix of themes and
baffling plot keep you watching, you don't really get any answers."

Too many twists.

Felt like the first twist was maybe a bit predictable so they re-twisted it back or something. But in the context of the final twist whole chunks of the film didn't make sense: the exorcism, the Japanese man crying under the cliff, the aborted car journey to Seoul.
