Well done
Dark. Deep. Softly sensual.I think the director of this film caught the root of the vampire genre, if that makes sense. Not distorted, just vampiric and sobrenatural in its own way - A hint of mistery, sensuality, personallity, along with the atmosphere; I really love so much the plot; The mist of Melancholic and sobrenatural go very well together. The protagonists did an amazing job at a acting, oh my god. Just the two other characters could put a little bit more realism into their acting, it felt kinda distant as I watched.
Overall, a great short movie - Perfect for getting in a vampiric mood.

Usually, I don’t review shorts unless I’m sure I’m going to be writing about them in the future so my thoughts are there on paper ahead of time, but for this one, I had to sit back and write a review.
One of the first things I noticed in this film, is that the vampire (Han Chang Ho – played by Ji Sung), is very “Johnny Depp-esque” in character. If you’ve seen some of Depp’s films such as Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, Sleepy Hollow, etc, you’ll know what I mean. This intrigued me greatly – it’s not a character role often played in films like this and it is something I enjoy. In fact, I’d even say Ji Sung pulled a Johnny Depp better than Johnny Depp in this aspect. It added a level of comedy to the film that was just right; enough to have a giggle but not take away fully from the serious aspect of what was going on.
All 4 actors in this – Ji Sung, Park So Dam, Kim Eung Soo, Jung Woo Joong; yes, even the more-support like roles – did absolutely stunning. I highly look forward to seeing more from all four of them and will be browsing their filmography in the future.
There’s been plenty of South Korean vampire pieces from 2010-2019 and a lot of them seem to blur together after a while, almost indistinguishable from one another. The Vampire Lives Next Door To Us is refreshing, comedic, and has its own symbolism that truly will stick in my mind for a while to come – and a reminder that sometimes, it’s better to go for a short than it is a feature length.
Im Sang Soo did absolutely wonders for this, and he is definitely earning a place on my favourite directors list for this one.

Feelings about movie
Feelings about movieThe Vampire Lives Next Door To Us was a fairly short 18 minute video.
From this video we can learn a short story about a boy who was a vampire and worked in a morgue. Where he meets a young girl. Which gives him, in my opinion, a new experience that he likes. However, the end of this video was quite incomprehensible and you could say strange.
However, in my opinion, the whole movie was not the best or good, so that's why it gives such results

Non so cos'ho visto ma...
Proprio vero che Ji Sung può fare qualsiasi cosa. Johnny Depp? Levati!Da quel che ho letto in giro pare che l'ispirazione di questo corto sia presa dalla tragedia del traghetto di Sewol. Un avvenimento tragico, da cui hanno tratto questo gioiellino, che ho trovato rispettoso dei morti e, al contempo, esteticamente interessante e anche leggermente sensuale. Tutti e quattro gli attori hanno recitato alla grande, il commento musicale ha contribuito con atmosfere lugubri e misteriose.
L'ambientazione in un obitorio è da brividi.
