Reviews
[ Haewa Dal ]
The best quality of this part is the amazing use of sounds and silence. While it does at times rely too heavily on jump scares, some scenes have built an amazing atmosphere with the use of strategically placed silence and slow motion. I was on the edge of my seat and wanted the scene to end because I felt all tense and needed to know what would happen. That's when they stretch it out with slow motion and ambient sounds. This setup was extremely effective.
What's more, I appreciate how the 2nd half of the story rather than going with supernatural horror, showed the true horror of reality and how terrifying people can be.
[ Fear Plane ]
I don't have much to say about this story. It was... boring. The idea itself was nice and it could be used to create an interesting thriller, it just did not work when framed as a horror story. The ending did not make much sense. Neither the human nor the supernatural aspect was scary.
[ Kongji, Patzzi ]
For such a short story there were simply too many elements and it couldn't end right. They should have picked either the rivalry between sister, the husband's story or the supernatural element and developed just one, but well... we can't always have what we ask for. The "scary" scenes were quite funny and ridiculous at times. Definitely overdone with how gruesome they were supposed to look.
[ Ambulance ]
Nothing worse than too much shaky camera in a zombie movie. The plot was as unoriginal as possible. The ending was extremely predictable from the beginning.
Overall, I believe they had nice ideas for all the short stories, but no direction at all. In all of them the human element was supposed to be the true horror. The ghosts and supernatural beings were there just for jump scares. The first story was directed the best, and I would recommend ending the watch on this one.
Since all the stories were directed by different people and plot wise have no connection to each other, we can easily treat them as short separate horror movies, instead of one production.
