Incredibly slow movie

A first observation is that it is past two hours long. The time is justifiable to help us better connect with the MC family and understand the village culture. For me, most of the scenes felt like just clips of the village, no explanation let me better understand the situation before the direction had us diving into its issues.

The characters aren't really loveable. I didn't feel the appeal to empathize with them. Or even pay attention to the movie while it was playing. I got really bored. But I appreciated not getting jump-scared by a whole bunch of random, ugly, dirty zombies that yeet out of nowhere.

If you have bad attention, this may not be your favorite film. If you enjoy films that english or literature classes would use to admire the literacy art- this is the one for you. You'll have so many parts to gawk over when you realize how your points have connected.

Another thing is that it was hard to understand who's the "good" guy or the "bad guy"
So I watched an explanation... instead of rewatching the movie- it's ridiculously long.
If you want to know... then keep reading? Because it's going to be a spoiler.

The Japanese old man - Bad. He is the devil. The taking photos.
Strange woman in a white dress - good. She set up protection for the families. When families are tempted with fear, they break the protection and acted with the Japanese man's intentions.
Shaman - bad. Working in cahoots with the Japanese evil. has a box of photos. Also removed the white dress lady's protection.
