The plot was not paced well. I didn't care about the background story, since it was not gradually presented in an interesting way. There is nothing fresh nor groundbreaking about this concept, so one could at least expect amazing execution.
Technically speaking, the movie could still be interesting, if it had a well written set of characters. The Chosen: Forbidden Cave sadly, presents us with empty shells with no interesting traits. A good majority of the cast has a low level of energy, and the only character that presents a semi-personality is Joo Hye In, but even she has been toned down to just a background witness of the plot. While the cast is doing a good job, there is not much to the characters in the first place.
The soundtrack was questionable at best. The final confrontation became comedic with the choice of background music for it. Not to mention the CGI. The design for the demons was just a tragic miss.
Overall... don't watch it. There are better horrors that revolve around shamanism.

The Rope Curse 2 for sure had a bigger budget than the first movie, but it also had worse scriptwriting and directing. Nothing felt connected, the big reveal about the evil being at the end was not set up properly through the film either. For me, it was just hard to care about anything happening on the screen, because I was not entertained or engaged.
The acting was passable. I have not seen Lee Kang Sheng in any other movie or show, so his questionable performance and somewhat weak line delivery might have been the result of poorly written script.
It honestly felt more like a US remake and not an Asian horror movie. It was filled with cheap jump scares, shallow characters, loosely connected plot points and lack of overall depth.
