Inhyeongsa (2004, KOR) C-93m. **½ D: Jeong Yong-ki. Starring Kim Yu-mi, Lim Eun-kyeong, Shin Hyeong-tak, Ok Ji-young. Korean horror film about five strangers who are invited to a mansion in the woods for a photo shooting. It turns out there's a doll maker living there, who tells them about the life of dolls and their vengeance when they are abandoned. Rather shallow horror with stylistic flourishes picks up in the second half, with some convincing performances. There's an Italian, almost Dario Argento-esque feel over the proceedings. Written by the director. English title: THE DOLL MASTER. |
