4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice Korean horror film., July 30, 2007

This review is from: Bloody Reunion (DVD)

Through the past couple of years the Korean film industry have made a couple of amazing films and have been more recognized with mainstream audiences. The good thing about Bloody Reunion is that it tells an original storyline instead of being yet another Ringu or Ju-on rippoff I think that the female ghost with long black hair has been done a million times before so its refreshing to see something different. Bloody reunion is a full blooded slasher film, a group of South Korean former class mates are invited to a reunion in a nice cottage located in the countryside. They meet one of their old teachers who is now in a wheelchair however tension and resentment within the group start to surface as the evening progresses and before long a mysterious figure wearing a rabbit mask starts violently killing the group one by one, there were a few nasty looking torture scenes as well as the deaths being very gruesome one character is forced to eat razor blades which is not like the typical supernatural horror film from Asia and the plot was very clever you wouldn't figure out the twist at the end and it was fairly interesting at its subject matter, I think it was about the value of friendship so its also a psychological thriller/drama. We soon find out what psychological damage the bad teacher has inflicted on her students even though some scenes were a bit melodramatic the film was terrific and very compelling to watch, the film was also visually stunning and nicely shot. I was very impressed with this film even though its not perfect the film was very good, if you liked Bloody Reunion then I highly recommend these other Korean horror films Tale of two sisters, Phone (A ringu rippoff but still good), The doll master, Into the mirror and Tell me something.

3.0 out of 5 stars 80's style slasher with a Korean twist.., March 10, 2007

This review is from: Bloody Reunion (DVD)

To sum it up, not too bad for what it is. The film has no pretensions; there are no veneers or splashes of high art to be found. Basically an amalgamation of 80's slashers, expect everything but the kitchen sink, gaping plot holes, and plenty of blood. The story itself is borderline ridiculous and entirely unbelievable while the characters are one dimensional and generally uninteresting. Having said this, the execution is well done, some of the scenes quite startling, and there is sufficient bloodshed to meet's one's deranged expectations. The acting, though hystrionic at times, is uniformly impressive. The film doesn't tread any new territory, but sometimes, while sitting with the lights dimmed low and curled up on the couch, it's reassuring to know what's coming around the corner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Teaching The Teacher--A Blood Soaked Party Of Regret And Retribution, October 13, 2010

This review is from: Bloody Reunion (DVD)

I must admit that I'm very fond of the original American title for the Korean horror film "Bloody Reunion." The deeply ironic "To Sir With Love" is not only a delightfully kitschy homage to the Sidney Poitier up-with-teachers classic, but a wickedly perverse thwarting of expectations! Taking its cues from the slasher genre, "Bloody Reunion" is a deft, creative, and surprising film.

"Bloody Reunion" is staged in a remote country cottage. Former students come to pay their respects to a teacher who is now in the last stages of her life. From this celebratory event, a darkness starts to reveal itself. Past grudges re-surface and confrontations are forced changing the idyllic party into an open forum catharsis of the demons that have haunted them all collectively and individually. It seems the teacher may not have been the perfect role model--in fact, she kept her own son, deformed since birth, locked up in the basement during his formative years. As the drama escalates, so does the body count. From the character introductions to the way the students are colorfully dispatched, you might think this is a by-the-numbers presentation of slasher carnage. But "Bloody Reunion" still has some refreshing surprises up its sleeve (but I won't go any further in my description). What has been a fun, but slight, entertainment ultimately reveals itself to be quite a good film in its own right!

There are several aspects that push "Bloody Reunion" ahead of the pack. First, the performances were absolutely terrific. Even within the limitations of "character types," the actors really had opportunities to shine. Their pain and anger and regret is palpable and heartfelt, and I fell for the genuine emotion quite wholeheartedly. Even at the end, where the antics are at a fever pitch--I thought the actors remained quite true. Second, the murders are pleasantly gruesome and ingenious. And third, the film's final reveal packs quite a wallop. A truly entertaining set-up that just grows deeper and more interesting, "Bloody Reunion" is definitely worth a look. And not even a spot of black vomit or a black haired ghost girl in sight like almost every other Asian horror film on the market! That's a big plus. KGHarris, 10/10.
