Not worth it

It felt like watching the same thing over and over. .The movie is long, kind of felt bored. It is just dragged to much. However, It has a unique concept to some extend as in horror movies, we typically get to see a ghost to enter someone's body and possessed it. But, in this movie shape shifter is kind of new. A demonic spirit or I donno what to referred it, can change shapes and faces too.

Asian Horror adapting the common Exorcism movie

I love Asian horror movies. It's surprising how this movie focuses on exorcism which I am not used to. Korean horror movies are often about ghosts or psychological horror. Culturally, it is not common for Koreans to be religious (Catholics) but the beliefs of spirits and how they can manifest based on cultural beliefs which, happens to be a unique trait for Asian's horror movies.

There were some creepy parts that I like so I am not ditching this out.

Enjoyable enough if somewhat too cliché exorcism effort

After moving to a new house, a man and his family welcome a series of new changes in their life, but when they come into contact with a series of strange incidents that lead them to believe a malicious spirit is targeting the family to cause them to distrust each other, they turn to a disgraced priest friend to help them.

Overall, this one was a decent enough if generally forgettable effort. Among its few positives are the sporadic supernatural elements at play here that signal something is happening. The way that the build-up occurs around the family, from the behavior of their neighbor cutting up animals in his house that he writes off as carpet-cutting to the daughter's dream of being abused by their father and the crazed breakfast where the mother gorges herself before threatening everyone, all comes together quite well. The fact that this makes mention of the uncharacteristic behavior they're exhibiting and how everyone starts behaving manages to offer up some interesting action scenes later on where the daughters are chased around the house by demonic doppelgangers of the parents in separate scenes, making it nearly impossible for them to know who to trust when. As well, despite being predictable there's a lot to like here from the exorcism sequences featured. From the first scene of the film where we get the traditionally failed exorcism attempt on the girl in her apartment, there's a rather strong genre atmosphere that gets played into later on. Using the guilt of what happened to the girl for the reluctance to perform the exorcism later on that becomes the point of their encounters as the entire sequence plays off with the idea of whether or not the sins have been effectively resolved. These factors manage to be enough to hold this one up for the most part. There are a few problems with this one. One of the biggest issues is the predictable and cliched story that plays on every single trope found in exorcism efforts. Not only is this one completely obvious about the family getting targeted simply because of the demons' plan to toy with the priest rather than being given a different less obvious motivation. As well, the exorcism scenes with glassy, unnaturally-colored demon eyes, spouting blood from their mouth, cursing in foreign languages and twisting their body into contortionist poses as signs that the individual is possessed and needing to be dealt with causes these scenes to be overly-familiar and less effective than expected. The last problem here is the measured pacing that drags this out way too long than necessary. Despite being a creepy setup, the exploits with the neighbor go nowhere after calling the cops on him which gets resolved off-screen anyway rendering the entire subplot here a waste of time. The scenes involving the other priests in the order arguing over potential rules for exorcism and the problems of citizens falling out of faith with the church serve no purpose here. None of the characters are integral to the plot, there's nothing that develops from them and all they do is disrupt the flow of the film to detail how the Korean diocese goes about its duties, making this one feel slower and longer than it should. Overall, these here are what hold this one back.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
