I’ve been a fan of Asian horror movies for quite a while. And looking for something to watch I found The Eye (Gin Gwai). This film is a little old already, it aired 17 years ago, but although in this last decade a lot of horror movies came out, until now, not many of them…
Warriors of the Dawn (2017) – Korean Movie Review
I decided to start watching war movies, so that brought me to Warriors of the Dawn. A movie that was released in 2017 with a great cast and an interesting plot, at least in the beginning. Coming from epic movies such as The Last Supper or Roaring Currents, this one might feel a little poor.…
Rough Cut Korean Movie Review 2008

On the other hand, The Last Supper is just perfect. One of Lu Chuan’s masterpieces. I wouldn’t enjoy you to miss this fantastic production…
Marebito Japanese Movie Review 2004
As you may know, we’re Asian horror fans. Sadly, the American version of it, has nothing to do to surpass the quality of stories and so many good, electrifying plots. This weekend I watched Marebito. A movie that so many of you proclaimed as one of the best. Instead of that, it became somewhat a…
