| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.One of the best of a sub-genre I'm going to christen 'warror': war horror films. |
| Film ThreatJeremy KnoxIf you've been worn down a bit by all of the J-horror movies having to do with spooky ladies in blue makeup, this will serve as a refreshing change of pace. |
| BBC.comJamie WoolleyBy the time the grand finale rolls around, you're more baffled than terrified. |
| VarietyDerek ElleyA fresh spin on the Korean horror genre after a summer which saw the usual haunted-schoolgirl template reach burnout. |
| Eye for FilmAnton Bitelserves as a thoroughgoing allegory of the fears, suicides, inhumanity, rage and murder doomed to repeat themselves in any and every conflict, and to haunt generations to come. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[A] subtle and sneakily unsettling film that builds slowly to its unique idea of what constitutes scary. |
| User ReviewJim Skorean blair witch meets platoon bit um uneasy |
| User ReviewAaron LA chillingly effective hybrid between a Vietnam War movie and a ghost story makes R-Point the most original horror film to date! *I don't suppose Hollywood will be buying the remake rights for this movie? 'Just don't let Oliver Stone helm it!!! =-P |
| User ReviewDave SOne of the most scary movies ive ever seen a great story Scared the life out of me |
| User ReviewChris JWhat a horror film this is. If you can get past the subtitles, you will love it. This film is about a group of Korean soldiers that keep getting a distress call from an island off Vietnam. They send a group of people in to check it out, and all is not what is seems. There isnt much gore, and not much violence, just really creepy moments that hasnt been done much in other films. Class, you will love it. |
