H (2002). A slow burning Korean flick that seems to borrow heavily from Silence of the Lambs and Sevin. While some of the imagery is rather disturbing, this is not a tense flick. This one seems to rely most heavily on the story itself, and while it was was well acted, their characters are not so important in the telling of this story. This is in itself an odd thing because their characters reveal so much history that should have been animated by their tortured pasts. Somehow, they remain pretty flat. Though the story itself was strong enough to carry it this flick, most will probably find the lightness of the characters to be a disappointment. The end was definitely worthy, and the last scene was powerful. For those that appreciate slow burning, rich Korean story-telling might just might really appreciate this one. Ashe.
