The Guard Post, also known as 'GP506', streaming in HD on Netflix. As with many other Korean movies, this doesn't feel very focused. Horror, Drama, a whodunit mystery, a disease outbreak movie... All told, not a bad movie though. A military squad is sent to a guard post on the DMZ to investigate the murder of all the soldiers posted there save for one guy covered in blood and holding an axe. A dark and somewhat gory film, it is handsomely produced and acted and was clearly working with a decent budget. It was paced well for the mystery aspect, but I found many of the character's decisions frustratingly illogical. I suppose it could be rationalized that they weren't thinking straight by suffering from a behavior-altering viral infection. If you want to watch a movie about mounting paranoia by a group of men stationed in a remote outpost a la 'The Thing' this isn't a bad example of that genre.
