it's the Korean army/ghost flick right ? (tartan asia extreme)

it is

it had the potential to be really good....but as I've said..the dialogue makes them all sound like buffoons. IMO

it wasn't the dubbing because I watched the sub-titled version

I loved the story, atmosphere, and setting in that one so much that the dialogue didn't really bother me.

I agree with you,the main gripe with me was the amount of times the soldiers screamed "Asshole" at each other.If you played a drinking game where everyone had to down a shot everytime someone said "Asshole" during R-Point no one would survive past about 45 minutes,and if anybody did survive that far they would most likely be blind anyway and have a problem reading the subtitles! It's still enjoyable though:)

Tartan Asia Extreme .. watch for this label when looking for asian horror ..

Watched Natural City yesterday,I did enjoy it up to a certain point although the characters seemed a little underdeveloped to me,I guess I wanted more backstory.Still good though 7/10

Also watched Tom yum goong,Loved Ong Bak and I found this just as entertaining.8/10

Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky - OTT gore + Bad dubbing = Great fun! 7/10

R-Point.

i have to admit - i totally get where Newb is coming from on this one.
some things don't translate well cross culturally.

i liked the film overall - how it was shot - most of the acting - the idea behind it ..

but the actual ghost possession thing was kind of goofy.

(no goofier than The Evil Dead i suppose - but that was played for laughs)

i got the feeling that you were expected to take R-Point more seriously

All Night Long...kind of ---weird.
Watchable but bleh.
