Dasepo Naughty Girls

This week's film write up is of Dasepo Naughty Girls (which sounds rather dodgy which is the point). Based on a Korean webcomic this South Korean film is a comedy musical based around a class of a rather unusual high school where each class is for different religions/life outlooks. The class and students we look at are the atheist class full of promiscuous students (with the exception of the one eyes virgin student named "cyclops").

High school comedy/drama occurs whilst a mystery creeps up on the school as the students mysteriously start behaving well! Made me laugh out loud and very outlandish I give it a 5/5

The Warrior's Way

My first 1/5.

Bad film looking for any excuse for not well done fights. The plot: Some form of far east warrior is told to kill a baby to wipe out a rival clan and instead saves the child and runs off with it - to the American Wild West. Old clans then pursues him there intent on killing both of them and whoever else he had befriended on his way. Wasn't feeling the film at all.

Hansel and Gretel

 

Not a truly freaky horror film but an interesting one and a bit creepy. A man lacking the urge to take responsibility in life finds himself in the woods without transportation. Found by a young girl he stays the night at her family's isolated house in the wood. Things then get gradually stranger as he finds he can't get out of the woods, and that something is very wrong in the house he is staying in. A very pretty looking film with interesting cinematic fell. It is a good watch, with twists you may not see coming, but not very scary in my opinion. 4/5.

 

Lacking subtitles again :(

The Fox Family

The Fox Family is a rather strange black comedy based on old Korean mythology where mystical foxes can become human if they live 1000 years. In the film this included the need to eat a human liver. Cue the black comedy as this rather creepy family set out to find some humans to eat by the deadline. Meanwhile the eldest daughter is falling in love and the police are looking at them with suspicion when people start dying. Found it amusing but strange, was not so much a fan of the musical interludes - 4/5.

 

Couldn't find English sub version of the trailer - sorry!

Hello Ghost

This film I started watching on a Korean Air flight when I visited Seoul. The flight ended before the film did hence I ended up buying a copy for which I ended up very happy to have.

Another comedy (I promise I do watch things other than comedies). You wouldn't think it was a comedy though from the opening as a man is attempting to commit suicide. This is a comedy with ultimate life lessons and heart-warming at the end. Again I'll try to be spoiler free. Let me just sum up the film as a suicidal man starts seeing ghosts who start demanding he fulfil their wishes before moving on. In the process of fulfilling these requests he comes out of his shell and starts interacting with the world again.

Afraid I couldn't find the trailer with English subtitles...

this may be a recurring problem.
