Review :

Interesting, but flawed film

If you're at all familiar with Lars von Trier's THE KINGDOM, that will give you an idea of what this film is like. If not, think of a mix of ER with THE X FILES, and you'll have an idea. I enjoyed the film, but it never seemed to decide what it really wanted to be - it was nominated for an international fantasy film award, and that aspect is definitely there.

Just a few things that struck me as peculiar:

1. The film began with a flashback by one of the main characters, although at the end there seemed no real reason to set it up this way - it was established early in the film that Min (Dr. K) and a female medical student were good friends.

2. Min (a 4th year medical student) seemed to be doing a lot of neurosurgery for a medical student - strange that all the bad cases came in when none of the regular doctors were around / available. But none of the patients he treated (3 or 4 acknowledged in the film) died - in fact, they all recovered even though the chief neurosurgeon said he wouldn't have touched them. Of course, for the plot/story line this had to be worked out but there wasn't much of an explanation for how Min was able to do this repeatedly (he got called on the carpet once).

3. The soundtrack - sometimes it served its purpose in the background. Other times melodious chiming tunes which drew incredible attention to themselves wafted through the theatre. Maybe there's a difference in Korean sensitivity in music, but I found it a little cloying.

But it was fun - kept my interest - the opening credit sequence and the medical techniques used in the film seemed very professional. If you're into medical drama and/or alternative medicine and/or paranormal events, you might want to give this a look.
