The Cursed: Dead Man’s Prey Review
Korean action-packed films have been bursting at the seams, creating a unique niche in this popular genre. The latest action offering - The Curse: Dead Man's Prey - also captures the kind of Korean he is known for: terror.
Dead Man's Prey is actually an extension of the hilarious 2020 series The Curse, written by Train to Busan director Yeon Sang-Ho. The atmosphere is based on ancient black magic when corpses are revived by shamans for revenge. While you do not need to watch the series, it does give you a better description of how Im Jin-Hee (Uhm Ji-Won), the gung ho (and lead) filmmaker, is related to the youth. a shaman named So-Jin (Jung Ji-So).
The film begins on a supernatural basis: someone is killed by a three-month-old corpse. This is where Jin-Hee comes in - the criminal reveals that there will be three more assassinations, and that there will also be a revived corpse (called 'jaechaui'). The film marks all the scary, mysterious, and action-packed boxes.
Horror - or something supernatural - includes covered corpses that seem to come from all over the place. Although they look human, what they do with their bodies is shocking. The only minor complaint is in the CG department where jaechaui 'dies'.
The mysterious part explains the origin of jaechaui - there are a number of clues that include mystical symbols and xhumana Indonesian connections. The case is very obvious or subtle, depending on how you watch the film.
The action is what makes the film so exciting. There are a few scenes to talk about, including the chase for cars and a fun event involving taxis. There is also an interesting problem posed by the dead: in a major battle between the police and the jaechaui, someone has to solve the problem ‘we will not shoot them because they have no guns’.
As the film progresses and the mystery deepens, the plot suddenly turns into a revenge story using dark art against a company that abuses the neglected people. And stopping the attack on this jaechaui apocalypse is in the hands of one unexpected person.
If it is one thing to remove from this film, that women play a prominent role in decision-making and problem solving.
All in all, the film covers all the expected aspects of horror, mystery mystery, and action in the form of entertainment. (One also cannot help but wonder if part of the plot was inspired by the ‘peanut rage’ incident in Korea.) Do not just expect everything to make sense in the real world.
Oh, and stay until the end of the movie, as there are more scenes.
