Deo web-toon: Ye-go sal-in

Alright, well I have actually had the 2013 South Korean horror movie "Deo Web-Toon: Ye-Go Sal-In" (aka "Killer Toon") laying around since 2019, but I just never got around to watching it. Why? Well, simply because the English title "Killer Toon" just left a foul taste in my mouth.

But I opted to get around to watching it here in 2022, and I will say that the movie was off to a great start. And I initially felt that I had been missing out on a great South Korean horror movie here by not actually getting around to seeing it. But then the movie started to falter and sputter around midways through, and its momentum settled into a mediocre slump.

Writers Sang-hak Lee, Hoo-Kyoung Lee, Sun-ho Cho and Sung-hee Jo were off to a good start, as I mentioned above, but it seems that too many creative inputs spoil a good idea, and the movie ended up being somewhat of a generic horror movie, which didn't really offer much worthwhile watching.

The acting performances in the movie were good, I will say that much, but it was a shame that the actors and actresses weren't given a properly constructed script and storyline to work with.

If you enjoy South Korean horror movies, then there are far better choices on the market than "Deo Web-Toon: Ye-Go Sal-In". I managed to sit through this movie in its entire runtime, however I found myself not particularly entertained.

My rating of director Yong-Gyun Kim's 2013 horror movie "Deo Web-Toon: Ye-Go Sal-In" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

This movie is totally unpredictable, not like the usual horror movies. Most of horror movies lack story whereas, it it full of mysteries and plot twists. The first half of the movie is consist with horror elements, anyone will jump out of scare. The rest of movie is amazing, it is filled with unexpected plot twists, revelations. It is hard to find a horror movie with a lot of plot twists but this movie really surprises me.

As a horror movie lover, I found this movie too interesting. But if you love watching movie with twists, you are going to love this because it is not only a horror movie but also a thriller mystery.

I wanted to grade this one higher than most, and was so close to do so, but sadly I got to see the last 25 minutes of the movie. It could have stopped once it hit the safety limit yet it was just dying to hit that wall up ahead. And boy did it do so!

Okey, so all in all, I would recommend it, for the somewhat different approach, for some nice tension moments, few good kills, nice drawings, well it had potential, I'll give you that. You can do a lot worse than this one, and you could do better as well. For a time waster, works just fine in my book!

Words won't do it much justice, so go ahead, give it a try. If you won't be bothered by the never ending END, you might actually enjoy it.

Cheers!

If you are a webtoon horror fan you will really enjoy this one.

If you are a horror movie fan in general this movie may give you a mixed feeling about it. Still this movie surely will serve you good acting, interesting story/mystery, and most importantly decent plot twist.

The plot makes very little sense. The characters all smear together. It drags on. Other than being highly stylized, the entire film is rather annoying.
