Spellbound

Maybe I was expecting too much from Spellbound, as most of the reviews and comments about this movie were possitive. However, even though it was a decent movie, it lacked some intensity for me. Plus, the romance happened kind of fast, but the progress of it was good. I also enjoyed the performances, especially from the couple, who had chemistry. The ending was good too and the scary scenes were mild, so even I, who's a scary cat, had no problem watching this one. So, six out of ten.

The romance is super cliché. The horror is also very cliché. The humour, well, maybe less cliché.

But to combine those, you make quite a great movie. At first, I really don't know how it would feel to see a "romantic comedy ghost" movie. I know you will agree with me. You can't scream your lungs out in a funny movie, nor can you enjoy the romance and humour in a ghost movie.

But I did. I laughed. Then I screamed. Then I smiled. Then I laughed and screamed again. This movie gave me mixed feeling. Very entertaining, I must say.

Seriously, if you don't believe me, check it out!

This movie will amuse you in unexpected ways. While the soapiness will no doubt bother Western viewers to some degree, it is hard to deny the charm of this film and that it tries new things. Mixing horror and romantic comedy and featuring strong acting, this film is well written, fresh, and worth a watch.I was entertained.

As a movie, this is at best a 6.5 out of 10, which is a decent rating for a horror or comedy movie, but as a romance/drama, 6.5 is below average. This film must be lauded for its great effort to merge horror with comedy and romance without a feeling of being forced. I just wish they had used a better looking male lead, but I guess a magician mystique type look is what they were going for.

Son Ye Jin is outstanding in this movie. Just to watch her range of acting, going through every possible emotion humans ordinarily feel all within one movie is fantastic to witness - observe her during twice acting as being drunk, her multitude of expressions there are already more than many actors can ever manage, based purely on her performance, this movie deserves a 9 out of 10 rating...plus, she comes across as a sweet girl next door type that every man would want to protect is, well, so Son Ye Jin : )

If ever I want to enjoy great acting and facial expressions, I will pull this movie out to enjoy her masterclass...

The ending is slightly weak but still enjoyable, overall, a 7 - 7.5 rating is fair...

This was fun and enjoyable, the main male actor I've seen before and hes good but in this movie maybe punching over his weight class with this beautiful talented actress but it worked okay, the character actors were very good in this maybe better than the main one, solid 7
