0.0 MHz

Essentially the same plot as flatliner with Kevin bacon but with a refreshing Korean zest to it

Had they stuck to South Korean style movie making rather than incorporate Hollywood style B S

I didn't know that "0.0 MHz" was based on a comic book, but after having seen the movie, I can't really claim to have been enticed much into having any interest in getting acquainted with the comic.

When I sat down to watch this 2019 South Korean horror movie, it was solely because it was exactly that, a new South Korean horror movie. And it is no secret that South Korea does make some interesting horror movies for the most of the time.

"0.0 MHz", however, was a mediocre foray into the horror genre. What started out as actually being something with promise and potential, quickly turned into a stale and mundane movie, with very little of any overly interest happening.

For a seasoned horror veteran as myself "0.0 MHz" was a walk in the park. Nothing scary here, aside from the questionable CGI that they opted to use for the long-haired ghost. Wow, that was just abysmal to look at.

The movie was nicely carried mostly by Eun-ji Jung. But I will say that the acting performances were actually good for all the participants, but it was Eun-ji Jung that stood out the most with her performance.

For a South Korean horror movie, then "0.0 MHz" wasn't particularly outstanding, and it is one that will quickly fade into oblivion, most likely never to be watched a second time.

My rating for this movie from writer and director Yoo Sun-Dong is a four out of ten star rating. While it is watchable, and does have some interesting enough moments, the movie just failed to make itself outstanding amidst so many other South Korean horror movies.

The plot is simple, a group of students conduct an experiment in a haunted house but things go awry and people start dying. In fact, I was ready to give the benefit of the doubt to this movie knowing the premise would not be original, however this movie lacks any real scare. The camera shots and camera angles were the best thing in the movie because it makes you want to strain your neck to see if there is anything hidden in the corner. Apart from that, there is nothing good that should be expected from a Korean horror. No emotional investment in the characters, no shock or scares. The acting was just decent enough but the main problem with this movie is that it does not really know what kind of movie it wants to make: an exorcism gone wrong? mystery thriller? or drama? This really ruins the movie and leaves you feeling cheated after leaving the theater.

In my opinion, the movie builds up to something but unfortunately it never comes to fruition. I thought the ghost had some backstory to tell but in the end there were not. In my opinion the characters really done well and the acting really portrays the characters diverse personalities and makes the dynamic of the movie interesting. I admit is is not the scariest movie you can get but I do feel scared when watching it. Especially when you are a student and don't really know what to do when dealing with supernatural things. There's one message that I got which is to let your past mistakes go and don't leave on it. If you do you are not living your life. Overall I like the movie. The cinematography was expected out of South Korea and the direction and story progression is well paced.
