Deo web-toon: Ye-go sal-in

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.

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.

Killer Toon starts very effective with nice visuals and some gruesome killings. It sets the tone of what to expect. And for a while it does bring you the scares and thrills. At that point you are not entirely sure if you are dealing with a slasher or something supernatural. And guessing what going on is very fun. Then it loses a lot of steam. So much so that it was hard to sit through the last half hour. It then goes through what a lot of the South Korean horror movies suffer from. One twist too many. Which is fine if it has a nice pace to it. But here it takes forever to get the plot going and with lack of really likable characters I personally did not feel compelled to stay invested or interested. Also the explanation given for what is happening is so far fetched it detracts from the enjoyment. I liked how Killer Toon try to do something fresh and therefore it's a shame it can't keep up with it. Currently feel very mixed about this. But I am leaning to recommending people to watch it for the first hour and then forget about the rest.

"Killer Toon" is a horror movie with a good atmosphere, nice acting (even if it leans to the over-acting side, especially in the case of Hyun Woo, who seems on a mission to make his eyes pop out of his face), and an interesting story: the creator of a series of webcomics sees how her creations come to life and people start dying as in her stories. The police seem to feel something is amiss and start to investigate her. It all makes for a quite meta and self-referencing way of storytelling, with a good understanding of the creator, their oeuvre and the craziness that dominates their life. Si-young Lee does a great job in interpreting the creator of the comics, Kang, and Ki-joon Uhm also does a good job as the policeman that seems to think there is more to it than just casualties.

Nonetheless, after a first hour with lots of thrills, surprises and wonderful moments, the movie decides to shoot itself in the foot in the last part and it loses its plot, going for an overcooked resolution. It is a pity, because "Killer Toon", even if it hadn't made much sense till that moment, had been a thoroughly enjoyable movie. Worth checking, though, even if it overstays its welcome.

Killer Toon mixes horror and mystery with a creative concept: a webtoon that predicts real murders. The story feels like Final Destination, but with a darker, psychological twist. The main character, a haunted artist, adds depth, while the two detectives bring balance with a lighter tone. There's also a subtle LGBTQIA+ presence. Visually stylish, the film explores guilt and punishment with no mercy. However, the plot has some flaws-slow pacing, a few incoherent points (like the unrelated first murder), and unnecessary jumpscares. It's frustrating the characters don't read the full webtoon to prevent deaths. Still, it's an original take on crime, horror, and unresolved guilt, where redemption is never an option.
