Featured reviews
The film starts off interestingly mysterious, and there's a few creepy and scary scenes. However, the middle part of the movie becomes nothing more than business talk and rivalries within a big business.
The film (sort of) redeems itself towards the end. There's mention of demonic possession, but this is never clear or confirmed. It felt as if the writer didn't know how to justify the antagonist's actions and then opted for this explanation. The film doesn't feel well constructed with too many distractions from the primary premise.
Ko Asung was very good in her role as Lee Mi-Rye.

The cut-throat (literally) corporate work space of today, permeates through everything, including, our minds, our private lives and our homes. Sometimes this can result in unimaginable horrors. It is especially true for more submissive and highly orthodox work practices prevalent in Japan and Korea, where you work is expected to precede everything including your family. "Office" takes place within that ambiance and tells a story of a monolithic work space bordering on slave labour that the majority of multinational corporations have turned in to today. The characters involved share a completely serene on the surface but potentially demented dynamics between themselves that explodes with a bang eventually. The director has played with the genre and tried to include some new plot elements, however, they turn out as contrived at best.
A half decent and formulaic out-put from Korean cinema that fails to match the standard set by the best of the lot coming out of there.

Trailer for office. wanted there to be some trailer for office film.
The atmosphere, the editing, the pretty much everything dealing with technique was pretty clean and engaging, the atmosphere specially was great, good at building suspense, the problem to me was easily the ending, the third act rushes everything and leaves an unsatisfying feeling of a major plot hole. Sadly it is literally unbelievable.
Litteraly one of my favourite ever films.
I love the acting, I love the story and how it has some very good twists.
Not filled with screaming and over the top music (the score is very well done) to take away from film or to try and make it scary just a good constant feeling of threat abit like the witch.
Shows how lonely life can be and over working or trying to be accepted.
It's also worth reading into the ending abit as I think some people are missing the supernatural point as why people are seeing certain things, as well few other things that I didn't pick up on my first watch but now seen it many times 😅
