Deo web-toon: Ye-go sal-in

"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.

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.

When i was young i very scare this movie because it very real i believed it, and now i watch this movie again

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.

Art that imitates life or life imitating art?

After a publisher is found dead, detectives find that she was reviewing a new piece of comic art that just happens to end just as her life ended. Baffled, detective look to the artist for an explanation but she is also confused and horrified. What does it all mean and how can the artist's renderings be so exact?

This was an interesting concept. It struggles to pin down a motive whether it may be based in reality or the supernatural. I loved all of the comic art. It was all really well done and the horror aspect was on point. The problem with this film is that it has a great deal of momentum in the beginning but slowly starts to lose steam. I think it could've used a little work. Some scenes seemed to be too long because they didn't offer explanations or really add much to the plot.

So, the positives for this film is that the idea is catchy, the artwork is fantastic, horror aspect is prevalent (but not in a gory way) and it starts off with great momentum. The problems are that it has unnecessary, drawn out scenes and it fizzles out in the end. Not a bad watch but has room for improvement.
