MsH-185

Not Ma Dong Seok's best movie but watching him is always fun. Nothing new that hasn't been done before but this time the exorcist isn't a Catholic priest because apparently, they're not allowed to for reasons I forgot. Seohyun is a beautiful priestess with a back story not yet clear, perhaps in the sequel we will find out more.

Honestly not quite sure why Ma Dong Seok made this supernatural movie apart from his usual action which usually does well. Fighting demons with his fists doesn't sound plausible at first but his are supernatural fists this time so I guess it works. The CGI is nothing to write home about. Acting wise, nobody did a bad job but the possessed girl did especially well.

All in all a fun watch if you're not looking for anything serious requiring much logic, and Korean movies usually are free from token characters shoved in just to check a box so it's always a win for me to be able to watch an entire movie without hidden agenda squeezed in. If there is a sequel, will still watch.

Watching this in 2025 after constantly being battered by western productions full of unnecessary sex, normalization of perversion, is like getting a breath of fresh air, back to when movies were made to entertain. Much better than expected. It's light, it's funny, it's fun, although gory. The stunts are great, characters interesting, it's clean and somewhat wholesome (love for family, friendship, loyalty). Not the kind that wins awards but can make for fun movie night with favorite meals and company, makes you feel like the world is still innocent not like the confusion of 2025. Give this a watch for a carefree movie time!
