vitz Oct 30 2022 1:11 am this is a good horror movie because it's not scary and doesn't count on jump scares. It's more of a religious action movie with slice of life and comedy

It's like combination of Venom (how the demon jumped from 1 human to another), Infinity War (when the demon visited for the final showdown to get the monk, very Thanos-like), Suicide Squad (man was given vision of a kid he has to kill).

Nan DaReum kept making me laugh, he is so good.

LeeSungMin & Kim Yoo Jung are undoubtedly good. Those 3 are so good by acting without talking.

Park Se Hyun can totally do that creepy acting, even without FX.

the plot twist is genius. As a Buddhist, this is a healing movie, not draining. I feel inspired.

perfect ending shot, with Kim Yoo Jung. Golden Slumber-like, but with deep meaning.

free from curse, free from suffering.

Good Addiction Nov 03 2021 1:15 pm very very good

Pennu Sep 24 2021 4:49 am I loved this movie... ?? this is my kind of horror movie... Which really has a story to tell..like a folktale tinned with tradition, mythology &fantasy... Uri Nam Da Reum did well... ♥️♥️♥️

mr xiaomi Jul 24 2021 2:48 am If you love to watch horror movies, this one is not for you. This one more to mythological related movie. Tbh, the storyline is so weak and too many loopholes. I don't see the character development for the main character and it's hard to understand the plot. Overall, not recommended to watch this movie and it's such a waste of time. If you didn't trust me, just watch on yourself and you will be regretted just like me lol

Naomi Jul 15 2021 11:05 pm this movie is incredible

Jil Jul 09 2021 6:31 am To those who bash this movie, lol, learn a bit on how to make the story interesting. Plot twist is always the key. Only fools will not understand.

This is a well done movie. And the cast did justice to their characters.

Great job! Absolutely stunning movie. I did not expect the plot twist at all. Well done.

dRIMjob Jul 08 2021 4:14 am The movie sucks. Don't waste time.

Joey Jul 06 2021 2:39 pm Spoiler:

Ok can someone explain to me how the boy in the beginning couldn’t open the “box” with the black eye but then towards the end he suddenly can?? It’s explained that he’s the actual successor isn’t of the old man but why couldn’t he open it in the first place???

Lezch Jul 03 2021 6:33 pm I really love the movie and also the twist. The casts barely speak but they perfectly convey the message. Despite of a short moment between Kim Yoo Jung and Nam Da Reum, you can feel the emotion and the chemistry of the two. Superb acting I must say especially to Kim Yoo Jung and to think she only uses her eyes and also her facial expression. What a great actress she is!!!!

Mikoii Jul 03 2021 5:10 am The end means Chang-seok became the guardian and his helping 'others' to ascend.

tf Jul 03 2021 1:36 am anyone got a theory on the last scene?

YuemikoSuzuhara Jul 02 2021 12:25 pm This movie is good but a lots of dead scene and some cuts however the message they want to give to us, The eyes represent to our emotions when we are facing difficulties(hell) in our life that needed a lot of time to resolve(nirvana). In today explanation, The people should become more strong and courage to survive against the pandemic so that one day we can reach the time that pandemic does not exist anymore.

For KJY even do you have less appearance in this movie still you did a good job in expressing your feelings using your face and body, and I looking forward to your another movie this year fighting.

iiidolo Jul 02 2021 12:08 pm @lemon the movie talks how should realm of hell going to open and release fear to anyone, However they relate it to our sufferness and fears to every obstacle we are experience just like these pandemic.

iiidolo Jul 02 2021 12:05 pm If you read manhwa God of School, you cab easily understand how these eyes become realm to open the hell

Zel Jul 02 2021 9:47 am Kim Yoo Jung, you are not just pretty.but also an excellent actress. A very talented fairy, I must conclude.

Lezch Jul 02 2021 9:45 am I love Kim Yoo Jung and Nam Da Reum so much. They have a nice chemistry. ???

Sky Jul 02 2021 5:44 am Great movie!!! Many twist !!!Kim yoo jung fighting!!!

Lemonade2505 Jul 02 2021 4:00 am Can anyone explain the whole thing about this movie? Cause i don't understand it at all...

Kiki May 10 2021 12:08 am Yoojung and Nam Da Reum in one movie. So much talent and they're both gorgeous.
