0.0MHz (2019)

No one told me it was a boring comedy.

0.0MHz had neither the atmosphere, nor the scares, nor the visuals. It did not have interesting characters nor the plot…. So what did it have? Snapshot filters and killing hair. Even the 0.0MHz from the titles was barely relevant and the whole movie could do without it, changing more or less nothing.

It was honestly, simply boring. The kids had either zero personality or awful one - I did not care if anyone survived. All the conflicts were not set up in any proper way. Truth to be told, they were not set up in an awful way either - they just dropped it all in random dialogues at random times.

Best aspect of the movie? Eunji cursing the demon ghost - the whole final face off was so ridiculous I could not stop laughing.

I can’t even talk about the performances, because the writing and directing was so bad, I am not sure how much of the mediocre delivery really is on the actor, and how much on the other people involved in the production.

Overall, don’t waste your time.

Is it Scary? - Pros & Cons

Total jumpscare scenes: around 6 scenes
Normal jumpscare scene(s): 3 (expected, slowly, far from the screen, creepy but heart-safe)
Mid jumpscare scene(s): 2 (unexpected ghost/scary characters appearance, slowly)
Extreme jumpscare scene(s): 1 (unexpected, fast, eyes to eyes with you, filling the screen, with SFX)

Pros:
- Apink's Eunji. Her acting is so good as always, I love her character in here.
- Nice plot twist.
- It's actually less scary, good for a scaredy-cat like me hohoho. Just watch out for an extreme jumpscare.
- The place they are shooting at really fits the theme. It builds a creepy atmosphere well.

Cons:
- I could say this is rated 16+ but no nudity. It would have been good if this movie has no romance aspect.
- Unsolved conflict.
- Somehow, there's a plot-jump. (Why this happened to this character? What is actually happening?).
- Unnecessary jumpscare (the extreme one).
- Some cheap CGIs are there.
