The Cursed (2021)

great cgi, solid plot and reasoning though it is repetitive and obvious. the horror elements were nice and best of all it's always great to have kickass female characters and villains.
it's also refreshing that the "husband" is the one who ends up hurt while the fl is the one chasing evil

Uhm Ji Won is an amazing actress, she's versatile and totally believable in her role. Jeong Ji So is like a Kyoko, better at dark roles, though she looked more like an idol than her awful drama. Jung Moon Sung is not the "typical" hot tall buff ml but he's 1000% better and totally admirable, as someone who fights with all his strength, someone who doesn't fear the fact that his wife is a total kickass boss and also doesn't mind staying in the sidelines.
it's so so rare to see a happy, alive, married couple in dramaland, honestly I love them~


the revelation, the villain and the end are all predictable, but walking corpses that steal/drive taxis and fall from staircases? scary and a nice enough twist on brainless zombies

first off as someone who has watched the drama - u Don't need to watch that in-order to "get" this, u can treat it as a stand alone, and any info taken from the drama is more or less explained. the movie was fun and great as a one off, but i can't agree with the hype - it's anticlimactic -

So Jin was turned into a minor character, and Jin Hee was the MC here - which is mindboggling as she didn't carry shit in the drama - but that's the problem with viewing the drama - i am among the few that wasn't blown-away by it, it had its good points but Jin Hee was not one of them. so if i had known this whole movie was gonna revolve around Jin Hee - think i might have passed...

the only scene that was freakin cool was the taxi scene in the tunnel - that took me back to Train to Busan, the dead having one objective and that's getting their target - so loved how that whole scene played out, that was cool - but everything else was meeh, load of clichés... sad considering the "evil" shaman was justified in bringing down the wrath of god on the asses of those money hungry pharmaceutical company executives - so So Jin's intervention was unwarranted (IMHO) and yeah i get its so the innocents (cops) that got hurt and were suffering's would recuperate. but it felt counterproductive - idk

again - a fun one off. and got to see So Jin smile at Seong Jun, took her a whole drama and a movie to be able too lol, heck of an achievement considering he a really good person - totally selfless and giving. but So Jin had her own baggage in the drama so it was understandable - but that's another story...
