Svaha: Al Șaselea Deget (2019)

The Sixth Finger is a pretty hard film for me to correlate what I'm feeling into words, so I'll keep it brief.

This wasn't an all round amazing movie 10/10 recommend. This was a high average of 7/10 for a few reasons.
This was unique. It was a really intriguing and more modern look at religion within horror - usually the religion used is Christianity, so seeing Buddhism was a breath of fresh air. This was pretty intriguing. The acting was very good and enjoyable.

But I don't quite think Jang Jae Hyun got away with everything he wanted to do.

Some of this fell pretty flat; it felt more like a horror-comedy at times whilst he was trying to keep this a full horror film which did ruin a few moments for me and I ended up knowing a bit of the rating off, however this is still a very good film for its premise.

Definitely a recommend watch for a late night curled under a blanket.

Guess this is an underrated movie since there are not much exposure despites starred by Lee Jung-jae. But I’m so glad I decided to give this movie a go and I’ve rewatched it three times.
This movie is a blend of mystery-thriller-horror and it’s totally my cup of tea.
The clues are given one by one and my brain didn’t have to work so hard collecting the pieces of puzzle. I could comprehend it since the first watch. As a comparison, I watched The Wailing and missed many clues that I had to google for explanation :).
The plot is neat and well-written. From the beginning towards the ending, it keeps the same pace. Not even a single scene is filler, zero scenes wasted.
Moving on to the casts, we have the experienced Lee Jung-jae, cutie-pie Lee David, and Park Jung-min. My first time watching Park Jung-min and I’m awestruck. He’s really a great actor! I’m a fan now.
Svaha has become one of my favorite movies.
Solid plot and solid casts = almost perfect.
