Damn good horror. I didn't yell at the characters too much.

As the tag indicates, there's some gore. Personally, it just makes me wanna gag so I just fast-forwarded through those. Blood and guts just don't do it for me, sorry.

The atmosphere though? Nailed it. It's not a 'chills down my spine' effect. It was more of a dread that seeped under my skin and clung to my bones. Even when the settings were more comforting, lively, or even mundane, I was tense. They did well in keeping that consistent.

The usual horror tropes are here but I don't mind them as long as it's executed well. Characters who have never seen a single horror movie in their life? Check. Flickering lights? Check. A protagonist who can't catch a break? Triple check.

Moral of the story: Turn the car around. Go home. Live a long, boring but curse-less life.

The amount of times I paused to cackle like a maniac during this...oh man. What an experience.
Heartfelt erotica is hard to come by folks, so grab some while you can! (although the 'erotic' scenes are tame, it's still well-done)

Usually, with movie-length rom-coms I find it hard to be invested. But within 15 minutes, Seohyun and Junyoung's chemistry yanked me by the leash. They maintained a nice undercurrent of tension throughout the story. It made even me squirm a bit and I ain't no spring chicken.

It's pretty good at delving into the perspectives of those that are part of the BDSM community but I feel like it has only scratched the surface. This kind of story would work better in a 12-16 episode format as other reviewers have pointed out. But the movie is an excellent springboard for a future drama with the same cast. Jtbc, tvn, any network gutsy enough to take this on, you know what to do!
