Disappointing.

South Korean cinema is one of my favourites, definitely the best Asian country to make good movies. Despite this one having a low rating I gave it a shot but the low ratings were deserved. It's not that great. The idea is there but the low budget is clearly visible. A horror movie needs a good soundtrack and scary moments but besides a couple jump scares (not even that great) there was none of that in this movie. Contorted could have been much better. The acting wasn't awful, but with good acting alone you're not guaranteed to make a good movie. It's been awhile since I was disappointed by a South Korean movie.

Nice visuals

The visuals were good. The acting was good. It has some nice creepiness to it. The story, or lack of a cohesive one, spoils the whole thing.This movie leaves too many questions unanswered.Why did the mother throw her daughter from the window? If she was mentally ill why was she permitted to remain with her family after such an act?What did the father plagiarize that was so bad his editor committed suicide?What entity was haunting the house and why?What was the mask, where did it come from?Why take out insurance policies on your family if you're just going to commit murder/suicide?Why introduce a character that offers to help (the dude at the funeral parlour with the business card) if you're not going to use him?What was the importance that the child victims were all adopted?The entire movie felt like important background ended up on the cutting room floor.

Good Story with Tense Moments

I thought it was very tense at moments, and the acting was really good. The story was really interesting too, it had a little bit more to it than a regular haunted house story. It was much creepier too. I thought the acting of the female lead especially sold it.Although I felt the ending was a bit much with house intense the rest of the film is. The relief was needed for me to get the full enjoyment of the rest of the story.I know the budget wasn't the highest, but overall I think they did very well with it. And I think the story was good enough that you don't mind. Even with the couple of holes here and there.
