A fairly standard Asian Horror movie. Not a whole lot stands out though...

I guess the best I can say about this film is that it isn't too bad a way to spend the time. As I mention in the title, there honestly isn't anything special that really stands out about the story or the way it's done.I mean, it's not awful, but basically just middle of the road. The overall story is mildly interesting, the point of what is actually happening and why is not a bad concept. It's just my lowly and wretched opinion that it probably could have been done with a bit more style and a deeper, more effective atmosphere.The acting and everything is okay, nothing terrible. And yes, there are the usual jump scares, but that is honestly just about all there is to the actual mechanics of how the story is told.It's kind of too bad too because like I mentioned before, the overall idea is actually pretty good, and rather creepy, really. But, I almost get the impression that the filmmakers, although probably somewhat talented, didn't really seem to spend a whole lot of time or thought in putting the film together.So, not a terrible time waster, but nothing truly deserving a glowing recommendation either...

Nothing special....

The Ghost Station (aKa Ogsuyeog gwisin) is 2022 supernatural horror film co-written and directed by Yong-ki Jeong (The Doll Master, Marrying the Mafia franchise, Once a upon a Time, Couples, and Return of the Mafia). It was co-written by Horang and Soyoung Lee (Apt, Robot Sound, and Wishing Stairs). After a young reporter (played by: Bo-ra Kim from Ghost Mansion, SF8, Touch, Avengers Social Club, and SKY Castle) covers a suspicious accident, she learns from police that her source was supposedly already dead at the time of their interview. As more mysterious deaths occur, she and her partner dig deeper into the case and come face to face with a horrifying truth!!!!The Ghost Station pays homage to previous J-Horror features. That's one of the best things about the low budget horror movie. The screenplay and plot are a little messy here but it's still interesting to explore. Bo-ra Kim is a solid lead here. The supporting cast includes Jae Hyun Kim, Shin So-yul, Oh Jin-Seok, and Kang-il Kim. Everyone is pretty good in this, they try their best to make up for it's flaws. It has a heavy Ringu influence to it. They try some unique cinematography and shots to change it up which makes it stand out a little more. The finale feels a little rushed, I think it could have been done better but I don't hate it. The Ghost Station is just average but it's not a total waste of time. It does have it's moments every once in awhile. Just go into this one with an open mind.
