Little Korean horror flick. A bunch of Korean soldiers, during the 2nd Vietnam war, are sent to find the source of mysterious radio transmissions, apparently sent by a unit that vanished 6 months previously. Another film that shows a lot of promise, but falls short of the mark. It never really builds any atmosphere, and just when it might do, the story cuts away. At the point in the film where things should start to come together, it just descends into a confusing mess. You know roughly whats going on, you just don't know why. The ending seems to happen for no apparent reason. Not really scarey enough to be a horror, not enough thrills to be a thriller.
