ReviewAny creative type who has ever felt the pressure of a deadline or living up to lofty expectations can sympathize with Mi-jung. Producers pinned big investments onto Mi-jungâs big dreams when she became a hot up-and-comer following a successful short in a film festival. Now the fledgling director has to fulfill that promise with her overdue horror movie script, and she doesnât know where to find gets a good lead from her friend Joon-seo. Joon-seo vaguely remembers an urban legend about a cursed student film whose creator claimed it was actually shot by a ghost. Joon-seo canât recall the name of the movie or the director, but he does remember a rumor about an audience fleeing in panic when they screened the curiosity sufficiently piqued, Mi-jung starts sleuthing through film festival archives, online forums, and university student stories. At the end of the domino line, Mi-jung finally meets the man who made the fabled film. Physically and emotionally scarred, Jae-hyun is just a shadow of the upstart cinema student he was ten years ago. He responds to Mi-jungâs questions concerning his mystery movie âWarningâ only with cryptic gibberish and violent by his deterrence, Mi-jungâs fascination with Jae-hyunâs film evolves into obsession. That obsession compels Mi-jung to steal a hard drive containing footage from the movie. With help from Joon-seo, Mi-jung starts scouring clips for clues about what really happened in the abandoned theater where Jae-hyun shot âWarning.â Mi-jung may have finally found the scariest horror story imaginable, but it may come with the cost of becoming a murderous ghostâs next terrified target.âWarning Do Not Playâ is simultaneously difficult yet somewhat simple to review. Itâs both of those things for the same reason. Essentially, âWarning Do Not Playâ is such a straightforwardly streamlined little haunter, it doesnât leave a lot to really dig into with detailed competent in technical terms like cinematography, lighting, editing, etc., no one thing in âWarning Do Not Playâ stands out as particularly remarkable, although I donât mean that in a belittling manner. Itâs just a challenge to come up with anything eloquent or entertaining to say since âitâs fineâ suffices as a summary for almost every element of the story basically boils down to a standard yet serviceable Asian ghost yarn. In addition to the bit about being based on an urban legend, youâll see beats that typically go with this territory including a wronged woman who turns into a stringy-haired phantom and some squishy scares involving an eyeball popping up for sudden staredowns. The âcursed filmâ component covers trampled ground too, though it makes for macabre milieus including a spooky scavenger hunt to uncover the truth, a crackpot hideout for the demented director, and light âfound footageâ pieces to fill in the down to two remaining sentences in my scant screening notes, which is uncharacteristic considering how furiously I usually type or write while watching a film. One of those notes is only an observational aside about the movieâs odd penchant for having the director physically assault Mi-jung whenever he gets angry, with no less than three separate scenes featuring his hands around her throat. Honestly, I think my inability to come up with anything clever or constructive to add speaks more to the wispy impression âWarning Do Not Playâ leaves than my inability to contribute meaningful not sure I can say more about the movie without sounding like a high school student effectively shrinking the margins to make it seem like I hit the minimum word count. The basic concept tells fans familiar with Korean horror what theyâre in for, which is a medium temperature thriller favoring atmospheric suspense built from breadcrumb trail plot progression over frightful sights and visceral shocks. Set expectations no higher or lower than âaverageâ and the film will meet you right there in the will stay dry. Socks wonât leave your feet. Your mouth might widen in a yawn well before your eyes ever do the same out of shock. âWarning Do Not Playâsâ casual creepiness can cash checks for a momentary goose pimple or two. Your mind and your memory will merely have moved on to more resonant matters by the time you wake the next The filmâs Korean title is âAmjeon.âReview Score 55Answer Completed nearly 2,000 years ago, Godâs Word does not explicitly teach whether or not a Christian should play video games.

Kim Jin-won, director of the infamous Korean shocker The Butcher, returns with a very different horrorâŠKorean writer director Kim Jin-won certainly made an impact with his debut way back in 2007 with The Butcher, one of the most brutal and sadistic horror films from Korea, or indeed anywhere, of the last couple of decades, as well as one of the most effective and nauseating uses of the found footage format. Quite possibly due to the infamy of the film, which wasnât released properly in Korea and which quickly became notorious in international horror circles, itâs taken Kim more than a decade to make his second feature, which arrived in 2019 in the form of Warning Do Not Play, now streaming on postsArticle continues afterPerhaps unsurprisingly, Kimâs latest is a far more conventional slice of horror, following a new director called Mi-jung popular TV actress Seo Yea-ji, recently in Itâs Okay to Not Be Okay, who has been stuck in development hell for some eight years trying to get a genre film made, and whoâs struggling for inspiration. Becoming intrigued by the story of a haunted film which was supposedly directed by a ghost and which brings doom and disaster to those who screen it, she starts investigating the story, which seems to link to the tale of a dead actress. Managing to track down the filmâs director Kim Jae-hyun Jin Seon-kyu, Svaha The Sixth Finger, she finds herself beset by increasingly strange and threatening visions, and her grip on reality starts to safe to say that Warning Do Not Play doesnât have much in common with The Butcher as a horror film, and itâs a considerably more conventional affair thatâs much more in line with what might be expected from the Korean ghost genre. Focusing on a lone female protagonist trying to track down a haunted/cursed film, the script clearly nods in the direction of Ringu and the long list of Korean films which tried to replicate its success, and Kim Jin-won does largely stick to following the usual formula. On this score, while thereâs nothing new, the film is at least efficiently done, moving along briskly and clocking in at just 86 minutes, making it around half an hour shorter than many of its Korean horror peers, something which definitely wins it extra marks. Kim does a good job of balancing atmospheric creepiness with a handful of spooky set pieces, and the film is at its best when trying to pull the viewer into the same confused and unsettled mindset as its protagonist Mi-jung. Seo Yea-ji is great in the lead, and is quite different and both more understated and independent than her counterparts most similar films, and though the script doesnât give her a huge amount to work with, she helps to keep things is a little frustrating is that Kim is clearly a talented director, and there are hints scattered throughout which suggest that something more substantial could have been achieved with Warning Do Not Play. Given that for those who could stomach it, at least The Butcher worked both as extreme torture porn and as a particularly vicious satire on the Korean industry, itâs easy to see some of the same here, with Mi-jungâs unpleasant experiences with the director Kim character, and the idea of her having been stuck trying to get a film made for eight years having a touch of the autobiographical to them, especially given the length of time between Kimâs own first and second features. Though the filmâs scare scenes are all well-handled, its more surreal and ambiguous elements come across as being more key, and itâs hard not to think that if this had been the focus, it would have been considerably more itâs great to see Kim Jin-won back behind the camera, and Warning Do Not Play is certainly worth catching for horror fans, especially those who enjoy slightly self-reflexive films about the film industry. While nowhere near as memorable as The Butcher, it nevertheless shows him as being perfectly capable of working with more commercial genre fare, and hopefully there wonât be such a long wait for his next Do Not Play is available to stream on Shudder the author James Mudge From Glasgow but based in London, James has been writing for a variety of websites over the last decade, including BeyondHollywood in the US and YesAsia in Hong Kong.

Shudder has got you covered when it added Warning Do Not Play to its streaming schedule. Directed by Kim Jin-won and starring Seo Ye-ji and Jin Sun-kyu, PremiseMi-jung has to come up with a new horror movie script soon or sheâs going to be in hot water. Her friend, Jun-seo, tells her about an urban legend that might actually be a true story. 10 years ago an aspiring filmmaker screened his new film, Warning, at graduation. Apparently someone had a heart attack and multiple people left in fear. The legend goes that the movie itself was filmed by a ghost. Mi-jung decides to write her script about her own search for this film and begins to do her research. Eventually she discovers the director, the film, and the true story. But if itâs all true, has Mi-jung invited a vengeful spirit into her life?Trigger warnings self-harm Hereâs what I loved full spoilersI wanna dive right in and talk about Soon-mi, the ghost in this movie. Clearly, she is a Gwisin which is a vengeful Korean spirit. These spirits are usually found in abandoned buildings and died without completing something so their spirit remains on earth to hopefully complete the task, growing stronger the longer the task is uncompleted. Soon-mi was an actress in 1980 who died filming in a theater, she was shooting a hanging scene when a fire broke out. Her crew left her and ran, in her panic she kicked the chair out from under her and actually did hang herself. Horrifying. But Soon-mi is out for some fucking vengeance and itâs such a cool idea â she wants her damn movie to be made and for people to see it, and since sheâs basically trapped in this abandoned theater, anyone who enters is at risk. The original director, Jae-Hyun, filmed the theater while Soon-mi killed his crew, he screened it, but it wasnât enough to satisfy her. When Mi-jung ends up in the same situation, she successfully films her movie without killing anyone, then screens it to standing applause. Soon-mi is finally satisfied, we think. But to get to that point Mi-jung has to go through a lot of terrible shit, including being haunted by Soon-mi and she is SO terrifying. Firstly, we never fully see her, she appears in the dark corners, some burned fingers, an eye without an eyelid, stringy hair, bloody cheeks. Weâre never shown a full shot which keeps you pretty terrified as your mind fills in the blank spots. But most importantly, Soon-mi makes some terrifying fucking noises. All I can think to relate it to is like an insect type noise, coming out of a dead womanâs throat, in the pitch black. Move over creepy girl from The Grudge, your noise has been read reviews of this movie and Iâve seen quite a few complaints. Iâve seen folx saying this movie is hard to follow, or reviewers referring to Soon-mi as a Yurei spirit. To those I say; do better. Pay more attention to a movie that has subtitles, work harder while watching it to fully understand the story. And secondly, do your fucking research. This is a Korean film, not a Japanese film. To me, this movie was a fascinating story to chew on and once I had pieced it together it was supremely satisfying. A well thought out plot that turns horror fans against themselves. Most of us watch horror to chase that feeling of fear, of the unknown. Warning Do Not Play throws that in our face â showing us what could happen if we took chasing our horror dream too far. Itâs so damn good. Thereâs also many supremely unreliable narrators here that will twist your view point of the main characters over and is also an incredibly emotional film, both Jae-Hyun and Mi-jung have emotional pasts that play a big part in their story trajectory. It says a lot of about sacrifices and how far someone will truly go to achieve their dream. âYou know whatâs scarier than dying? Living in horror.â Outstanding performances by everyone, some genuinely scary moments including one in the first 5 minutes, a very funny scene involving some film nerds, and a complex story that sticks with you long after the credits also some very unique story telling as the two tales combine in moments, leading to you breathlessly trying to figure out how that was Do Not Play is a must watch for horror fans! âYouâre insane too.â ABOUT SHUDDERAMC Networksâ Shudder is a premium streaming video service, super-serving members with the best selection in genre entertainment, covering horror, thrillers and the supernatural.

WarningDo Not Play is the story of young filmmaker who is trying to come up with her next idea after having set the festival circuit on fire with her first short film. Desperate to make a deadline and unable to come up with an idea that grips her the young woman begins asking around for any stories that might scare even her. While Korean cinema has a long and pretty terrifying history when it comes to ghost films, the spooky sub-genre doesnât tend to be forefront in peopleâs minds when the discussion of South Korean films leans towards horror. Without a doubt, the far more prevalent and easily more recognisable revengeâ model is the go-to for many film fans. So with 2020 being the year that a Korean film is the first foreign language film to take home the Best Film Oscar, Shudder are frontloading their offerings with everything they can grab from the countryâs fully stocked library of films waiting for a release. And while Aprilâs MHz did next to nothing for most fans of the genre, the companyâs latest acquisition, Warning Do Not Play may fare a little better. An aspiring film maker, Mi-Jung Yi-Ji Seo â Diary of a Night Watchman is frantically trying to come up with a new idea for a horror film. When her friend tells her a tale of a haunted film, supposedly made by a ghost and banned from ever being shown, Mi-Jung sets out to find out if the urban legends and rumours are true. Her search for the scary film that may, or may not, have killed somebody durning a university screening doesnât only turn into an obsession for the young filmmaker, it becomes the inspiration for her own film. She will document her hunt for âWarningâ and that will become her own scary movie. Tracking down the director, Jae-Hyun Seon-kyu Jin â Kingdom, getting her hands on a copy of this damned film and getting to the bottom of why the film is so feared might not be as easy as Mi-Jung thinks. But as tales of a young actress burned to death, a cursed film, and a vengeful ghost begin to feel more like real-life, Mi-Jung finds her dream project and the urban legends she is chasing come colliding together with horrific consequences. READ MORE Video Game Remakes â Why Are We So Excited? In 2007, director Kim Jin-Won not to be confused with the excellent Kim Jee-Woon made The Butcher; a found footage style film that took on the taboo of snuff movies, and looked at footage from the angles of the maker and the victim. It was a fun little film with something interesting to say but fell flat with audiences that saw it; primarily for its inability to live up to films like The Good, The Bad and The Weird or The Host that surrounded it. But the filmmaker had an obvious love for the way films are created, and telling stories around their production. Warning Do Not Play, while slightly self-indulgent, is a love letter to the creation of low-budget found footage horror films, even invoking the name of The Blair Witch Project in his script which, for the most part, is solid and tense. While not wholly original, much of the tension in this film is built up through the use of a tiny phone flashlight and us knowing, knowing, something is going to come out of the dark straight at us. Early jumps are telegraphed, faked, and then delivered with excellent timing and awareness of audience knowledge. We know that shadow is going to come at us, and we are pretty sure when. Kim Jin-Won knows we know this and racks up the tension before delivering scares accordingly. Sadly, the directorâs tricks donât last long, and this 85 minute film loses the ability to make you catch your breath and draw goosebumps quite early on. That being said, the scares that hit are good and the ones after that point are still delivered well while looking and feeling creepy, but the story of cursed crews and disastrous shoots has taken over and this horror movie becomes more of a mystery needing solving. Yi-Ji Seo convinces as the desperate director clinging onto the hope of a great idea to turn into a film. Her insistence in putting her life in the hands of her phoneâs measly light in the hope of getting inspiration are admirable and stupid in equal measure. She has audiences begging her to turn and run and screaming at her for going into that basement we all know is going to be far worse for her than she realises. But we can feel the longing for that killer idea in her and while we know it is almost certainly going to end badly, we understand the things pushing her down those stairs and into the dark. READ MORE The Analogy of Jordan Peeleâs Get Out and why you should stop watching The Help Seoâs performance is the main reason to stick with Warning Do Not Play. Her torture at the hands of the ghosts haunting her film is brilliantly portrayed,, even if the hints at her troubled past are frustratingly left by the wayside. She desperately needs a bigger and better film to showcase her talents. Warning Do Not Play is a mish-mash of its influences. From Ringu and Ju-On, to Lights Out with a healthy dose of One Cut of the Dead, the film homages all these great films while never honouring them quite as much as it thinks it is. It is a film to go into with slightly lowered expectations and a less than critical eye. Warning Do Not Play premieres on 11th June on Shudder UK. XviDcodec.
