Sorum (Limited Edition)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Creaky stairs, dusty windows, long and narrow hallways, bizarre graffiti, dark apartments...Sorum (Korean for goosebumps) is so scary that it will give you goosebumps. Yong Hyun moves into Mi Gum Apartment 504, where novelist Kwang Tae died in a fire. Seeing the stained walls and ceilings with soot, Yong Hyun finds the apartment spookily familiar despite the fact that he has never been there before. Hearing strange sounds coming from the hallway, Yong Hyun senses a disaster creeping up on him...

Excellent Story of Dislocation Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
“Sorum” is more a tragic social horror than the conventional K-horror type and about domestic violence, distorted love and past wrong doings. Certainly the film’s key feature of a dilapidated Silent Hill type apartment block provokes a mix of dark forboding and provocative aestheticism, permeating Mi Gum Apartment’s dark rusted walls. A stark beauty so contrastingly intense, uncomfortable but emotionally invigorating amidst the atmosphere and strange story line. The art direction certainly shows subtle devoid beauty. The shadowy corridors and jaundiced walls also reminded me of the similar decay in “Session 9”, a US movie filmed entirely inside an old disused mental asylum. But “Sorum’s” tragic and chilling plot of a taxi driver and violently abused woman can be an illusive one, of morally broken people amidst supernatural past evils, that so easily could have been an ‘happening’ that lurked behind un-opened doors in the similarly decayed apartments of Silent Hill 2. The sad music, the isolated abused woman and the neglected once orphaned Yong Hyun yearning for mutual love, also make for the most saddening, haunting and disturbing ‘feel’ I’ve had from a movie in ages.

The story centres around taxi driver Yong Hyun (Myung-min Kim) who moves into room 504 of the apartments, but discovers the previous owner had burnt to death in the room. Yong Hyun befriends a melancholic young woman (Jin Young Chang) who’s abused by her violent husband and also lost her young son. Eventually the taxi driver befriends the woman and helps her with her violent circumstances. He also falls in love with her. But by tragic guilt, abandonment and loathing, yields some intense moments near the conclusion.

The two main characters are played out as fractured and dislocated souls. Emotional distorted love is also a key reflection here with a conclusion that’s so brutal, tragic and sad. I was left with a very strange poignant ‘aftertaste’ of emotion when the film concluded, especially returning to the DVD menu screen and the emotional theme music. The emotive impact is such a crucial importance behind the grim story. A brilliant piece of dark Korean theatre here!

Actors Jin-Young Chang and Myung-min Kim perform brilliantly. I was shocked and sorry however to hear about Jin-Young’s illness last year, and I hope profusely she overcomes this awful disease, she’s a remarkable actress. Please get well soon!

NO SORUM BUT KEEPS YOU INTERESTED Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
I bought this dvd with much anticipation, but I must say the movie didn't give me much "sorum" if at all. The director does a good job of keeping the audience for the most part, but the ominous mood that he creates never materializes and ultimately disappoints. The storyline has a good premise to be a great horror flick, and the director does a good job with the lighting, and the development of the characters who are peculiar yet believeable. If you are looking for any scary special/sound effects that will make you jump or long haired gui shin, then this is not the movie for you. The dvd does come in a very attractive case with cast interviews, and director's commentary (and a black and white negative strip--i can't tell what image is on it) and a bonus dvd of the director's early attempts at movie-making (not worth watching).....6/10

Eh Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
I didn't really like this...I didn't think it was scary, and I was waiting for some payoff after watching the whole time and there really was none. I dunno, just didn't really interest me.

Awesome Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is one of greatest horror movie I have ever seen. Film maker's direction is quite different than other horror film. There is no ghost or freaky feature on the movie but the surrounding in entire movie scares. You will find it while you watch it. Awesome movie.
