Horror elements that ruined the movie.
This would be such a good thriller mystery, but the extremely cheap horror ruined it. Samara meets Sadako and the killing hair. The effects and the ghost design were so bad I honestly wanted to skip all their scenes.That said, the story itself was quite compelling. The writer was able to form a close connection of the tragic story for the female lead and the main victim of the events from the past. The story had quite a few layers and the pacing of showing them one by one was rather well executed.
It’s for sure more of an investigation than a horror though. Majority of the movie is just the detective work and solving the murder cases happening.
Arang, by the end of the runtime, presents a good, unexpected twist (tho if it was that unexpected I am not sure, since I might have just not paid that much attention to figure out the plot for myself).
The acting was great - given for such a cast.
Overall, someone should make a cut version of this movie, removing all the cheap on budget Ring moments.
