Watched Aug 16, 2020 BurtonMacReadyās review published on Letterboxd Shudder has debuted several South Korean films as part of their 2020 Originals slate but only MONSTRUM seems to have made a sizable imprint on people. However, there was no way I was not going to end up watching a film called WARNING DO NOT PLAY with a plot description of āyoung filmmaker tries to find a film shot by a ghostā, especially after I saw the trailer for this on one of the Shudder TV streams. And I gotta say, Iām surprised by how thereās been virtually no talk of this. It is a mostly successful take on horror thrillers in the mode of SINISTER and RING/THE RING the film even seemed to take some plot points from Hideo Nakataās earlier DONāT LOOK UP, particularly in the first half when it is focused solely on the investigating into the mystery. What helps it stand out and seem a little fresher is having the main character be a young director she is described as having had some successful festival shorts but is now struggling to develop a feature with a studio, which brings in such amusing unexpected moments as a hilarious debate among some drunk film students about Christopher Nolan. It really just seemed to be in lockstep with the actual types of discussions young movie makers and watchers have been having for the last few even more essential to the filmās success is the lead performance by Seo Ye-ji who is immediately assured and likable as the almost Hawksian protagonist with the basically all-male of entertainment industry around her as the club she must break into. You believe both her determination and brashness even as the supernatural horror of the film creeps in more and the film does increasingly come to rely on clichĆ©s and some excessive special effects until much of the tension established throughout is replaced with bigger but more pedestrian ghost attacks. The film also throws in a few too many plot turns way late in the game and while the film certainly drums up some successful scares, thereās times when too much is shown of the CGI and it takes you out. But even still, it runs only 86 minutes and is consistently effectively directed by Kim Ji-won. It doesnāt reach the heights of some of its influences but as a fun watch with some chills, it definitely should be seen by more people. Block or Report BurtonMacReady liked these reviews

It was very good! I am a sucker for a movie about a lost horror movie! First half is awesome. The last half gets a little muddled for the storyline but is still good and seems to straighten out by the end. The movie is in subtitles. Give it a try. For Korean horror, this feels a little standard and normal. I usually love Korean horror as a reprieve from safer American horror. That said, I still found it an interesting experience with a few scary moments and some nice commentary towards the end on the power and effects of film. The lead performance lifted the movie as well. I can understand others saying it's uneven and disjointed, but there was still a charm to it that pulled me in Warning do not play - Shudder originalSpoken language KoreanSeated in an darkened auditorium, several students are nearby. We are watching a screening of a movie. I see the last glimpse of the blue chairs in the auditorium sitting area before my eyes close. I couldn't have been asleep for more than a couple of minutes. As I come to, everyone has exited the screening. I'm all alone and it's pitch black. I locate my phone and turn on the flashlight š¦.I look around me, getting orientated. I adjust my glasses and run my fingers through my shoulder length black a flashlight in hand, I walk towards the exit to the auditorium. I am unable toā¦ There are a lot of elements to this that I liked. I love stuff about cursed/haunted films total aside if you also dig stuff like that, I highly highly recommend the novel Night Film by Marisha Pessl, and there are some pretty creepy moments. Good use of lighting and atmosphere as pacing is just all over the place though. It felt super long even though it's only 85 minutes, and I found myself getting kind of bored more than once. The plot seemed too convoluted to me, but I confess that my mind was wandering a bit due to the boredom so it's possible I just wasn't paying enough has its moments, but unless you're a die hard K-horror fan I can't give it a very strong recommendation. It was well over a decade ago that I sought out Kim Jin-won's debut film, The Butcher. It had a small cult reputation for its brutality that intrigued me, and I managed to find it on DVD after a bit of searching at a convention I believe. I hated the film completely, but I also don't want to linger on that too much right feels very worth mentioning though, as this, his follow up feature so many years later, bears a lot of resemblance to the situation that the director seems to be in as an outsider looking at these films and the gap between them, with little to go on in regards to what Kim has beenā¦ Pretty disjointed. Kind of confusing. Moderately spooky. It's fine. also my advice on whether or not you should ever watch this on Shudder...For awhile now I have had this in my queue on that particular streaming service. One day I stumbled upon its title, laughed, saw it was a Korean picture, and was dumbstruck when I saw that the plot description mentioned something about a film MADE BY A GHOST. How could I not see a movie w/ such a plot point? I've seen some praise this... I wish my opinion matched theirs. It will be explained why I encourage those who see this on Shudder do NOT press āPlayā, watch something else story follows a young filmmaker who is in the horror genre andā¦ Always loooooved the idea of cursed / haunted films - this has a good enough premise and some effective scares they're hit or miss and the ghost starts showing up too much to remain scary for me, but some of those early ones, particularly in Mi-jung's apartment worked well imo. I just can't help feeling a little underwhelmed by the script and the eventual direction this ended up. It's a fine, light, breezy watch, but nothing spectacular. Kinda would have preferred to just watch the actual footage "shot by a ghost" instead as a feature-length. Mi-jung an excellent Seo Yea-ji is a young, bespectacled filmmaker who becomes obsessed with finding an obscure student horror film that may or may not have been made by a ghost. Her search leads her to the reclusive director Kim Jae-hyun a broken and intense Jin Seon-kyu and a copy of the elusive film. When she finally watches it, strange things begin to happen and it becomes difficult to tell what is real and what is is a really cool film that I havenāt quite wrapped my mind around yet. If you like films about making horror films, youāll probably have a good time. I was expecting a haunted tape, which this has, but itās got more inā¦ My streak of competent horror couldn't last forever...Warning Do Not Watch isn't exactly incompetent if a little incoherent. An adaptation of The Ring, Warning contemplates a young, aspiring director looking for inspiration to make a horror film. She hears a rumor about a VHS tape that kills people yatta yatta yatta...she finds the movie, it's evil and ghosts attack. What kills me about Warning is the potential of the ideas namely, the director's past trauma in the first act and the time overlap suggestions of the third act. Many people enjoy horror film because it repurposes trauma as something approachable and entertaining. Although hinted at in the beginning, Warning's emphasis on the why of genre peters as genre clicheā¦

Warning Do Not Play is a South-Korean horror that can proudly stand among the great Asian movies from this decade with a focus on filmmaking, One Cut Of The Dead and The Kirishima Thing among them. It is essentially a ghost story spanning decades which doubles as a cursed-object movie featuring frequently disturbing imagery ā mostly of characters in a catatonic state inflicting self-harm ā and while the scares can be bare-bones at times, the movie works best as a metaphor for the worst impulses of filmmakers today how they sometimes end up casually exploiting the suffering of others and misappropriate their stories in order to further their own image or to simply get ahead. On the brighter side, it also demonstrates how cinema can be a beacon of hope, making films an act of salvation, and how just pointing a camera at someone and shooting can be the best possible decision. When we first meet Mi-Jung, sheās having a nightmare of herself being alone in a movie theater, and she slowly wakes up and sees a blinking eye on her phoneās cracked screen. As if to foreshadow the movieās themes, and its structure, this image is a great sum-up of the whole story that is to come it turns out that Mi-Jung is still dreaming, and when she wakes up for real, we get acquainted to her real plight sheās a horror filmmaker under heavy stress because of a looming deadline; if she canāt come up with a scary concept for her newest project in two weeks, she and the whole team will lose the gig. When she hears about an urban legend concerning a film supposedly directed by a ghost that caused walkouts and heart-attacks, she travels to Daejeon to find it. Mi-Jung is immediately likeable, but she can be immensely manipulative as well. She will have her way no matter what. After she doesnāt get anywhere with the film university staff, she meets three male film-school students in a bar, chatting about Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve the movie uses intertextuality to great effect, and its approach feels universal ā itās a story that can be placed into another geographical area without it losing much of its meaning one of the funniest lines is Your work suffers because you just canāt accept Nolan!ā, but the sleek cinematography that can feel like a tour-guide to a haunted house, and the stunningly rich color palette are there for diehard Asian cinema fans to enjoy. She promises to grant them any wish if they can come up with a scary story from the Daejeon region. ANY wish?ā, one of them replies, and they start arguing among themselves until all three end up sharing the same story, one related to the same hauntedā film from before. The protagonist is no stranger to stealing either. After getting her hands on a clip from the movie, she manages to track down the director and plans to get the full version somehow. What happens in the second act, after the more investigating an urban legendā feel of the first one, can seem like standard Asian horror there are definitely some 10 to 15 minutes that feel too minimal, too focused on jump-scares rather than on the actual characters, as the true nature of the film comes into play and Mi-Jung has to fight for her life. What she actually does is just walk around slowly with bated breath while the film is teasing the viewer with the obvious scare waiting just around the corner, and while that can be a plus for atmosphere, it also clashes with what came before and might lose some viewers. But worry not just stick with it. It not only recovers from almost having devolved into a standard, low to mid-tied Asian horror, but it also ends up being an excellent example of a frame story, while perfectly using the show, donāt tellā principle it includes found-footage elements to tell the tale of the cursed film, and makes the characters behind the original movie feel like actual people, by using clever parallels between them and Mi-Jung and benefiting from some truly creative camerawork. It never ever tells you that itās about filmmakers exploiting real people and their suffering for personal gain, becoming more distanced from reality and their own humanity ā it just lets you witness that first-hand with almost every scene, and carries multiple meanings. The best thing about the movie, besides its visuals and storytelling, is the character development. The original film director is a former shell of himself because of past events, and Mi-Jungās transformation in the filmās climax occurs within a split-second ā a result of her survival instincts, but also the fact that she might be different from the get that footage no matter whatā school of thought. Whether she truly changes or is just more clever and devious than the other characters and finds a way to justify her behavior, of if she chooses to just ignore the past, thatās up for interpretation. As such, the movie illustrates how the current generation of directors can borrow from what came before them, ranging from gentle homage to blatant plagiarism, but can also subvert and refocus. Like the character development and what it actually signifies in the larger picture, the filmās twist ending can be interpreted in a lot of ways it serves as a cautionary tale for the viewer, but also perfectly illustrates what exactly Mi-Jung has lost in her journey of recovering the movie Missing and forcing her way into the directorās seat. As such, it is a pitch-perfect ending to a film that manages ā in just 86 minutes ā to mix urban legends with curses and angry ghosts, while rarely letting go of its characters, their inner worldā and their journey. The filmās structure and approach to scares can be similar to that of Ringu or Ju-On, but the whole package feels closer to underappreciated, but ambitious J-horror oddities from before 2010 like Orochi and the new wave of Western horror movies, because of its metaphorical aspects. Seo Ye-Ji delivers a breakthrough performance here, and the fact that it almost works as a straight-up scary movie ā if you choose to ignore the subtext ā is a result of director Kim Jin-Wonās ambitious grasp. ļ»æ Warning Do Not Play can be seen on Shudder, or acquired from major VOD platforms, and comes highly recommended.

Shudder Shudder continues to impress fans with its exclusive content. Shows like The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs and Cursed Films are getting considerable buzz, while the films theyāre securing exclusive streaming rights to are reliably worth a look. Such is the case with one of the newest offerings, Warning Do Not Play. This South Korean horror effort is from director Kim Jin-Won 2007ās The Butcher. It follows Mi Jung, a young director whoās been preparing a new film for 8 years. She finds herself entangled in pursuit of an infamous banned film that was supposedly made by a ghost. Her search for the film leads her into a web of horror and deceit that she and those around her may never escape. RELATED Shudderās One Cut of the Deadā Coming to DVD/Blu-ray Warning Do Not Play is often effective in its use of tension and atmosphere, despite some distracting use of jump cuts and close-ups. There is some imagery that is also quite chilling. With that said, much of the creepy elements of this film feel a little recycled. Thereās nothing particularly cutting edge with the design or style of Warning Do Not Play, and it ultimately ends up not being very memorable visually. Much of the filmās strength is in its story. Not without itās blemishes, the plot of this film spins a bizarre web of history behind the infamous ghost film and the theater that is central to the narrative. It almost feels like a dedication to the passion for movies. A scary statement about how far a filmmaker is willing to go to complete their films. Shudderās newest exclusive is definitely worth a look. The story is engaging and the atmosphere is effective. What it lacks in style, it makes up for in execution. If Warning Do Not Play and the recent Japanese cult hit, One Cut of the Dead, are any indication, Shudder will be a good place to see new buzzworthy Asian horror films that are worth the watch.

La busqueda de una pelicula grabada por un fantasma es una idea genial, y durante la primera la promesa de una pelicula peculiar cumple... hasta que a la mitad ella consigue la pelicula maldita. Con la informaciĆ³n que se provee en la primera mitad no hay que ser un genio para descifrar cĆ³mo culminarĆ” el asunto. La confrontaciĆ³n final contra el fantasma no fue del todo satisfactoria. Ojala alguien pueda hacer una mejor pelĆcula con esta idea en un futuro. I enjoyed this film for the most part. It has very good atmosphere, acting, and cinematography. Overall, the story holds your attention & feels pretty creepy throughout. However, the latter part of the movie gets a bit muddled, which makes the conclusion feel a bit confusing at first. Still, itās film-within-a-film setup is interesting and Iād say itās definitely worth a watch. Perfect for a rainy day. Entertaining abliet light on scares. Stylistically harkens back to the j horror boom of early 2000s. Unfortunately drops the ball in its rambling, incoherent 3rd act. Not enough investigating the mystery, too much vague haunting and ghost murder. I think itās got good bones, but in the end it didnāt really do it for me. if youāre going to go into found footage go all the way!!!! cowards!! A fun movie about a lost horror movie with some good creepiness. The first half is really spooky getting into the mystery, but once things hit the fan it lost me a little. Still, not a bad watch. While I did like this film more than I disliked it, it was very close. It had some cool gore and a few genuinely creepy sequences. But like... it didn't make a whole lot of sense and in its efforts to be clever or meta it ends up eating its own tail and choking on it a little bit. Does that make any sense at all? I dunno, it's like 3am right now. Anyway; the characters are somewhat interesting andā¦ Warning Do Not Play is just the another average Korean horror film, but good average one. I thought its gonna be silly and stupid execution but the amount of suspense there is not that bad. I liked that this one is not just a horror movie with tsunami of jumpscares but to think about the story plot is easy to catch, but also not cheap. This is also quite brutal, I adored it.
