Why watch this film?
Generally, when we think of zombie plots, our minds take us directly to Romero's creatures: dying beings, falling apart, walking in an awkward way, but representing danger due to resistance and the danger of a single bite. That's why it's curious how 'Bangbeob: Jaechaui' follows a totally different path: the feature film follows the story of an independent journalist who investigates paranormal phenomena. In this story, which is a derivative of the series 'The Cursed', the journalist goes after the death of a man who is killed by another man who had been dead for three months. That's when they discover the existence of cursed zombies. Directed by Yong-wan Kim, 'Bangbeob: Jaechaui' does not use zombies in a conventional way. They "resurrected" because of a kind of voodoo magic. They are controlled, they are dangerous and, above all, they don't even have the appearance of zombies as we know them from the movies. They can run, kill, chase and even talk. With that, Kim quickly manages to create some really good scenes. There is tension in the air of 'Bangbeob: Jaechaui', mainly when the director puts the zombies into play. When they are on stage, the threat is increasing - despite even driving taxis. Good surprise of zombie cinema.

Horror
The Exorcism
The Exorcism marks the second film featuring star Russell Crowe in an exorcism role within a year—the other being the fun and carefree The Pope's Exorcist. Here, however, Crowe isn't exactly an exorcist but an actor playing this common type of character in a horror film. Marked by filming delays, interrupted during the pandemic and resumed four years later, the feature attempts to play with the metanarrative of the proposal and how actors relate to their characters, making brief comments on how the stories they portray can seep into the lives of the actors themselves. It is far (very far!) from a perfect film, with a broken rhythm and a glaring lack of depth. However, it can still be entertaining—despite all the parental drama—to watch Russell Crowe once again portray this character battling demons.

Run Rabbit Run
Loss and family trauma have been fertile themes in horror in recent years, with films like The Babadook and Relic. Understandably, similar themes can become tiresome, which could be said about Run Rabbit Run. The film follows a fertility doctor (Sarah Snook, Succession), whose seven-year-old daughter (Lily LaTorre) begins to exhibit strange behaviors that mimic those of a deceased family member. The movie builds tension around this mystery, gradually revealing the events that led to the past tragedy. Its lack of novelty is compensated by a genuinely tense and terrifying atmosphere, with strong performances from Snook and debutante Lily LaTorre.
