The Red Shoes


Korean cinema's got a higher batting average than most in my book, but that makes it all the more disappointing and deflating when I catch something I just don't enjoy. This one goes off the rails quickly, starting out as at least something resembling an adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale by the same name, but devolving quickly along messy J-horror lines. Uninteresting in every regard, cheaply made, batshit plot - there's just not a lot going for this one.

And yes, the shoes are pink. Go figure.
