SIREN (Korea, 2001) Region 3 DVD review
SIREN - Region 3 DVD (Miro Vision release)
I was expecting this Korean film to surpass the action in BACKDRAFT. But despite the ferocity of the fire stunts, it's not as spectacular. Also, whenever there's any special effects, the print changes colour completely, giving it away. Similarly, at various points in the film, it changes slightly in colour and clarity, due to faults in the mastering process, presumably. Quite distracting. The subtitles are average too, they seem to be only approximate translations sometimes. You can follow the story easily enough though.
Full marks to the cast, but the script could have used a few less cliches.
