An Obituary

About This Movie

An Obituary has this eerie, oppressive atmosphere that sticks with you. The pacing is slow, which really heightens the sense of dread as the young man searches for answers in the desolate Korean mountains. You can almost feel the chill in the air. The practical effects are handled really well, adding a layer of authenticity that many modern horrors seem to overlook. Performances are grounded and relatable, which makes the unfolding horror more unsettling. What stands out for me is how it weaves themes of grief and loss into the fabric of the supernatural, creating a unique blend. Not your typical jump scares; it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, which is something I appreciate in this genre.
