About This Movie

Regret is a curious entry in the horror genre, with a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after viewing. The story unfolds in the eerie Buldang Village, where Dr. Go’s encounters with the ghost of Ok-nyeo create a layered narrative about love and vengeance. It’s not just about scares; the pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build gradually as the ghost demands her dark ritual. What really stands out are the practical effects, which, despite their limitations, add an unsettling charm.
