Scissors

About This Movie

Scissors (2001) is this intriguing piece that drifts through the eerie ambiance of a Korean barber shop. The barber's tale about the framed scissors is unsettling, blending personal history with the haunting legacy of political turmoil. There’s a stark contrast between the mundane setting and the dark, twisted narrative that unfolds. It plays with pacing—some moments linger, drawing you in, while others hit like a jolt. The practical effects used are surprisingly effective, adding an unsettling realism to the story. It’s not just about horror; there's a depth in how trauma is presented, making it memorable in a niche way.

Scissors has seen a bit of obscurity, with limited availability on physical media, which makes it a curiosity for collectors. The few copies that exist tend to be in demand among those who appreciate lesser-known horror films with a unique cultural angle. It’s not often discussed, but that only adds to its allure for collectors hunting for something different to showcase in their curated collections.
