Bloody Reunion (2006)
Solid gruesome hack-n-slash from Korea,
Bloody Reunion tells the tale of a group of students reuniting at their aging teacher's home. I think that what honestly stands out here is the story and how it's slowly unveiled, like peeling back the skins of an onion - I'm always impressed with a movie who can reveal a back story without painful exposition. Quite frankly, this movie had me on the edge of my seat, wanting to learn more about the histories each student had in their past.
Some people have complained about the ending and, at first, I was amongst them, until I took a moment and thought about it, finally deciding that I liked where we ended up...
[SPOILERS]
Since story-telling is what makes this movie strong, I appreciate that, in the end, it's revealed that the unraveling story was told by an unreliable narrator... Not your average whodunit twist when you realize that the whole first two thirds of the film is a fabrication... I appreciate the direction that they wound up taking with it.[/SPOILERS]
I give it a
3.75/5.
