Despite its high-falutin' anti-war message, this Korean outing is really just a bog-standard ghost story, with a "sacred" island south of Ho Chi Minh City playing the role of haunted house.
It's 1972, the fag-end of the Vietnam war, and a group of soldiers are searching for a lost platoon.
Apocalypse Now gets plundered, as does Blair Witch, Deathwatch and the genuinely eerie Ring cycle.
The whole thing is currently being remade in the US (by Zhang Yimou).
Now that is scary.
