YesAsia Editorial Description

We dare you to enter the Spider Forest !

Song Il-gon's (Flower Island) latest cinematic treat offers viewers a cutting edge suspense thriller that promises to leave sitting on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Kang-min (Kan Woo-sung) is working on a documentation for a TV program that features legendary places of evil sources. As a result he heads to a mysterious forest whose appearance resembles that of a gigantic spider's web. Shortly afterwards Kang is discovered inside the forest with severe wounds. After he finally recovers from his injuries and the authorities question him about what was going on in the forest, he tells them that besides seeing two dead bodies he doesn't remember anything. To confirm the truth of Kang's report, an investigation group is sent off to find out about the evil surrounding the Spider Forest …

Spider Forest received nominations from several major film competition events including the Toronto Film Festival, the 52nd Sun Sebastian Film Festival and the TOKYO FILMeX Festival. Talented actor Kan Woo-sung earlier proved his artistic skills in the movie R-POINT .

Professional Review of "Spider Forest DTS"

October 14, 2005

This is a very complex film, which has qualities like the distorting mirror of legend: what you get out is a twisted reflection of what is in your soul. Some will dismiss it as boring or confusing, but I think this would be a mistake. There's a lot more here than meets the eye.

The film opens with a slow pan through a moonlit forest. As you might guess, the spindly trees are draped with soft webs, and the whole scene has a dreamy, timeless feel. The dream slowly turns sour, as real dreams are wont to turn into nightmares, as Min enters the cabin. There's something queasily disturbing about the murder scene: instead of fresh crimson blood splashed around the walls, there are smears of brown crusting the cushions. The first corpse, disclosed by degrees, is in a ludicrously undignified position, and clearly dead for some hours. This discovery of a stale murder scene is somehow more chilling than most cinematic renditions which feature splashed crimson: the grotesquerie of the corpse underlines the sinking horror of the scene. When Min collapses onto the couch gagging, I almost threw up in sympathy.

Director Song has managed to create a half-waking dream that leads the audience into the twisted paths of Min's mind. Kam Woo Seeing, as Min, abandons the 'I don't care' detachment he adopted for R-Point in favor of a plethora of emotions. Horror, fear, desperation, bewilderment, rage, and bleak depression contort Kam's pleasant features, accompanied by massive bruising from a serious head injury. I had to convince myself that the bandaged, weary-eyed patient staggering from his bed in a search for answers, was the same man as the smiling, playful husband of the flashbacks.

Min's story is told through a mix of current timeline, semi-dream sequences and flashbacks. Each sequence, however, begins with an awakening. This is at least partly because Min sustained some serious head injuries after his first awakening, and keeps lapsing into a semi-comatose state. So we're never sure what is real (and real-time), what is flashback, what is imagined, and what is imagined flashback. The whole film has the feel of a fever dream, and avoids easy resolutions and hence easy description. This really makes it a better film, because it will leave you wondering. Images and scenes will pop into your head for days afterwards, teasing and beguiling. You'll begin to feel that, if only you could review that scene, or that one, it would all fall into place. All would make sense.

Which makes you Min. Welcome to a disturbing world.
