Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Seire is the period of twenty-one days in which people are supposed to take utmost care in their behaviors and strangers are not allowed to visit to protect a newborn baby from bad luck. The film SEIRE takes an idea from this folk belief. Woojin, who has just became the father of a newborn baby, hears that Seyoung, whom he had once dated, has died. He goes to her funeral without telling his wife, and comes across Yeyoung, Seoyung’s twin sister. Following this encounter, Woojin and his family experience a series of horrific misfortunes. SEIRE is a creative horror movie. It skillfully adopts the old convention of horror movies and, at the same time, modernizes the fear that comes from breaking the taboos of folk beliefs, crossing the border between reality and fantasy vaguely and ominously with bold camera moves and editing.”

Review: (#1) It’s the antithesis of tantalizing, but it’s a fascinating metaphor pulled from the film’s themes and images. (#2) While the film’s premise is built around superstition, this isn’t likely to have as much impact on viewers as the former.

Trailer Rating: C+

Review: A film about post-birth superstitions tries to set up tension around the horrific potential of the storyline. While it’s clear in its narrative thrust, its excitement is nevertheless muted by a lack of energy.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
