[6.50/10] Svaha: The Sixth Finger (2019)

Svaha: The Sixth Finger (2019)

Quick Review: Blending mystery, mythology, religion and horror, this Korean crime thriller kicks off in a creepy fashion with a truly terrifying opening scene, but soon after that loses its focus, as it jumps from one sub-plot to another, with the final result being a muddled and hard to follow, if still intriguing, atmospheric, and eerie story that avoids cliches, even if it never actually culminates into something staggering, in spite of its macabre potential.

More lost potential. Obviously the opening scene was someone's brilliant idea that they just couldn't follow up on.

Alex, it was creepy as hell. I wish they had focused more on that part of the story...
