I have recently been watching a series of movies called 4 Horror Tales. Forbidden Floor is the third installment in this series of Korean horror movies, and I have recently found Korea to be very talented when it comes to creating scary movies.
 I have recently been watching the third installment of the 4
Horror Tales stories, and in actual fact, I think this is the best one
so far. It was kind of like Ju-On in its style, but the story was told
in a very unique way to this type of horror film .
The basics of this story are (spoiler free) ,
Min-young moves onto the fifth floor of a new studio apartment with her
six-year-old daughter, Joo-hee. She's concerned when her downstairs
neighbour, HAN Chang-soo, says that he cannot tolerate the noise above
him, even though the two women live tranquilly. Furthermore, she is
anxious about other residents' strange behaviors and their mysterious
deaths.
Min-young hardens
herself mentally after the move into the new house, largely because of
her daughter's unprecedented odd behavior and continual run-ins with a
bizarre woman. Convinced that Joo-hee has fallen sick and perturbed by
the mysterious events around the studio apartment, Min-young looks to
disclose the truth by herself.
The
little girl in this film is a brilliant actress, being able to switch
instantaneously from a cute and well behaved child, into a demonically
possessed monster, making the film that much more convincing to the
viewer. There is also a twist to the story right at the end, which I
did actually suspect, but it wasnt exactly made to be obvious.
This
movie was actually really good, its not exactly scary, but it shows
human nature to be what it truly is…every man for themselves.
