Featured review
For a long time now, South Korea has been impressing audiences around the world with very well produced and executed horror features, and "Pamyo" (2024) is no exception. This promising project stands out in all aspects, being above average.
The initial premise, involving voices of help when you close your eyes, sounds scary and intense, although the story develops into more complex plots throughout the first act. The cast and performances are a highlight of the film, with very convincing performances, especially in scenes involving rituals. Despite having impeccable photography, the most interesting element of the film is the plot, surrounded by symbolism and a rich mythology. The story develops differently from Western works, opting for few explanations, which requires the viewer's full attention to understand a good part of the work. Although the antagonist is not particularly memorable, he has a great design and delivers tense moments.
Jang Jae-hyun, director of the project, had already demonstrated his aptitude and commitment to the genre in "Sabaha" (2019), another horror production with excellent results. "Pamyo" once again confirms the director's skill, consolidating him as a director of great talent in his filmography.
