"The whole world seems cursed"
I don't usually watch horror, but the story of seemed interesting and fascinating. So, I thought I should give it a try. I just finished watching it, so the emotions are still fresh and raw.
Just like as headline says, for Ga-In, her whole world seems cursed with no way to escape from the curse. The first half of the movie progresses into her realizing the curse she always bore and the last half is about her life turning into an empty pithole of what is real and what is not.
《Don't trust anyone. Your friends, your family. Not even yourself. Then, you just might live》
Those are the words that she thought to be an escape from her curse. A ray of hope to survive. But those words were what created a path that led her into destruction.
There are several jump scares and out of nowhere, dream sequences that gives it a disguise of our typical horror movie. But it really isn't. Those sudden dream sequences serves a purpose. And I believe those jump scares are way of alerting viewers of the possible danger. Then, when a seemingly normal person enters the scene, it makes viewers and Ga-in feel relieved only to be introduced with the real danger.
The acting was the main reason why I feel some of the most ridiculous scenes felt fascinating and intriguing to watch. All the actors done their part almost perfectly. But the actor who played as Ga-in did a very great job. All the emotions she potrayed and how she delivered her dialogues which weren't that imapctful left an impact and captivated me as a viewer.
The storyline was gloomy and somewhat thrilling and the actors did a great job to keep the vibe in their acting. Even a smiling face seemed sad and a sad face scary because at times, it's just Ga-in's delusion and at times, the face will soon show a new level of insanity.
I didn't notice the music much as the story was pretty fast-paced in my opinion and I didn't want to miss any important scenes.
I don't think Someone Behind You will be as much thrilling to watch the second time as the first time. But I think if you enjoy the gloominess of this movie, then you will be able to re-watch it, maybe, not with the same excitement, but at least, without getting bored since it is somewhat a fast-paced movie with talented actors and a good storyline.
