Bad but in a good way

Makes no sense Gives 0 answers to any questions Refuses to elaborate EndsWhat did they mean by this? None the less if you like really dumb and over the top films that are so bad they are good, this makes that cut, would make for a good watch with a group of people to make fun of the movie while watching it.No answers as to how he gets the ability, no backstory to the protagonist, no nothing, lmao. Most of the film will have you just laughing in disbelief...... Should really add a comedy tag to it too, it does get kinda "serious" to the end but then again a few scenes later you are just laughing.

Interesting

Not a bad film at all. Very interesting ride that kept to a nice pace. I enjoyed the story and I liked the actors. It felt a bit like anime so I wouldn't be surprised if it was based off of an anime story. I enjoyed it.

Not your usual super-hero film

HAUNTERS is an original take on the superhero movie. No capes, daft aerials, or superman latex costumes (why do superheroes always look and sound a bit gay?) Instead we have two young kids from the streets of South Korea. Both have a limp and both have the strange power to control other people's minds on sight. Cho-in is the bad guy, polishing his powers to live a comfortable lifestyle. Kyu-nam is the good guy, championing honesty and friendship in the face of Cho-in's merciless killing and avarice. From this simple idea, writer-director Min-suk Kim builds an intelligent, fast-paced thriller that keeps the audience wondering where it will go next. Although I wasn't entirely won over, I enjoyed it much more than the high budget but rather predicable niche into which Marvel comic super-heroes have fallen. With its fine South Korean pedigree, Haunters makes sure than people suffer realistically when they die and that blood never looks like strawberry jam.
