Review: Paste Magazine: ‘Haemoo’, a suspenseful gem that deserves to be seen. Tripping the Fest Fantastic A look at the best films of the 2014 festival By Tim Basham While Fantastic Fest may be seen as a genre event, any festival would be hard-pressed to match this year’s FF films. It may be the best crop in their ten-year history. [...] Here were my favorites: Haemoo If there’s any justice, Haemoo will receive an Oscar nomination for best foreign film. It’s that good. But it’s also dark, may be too dark for the academy. When a struggling and desperate fishing boat captain agrees to smuggle some Chinese-Koreans on his trawler, a horrible disaster occurs. In the midst of the danger, however, director Shim Sung-Bo brings romance into tragedy. There are some seriously grand performances from the cast, and the cinematography is reminiscent of The Perfect Storm. With the help of producer/writer/director Joon-ho Bong (The Host) Sung-Bo has created a suspenseful gem that deserves to be seen. Admin’s notes: 1. Fantastic Fest is the largest genre film festival in the U.S., specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and just plain fantastic movies from all around the world (fantasticfest) 2. Parts unrelated to Haemoo were omitted. Source: Paste Magazine Shared by: JYJ3 + ParkYoochunSGFC+CheonsasPuertoRico -ymyc~
