Arriving too late, Kang (Gam Woo-Sung) chases the killer only to be hit by a speeding car. Review: Dazzling Korean Noir Horror; A grisley, David Lynchian blend of Mulholland Dr. & Blue Velvet - Fans of Mulholland Drive will find immense mind-warping pleasure in the relatively unknown South Korean horror thriller 'Spider Forest.' Dark imagery, asymmetrical chronology, shades of mythology and a narrative that takes the viewer on a sojourn through a stylized, blended reality comprised of both waking and dream states are familiar parallels that all Lynch fans will recognize (ps. look for the blue key!) and undoubtedly appreciate. The disjointed timeline may feel chaotic at first, but the plot is never incoherent and it never insults your intelligence by spoon-feeding the audience plot points with overly verbose expository, ridiculous cliches and contrived script/sound cues like the majority of mainstream studio movies have a compulsion to do. This is a story crafted with wit and it never fails to pile on the tension or ply your anxieties and fears with macabre/grotesque imagery (like spiders crawling on corpses--which always gets my skin crawling without fail--similar to the opening sequence in 2003's 'Memories of Murder'). The Tartan Asia Extreme release is officially out of print and EXTREMELY hard to find in new, unopened condition. The fact that desertcart is selling these last 9 copies for $13 when such mint copies of this sought-after foreign cult classic are worth at least 3 to 4 times more, is shocking. If you're looking for a Korean homage to David Lynch and are thirsty for the kind of graphic noir you can sink your teeth into and rewatch multiple times (undoubtedly a necessity with this gem), Spider Forest is your introductory point to the more philosophical side of Korean horror. Metaphysics and eschatology are just some of the film's more exploratory themes and the structure of the story is such that you almost feel as if you yourself are in some kind of lucid dream state when the credits start rolling. A perfect addition to any movie night where you watch Mulholland Drive. It would make an excellent movie double-pack if they sold both films together in the same set like the distribution studios do with countless other films. It's unfortunate that Spider Forest is from that pre-blu ray age of Korean Cinema where lack of popularity means no future access to getting a 1080/2160p transfer on BDR. Despite its 480p transfer quality, the transfer is still rather pristine considering the restrictive resolution and bitrate, and a 768kbps DTS track ensures a sound profile clear and fleshed out enough to sate any audiophiles sound-lust (most DVDs are 192-224 kbps AC3; 768kbps DTS is a DEFINITE and most desired inclusion that helps compensate for the lower resolution and bitrate of the video track). 5/5, a required midnight-no-lights viewing experience. Review: some other connections - I re-watched this again last night. Boy, K-films need two showings!( for any one who does not understand Korean) One to get the gist of the plot from the subtitles, the next to really watch the actors! All the differance in the world. Did anyone notice the puppets? The presence of horror and the warmth of love, grief and remorse are perfect in this little piece. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000ARXG68 | | Actors | Gam Woo-seong, Jang Hyeon-seong, Kang Gyeong-heon, Seo Jeong-min, Son Byeong-ho | | Best Sellers Rank | #210,518 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #2,948 in Foreign Films (Movies & TV) #8,875 in Horror (Movies & TV) #10,247 in Mystery & Thrillers (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (55) | | Director | Song Il-gon | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 842498030325 | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | AC-3, Closed-captioned, Color, DTS Surround Sound, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 4.48 ounces | | Release date | October 25, 2005 | | Run time | 2 hours | | Studio | Tartan Video | | Subtitles: | English, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Horror - **Language:** Korean - **Runtime:** 2 hours ## Images ![Spider Forest - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41uH34tBHlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dazzling Korean Noir Horror; A grisley, David Lynchian blend of Mulholland Dr. & Blue Velvet *by C***D on April 7, 2020* Fans of Mulholland Drive will find immense mind-warping pleasure in the relatively unknown South Korean horror thriller 'Spider Forest.'

Structurally and thematically the movie creates a rich atmosphere, with its creative and witty use of storytelling, and with its unreliable narrator. It falters somewhat in easing viewers into this otherworldly experience - making several plot twists rather predictable. Ultimately, it succeeds in transferring a dreamlike, surreal psychological fugue to a series of episodes, that must be rearranged, interpreted, and completed by the viewer.
