And the serial killings continue . . .

REVIEW:
" There's good news, though. Instead of the ghost and her victims, the real heart of this film is So-yeong's investigation of the murders. Much to my surprise, the investigation is well structured, intelligent, and gripping. Although it sometimes employs ridiculous police logic, information is doled out at just the right speed. As we learn new information each character is fleshed out well. Best of all, it doesn't feel like a typical police investigation. So-yeong and Hyun-ki have genuinely interesting discussions, and don't get into the generic, stupid situations that most film detectives do.

As well, Arang is a fascinating exploration of an important social issue. The film is based on an old Korean legend in which a young woman is raped and murdered. The film is a contemporary retelling of this story, which I assume is familiar to Korean audiences. As in the original legend, the ghost of the woman is out for revenge against a group of men who raped her and got out of paying for this crime. So-yeong has a sexual attack in her own past as well, and she uses her position of power in order to go after men who abuse women. There is an attitude around the station that some women are asking for it, and that rape just happens sometimes. Could we possibly still have that attitude towards women? Are these kinds of crimes still swept under the rug? If so, the social purpose of Arang is much more important than its entertainment value as a horror film or a detective thriller. Several genre films lately have explored South Korean social issues such as plastic surgery, the drug industry, and treatment of women. It's an important trend of which this film is a part... "
