(Korea) The Tower (2012)

[FrighT MasteR]

A remake of the 1970's flick The Towering Inferno, this is the latest Korean disaster flick brought to us from Sector 7 director Ji-hoon Kim.

The story takes place on Xmas Eve where a helicopter accidentally crashes into one of two luxury high-rise apartments, causing a fire, which spreads instantly due to the poorly developed building. This also causes the building to slowly crack and crumble over time. It's up to a group of firemen to aid in the rescue of several of the remaining survivors stuck inside the building before it collapses.

This is one of the better survival flicks I've seen in a while, as it's chock-full of great characters and heart, especially as we witness strength and courage shine in the direst of situations with certain characters. Filled with a lot of tense situations, you really feel for these people and what they're going through. And while most films are ruined by the ending, I thought the final bits of this flick couldn't have been done any better. 7/10 (but a VERY high 7) Definitely give this one a look
