The Red Shoes (2005)
REVIEWER RATING:
7/10
The Red Shoes is yet another installment in the wave of inanimate objects causing misfortune to its owners, but unlike films like Cello, it's actually not bad. Director Yong-gyun Kim uses the tired sub-genre and predictability to his advantage by combining bloody deaths and stylistic sequences with a relatively fast pace to create another interesting above-average entry in the long line of South Korean horror films. Based on the Hans Christian Andersen story of the same name, the film details a woman and her daughter as they move into an old apartment building after discovering her husband's infidelity.
