The 8th Night Review: Not a strong Horror but is a Mystery Drama, you can give it a Watch.


The 8th Night portrays the battle of exorcists to stop the revival of the two puzzling creatures that tortured people and were secured up 2 coffins for a very long time. In-depth, a man who was before an exorcist, endures until he faces an evil presence that is liberated. The night exists between real and unreal, their battle to stop the restoration of the devil has started. Around two and half thousand years prior, two mysterious creatures that tortured people have secured up 2 coffins. They are needed to invade 7 powerless human hosts to accept their structure. 

Following years and years, Monk Ha-Jung (Lee Eol), the defender of one of the coffins, understands that one of the creatures has stirred thus he asks monk Chung-Seok (Nam Da-reum) to look for Park Jin-soo (Lee Sung-min), who was destined to stop these creatures. Jin-soo starts the chase to discover the being with Chung-Seok all together prevents 'it' from causing devastation on the earth. 'The 8th Night' opens with a Buddhist history described in Sanskrit, which tells of the eyes, 'the red one' and the 'dark one' who was bolted independently to forestall the entries of terrible from opening. 


Yet, one evening, a paleologist opened the seal of 'the red', which turned into the start of terror. One by one, the dead bodies with horrible conditions are discovered each day in various areas. Every casualty was associated with a meditation club established by the classicist. The case is examined by investigators Ho Tae (Park Hae Joon) and Dong-Jin (Kim Dong Young). Young priest Chang Seok (Nam Da Reum) is allocated to discover Jin-Soo (Lee Sung Min), a previous gatekeeper priest who is considered fit for overcoming 'the red one'. Jin-Soo should kill the female mystic who turns into the last venturing stone of 'the red one'. 

Written and directed by Kim Tae-Hyung, once finished, The 8th Night looks more likely to be a drama and murder mystery film as opposed to a cult or exorcism as guaranteed. This can be seen from the different narratives that arose to keep Red and Black from joining together and rising once more. Also, the narrative style of this film is very tedious. The presentation of the characters which is completed in stages is supplemented by flashbacks, then, the story of the Red who bounces starting with one demonstration then onto the next has taken up the greater part, more than half the duration of this film.

Flavors of pressure arose out of the action of Kim Ho-Tae, played by Park Hae-Joon. Ho-Tae is a Violent Crimes Unit investigator who attempts to tackle the mystery of the puzzling passings of a few groups in seven days. Park Hae-Joon's actions in settling on different choices that Ho-tae made effectively started my feelings as a viewer. Precisely equivalent to what he did when he played Lee Tae-gracious in the show The World of the Married. Truly, the storyline just began to get intriguing an hour before the film finished. The guarantee of the trailer starts to be satisfied. Cult narratives started to embellish the story play, albeit the exorcism action appeared to be only a fix before arriving at the end. 


The 8th Night seemed to end the story so quickly in the wake of building the story for quite a while toward the start. Thus, my assumptions fell unreservedly, and felt that this film was no longer however intriguing as it might have been toward the start. Not even frightening or maximum, to me. Nevertheless, the component of drama is extremely solid in this film. The public might be captivated and may rehash certain sections as an endless supply of mystery starts to unfurl. Moreover, each character is also clarified exhaustively from the start to the furthest limit of the film. 

The fascinating thing about The 8th Night also comes from the family chemistry displayed by Lee Sung-min and Nam Da-reum in this film. This film is a get-together for the two actors in the wake of featuring in the show Memory in 2016. With the experience of watching the two eyeballs need to join for two hours and five minutes, The 8th Night settles on to call this film a mystery drama as opposed to a cult horror. In case you're an enthusiast of horror, you can check it out.
