Personally I wouldn't describe Death Bell as a horror/thriller, but rather as a mystery/thriller. Story is not very original, but still quite exciting. And the kills in this movie are portrayed nicely. Not really special, but not bad either.
Average.

Foreign.
Gosa is a film that takes quite a bit of hay on its fork, and that seems to be a bit of a habit in this kind of cinema. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but with some flexibility it can still be looked around. Movies can be great with it, but that is unfortunately not the case with Gosa. It turns out detrimentally.
The first half of the movie is probably the better half. In any case, the acting is nice and annoying, but in this film also seriously bad. People think that if you roll on the floor and have a loud voice, you immediately act well, but that is not the case. I think I had forgotten every character except the teacher by the end of the movie.
Visually, the film has some nice images. The main advantage of this Gosa is that it all feels modern, like a film that also does its best to respond to contemporary trends. Fast editing, lots of variation in the horror, but in the end it all takes its ultimate toll when the second half arrives. It becomes a mess.
I didn't know my god what actually happened in the second half of this movie. Everything is a bit mixed up, but the film just runs around aimlessly between them, until it finally crashes its head flat against a wall. I was fine to watch, but the thing is, I had no idea what I was actually watching anymore.
For example, Gosa is still a nice film visually, but content-wise a great chaos. The film refuses to follow the logical path and makes rather strange choices that lead to a turn that didn't necessarily need all that craziness. I don't regret seeing this movie, but that's where it ends. I'm not exactly happy with it either.

Well, a South Korean cross between Saw and Escape room as far as I'm concerned. Solve some riddles while the life of a tortured prisoner depends on it. In are quite blandly developed where the finesse and decisiveness of a Saw is omitted. It remains a meritorious effort, nothing more.
Logic and such films usually cannot be used in one sentence. That's no different here. otherwise also quite messy, but flashy, but the latter could be the cause of the former. Lots of screaming and groaning, not to mention the wailing of the students.
There is no tension and in a horror it is usually not good if you don't care who dies next.

Such a Beautifully graphic intro, Glorious Devastation, a feast for the senses. Our characters are students in a testing scenario, possibly high school. Looks as though we've something beginning to happen to one of our young characters, possibly the pressure could be causing hallucinations or is even other worldly shenanigans.
Wonderfully Sick and Twisted things are now in full swing, and I'm not sure where it's going yet, but it looks like a Horrorific adventure for our characters. Wonderfully Horrorific and Gory circumstances have found our characters, and it looks like it's getting better by the moment.
This film is a real treat, Wonderfully Sick and Twisted, with just the right amount of Gruesome Gore to Titillate any hardened Horror Fan. You're going to Love the way the film plays out, I know I'm Salivating for the 2nd installment.
