A team of talented Korean directors lend their efforts to
this quartet of terror tales, and the results are uneven. It starts with 'Don’t
Answer the Door' from Jung Bum-shik, the ineffectual story of a brother and
sister who forget their mom’s warning and let a bad man into their apartment.
Next up is 'Endless Flight' from director Lim Dae-woon, the story of a serial
killer being transported to prison on a commercial flight. The way he escapes
and starts killing off the passengers and crew is unbelievable, but a lot of
fun. 'Secret Recipe' from Hong Ji-young is the best of the bunch, a genuinely
creepy story of a well preserved older man and the sinister way he uses his
young brides to keep him young, too. Finally, there’s the total gore fest
called 'Ambulance on the Dead Zone' by Kim Gok and Kim Sun. It’s the
claustrophobic tale of a team of paramedics transporting a young girl who may
or may not be infected to the hospital. The tension is almost unbearable,
broken only by the waves of blood the director’s splash around the inside of
the ambulance.
