Daisy. Ring. Rosemary’s Baby
Daisy (2006) 6/10
Gorgeous scenary and excellent production values but the film is let down by a weak plot, unrealistic characters and all round predictability. Jeon Ji Heon, easily the best korean actress around manages to bump this film up a few notches by sheer charisma. Ultimately, Daisy is a mediocre film which looks very good. Worth watching only because of the star presence of Jeon.
Ring (2002) 5/10
This 2002 remake of Hideo Nakata’s the Ring is a dilluted version of the original. Not even 1/3 as scary.
Rosemary’s Baby (1968) 7/10
Although not at all scary by today’s standard’s, Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby still stands out for solid direction, plot and a stellar lead performance by Mia Farrow. Just as Stanley Kubrick struck gold when he dabbled in the horror genre, Polanski also shows that he is able to make a well crafted thriller. I say thriller and not horror because Rosemary’s Baby isn’t really a horror film but more of a psychological film.
