Korean horror film pioneer Kim Dong Bin (Ring Virus) brings us the latest in "Asian Horror" with Red Eye, a terrifying tale about a train haunted by the ghostly victims of a terrible tragedy. In the late 1960s, a horrific train accident results in the death of a hundred people. The cause of the accident is never determined, and the case soon becomes an unsolved - and ultimately forgotten - mystery.
The film flashes forwards almost two decades later to find new train attendant Mi Sun (Jang Shin Young from When Springtime Comes) as she takes the last train of the day in a torrential downpour. Things seem normal at first, but suddenly the train begins to stop every ten minutes. Strangely, when the train resumes its course, everything inside has changed! Time and space overlap, as do the past and present as the film rolls onward to its haunting, but poignant climax! Featuring appearances by newcomer Song Il Gook, Kwak Ji Min (Samaria), and Lee Eol (Addicted), Red Eye is one Korean horror flick worth a look! "
This movie is also named "Ghost Train". In 1988, a train travelling from Seoul to Yeosu was involved in a myesterious accident that killed about 100 people. The cause of the accident was never discovered. Now, 16 years later, the train is making its final run. Not long after the trip begins, the passengers start to notice strange things as the ghosts of the victims of the 80's crash begin to make their presence felt.
After 16 years of the accident, the last train of the day is ready to take off at its platform as the rain is pouring. A train attendant Mi-sun is on board first time at work and the train leaves its platform as scheduled and rapidly gains the full speed. All of sudden, it stops for 10 minutes without any reason, and restarts. However, when it begins to run, everything is totally different from 10 minutes ago. All she can see is from the 80's and old newspaper with the date written July 16, 1988. Does she see an illusion, or reality? If this unbelievable scene is reality, where is she indeed? What happened during the 10 minutes when the train stopped and where are they headed to? |
