Killer Toon (2013)
4/10
Off to a great start, but then...
22 July 2022
Alright, well I have actually had the 2013 South Korean horror movie "Deo Web-Toon: Ye-Go Sal-In" (aka "Killer Toon") laying around since 2019, but I just never got around to watching it. Why? Well, simply because the English title "Killer Toon" just left a foul taste in my mouth.

But I opted to get around to watching it here in 2022, and I will say that the movie was off to a great start. And I initially felt that I had been missing out on a great South Korean horror movie here by not actually getting around to seeing it. But then the movie started to falter and sputter around midways through, and its momentum settled into a mediocre slump.

Writers Sang-hak Lee, Hoo-Kyoung Lee, Sun-ho Cho and Sung-hee Jo were off to a good start, as I mentioned above, but it seems that too many creative inputs spoil a good idea, and the movie ended up being somewhat of a generic horror movie, which didn't really offer much worthwhile watching.

The acting performances in the movie were good, I will say that much, but it was a shame that the actors and actresses weren't given a properly constructed script and storyline to work with.

If you enjoy South Korean horror movies, then there are far better choices on the market than "Deo Web-Toon: Ye-Go Sal-In". I managed to sit through this movie in its entire runtime, however I found myself not particularly entertained.

My rating of director Yong-Gyun Kim's 2013 horror movie "Deo Web-Toon: Ye-Go Sal-In" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.
