ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

siderite The movie does have its faults, but not being creepy scary is not one of them. A military group is sent to investigate a missing company that mysteriously vanished and now is sending radio signals. They go there and nasty stuff begins to happen.The reason the film is so effective is because it doesn't skimp away on the character development. Each person has a name, a way they react to one another and are plausible characters. It adds to the viewer's compassion that everyone except the lieutenant are poor uneducated saps trying to get home to their families and villages. Then they die.The feeling of hopelessness is both a strong and weak part of the movie. On one hand, if you are in the middle of things you can hardly just give up, but on the other hand, if you see there is nothing you can do, why bother? And if the characters are obviously ill equipped to deal with the situation, the details are irrelevant for some viewers.As usual in the latest Asian horror, the ghosts are hardly interested in the logic of things. There is no right or wrong, they just need to separate people from their lives and they do it in the most creepy way. I believe R-Point is pretty scary and would have a maximum effect while watched at night with no lights on.

kevin_crighton When a message is received from a group of soldiers sent on a mission 6 months earlier, a second group is sent to find out what happened to them....R-Point is another in what is becoming almost a sub-group from the ghost story, being another one set around soldiers. There have been several over the years, The Keep, Deathwatch, The Bunker amongst others. And while not the best in the genre, R-Point does have it's moments.The cast give good performances, the direction Su-chang Kong is first rate, keeping the movie tense and atmospheric. And one of the good things, like I think good ghost and horror movies should be able to do, is never fully explain everything. Some of the best horror movies go for this approach, and it works here.It's not overly bloody, even though it does feature soldiers and guns. As I said, it goes more for atmosphere and tension than gore. And it does this quite well.It's a very well made movie, and worth looking out for.

TheOnlyJorge r-point is a cursed place on a battlefield where something terrible happened over thirty years ago. now a group of soldiers have found this place and are going to stay there while hiding from enemies.what these soldiers do not know is that this place is haunted by spirits of the past's dead. soon strange things begin happening and the men are not sure what they should do. many do not believe in spirits but what is happening cannot be explained any other way.r-point is a very scary movie in a non traditional way. it builds suspense and terror slowly by using the soldiers of the present and the ghosts in the past. the results are great, intense, and truly frightening.if you are a horror fan you need to check this one out, even if you do not like foreign movies. it is a great creepy film.

Claudio Carvalho On 07 January 2007, the South Korean base in Nah-Trang, Vietnam, receives a radio transmission from a missing platoon presumed dead. The high-command assigns the veteran and decorated Lieutenant Choi Tae-in (Woo-seong Kam) to lead a squad with eight other soldiers and rescue the missing soldiers from the R-Point. When they arrive in the location, they have a shooting and defeat a Vietnamese woman with a machine gun in a trench. Later, they find a tombstone telling that one hundred years ago, Chinese killed Vietnamese, dropped them in a lake and built a temple over the place, being a sacred location to the Vietnamese. While chasing the missing soldiers, weird things happen with the rescue team."R-Point" is an original, scary and ambiguous journey to hell of the innermost fear of a group of soldiers. This horror movie explores the supernatural, but its ambiguity allows the logical interpretation that nothing happened but the madness process of a group of stressed soldiers, alone in a creepy and sacred location, affected by the dark atmosphere of the spot and killing each other. An Asian horror movie is my favorite genre due to this type of intelligent screenplay that leaves the interpretation open to the viewers. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Fantasmas da Guerra" ("Ghosts of War")
