The Closet (2020) Drinking Game
Take a Drink: every time a closet’s doors are opened
Take a Drink: every time a creepy doll shows up
Take a Drink: for every flashback
Do a Shot: for every ritual that’s begun
By: Henry J. Fromage (Three Beers) –
Korean occult stuff is pretty creepy
A Toast
good production values
intriguingly cultural specificity like the occult stuff meets the willingness to go some dark places with the ghost’s origins (I’d be pissed off, too)
strong finish with some good pathos
Beer Two
why is Ha Jung Woo in this? Vastly overqualified- like seeing George Clooney taking, say, a Dennis Quaid part
Beer Three
a big jump-scary, a bit of a rehash of concepts from Poltergeist, The Conjuring series, and an entire generation of Japanese horror
Verdict
Christian Petzold has been on the rise for some time, but with Transit, he crafts his Casablanca, a film every bit as romantic and tragic as that makes it sound.
