Warning Do Not Play is a South-Korean horror that can proudly stand among the great Asian movies from this decade with a focus on filmmaking, One Cut Of The Dead and The Kirishima Thing among them. It is essentially a ghost story spanning decades which doubles as a cursed-object movie featuring frequently disturbing imagery â mostly of characters in a catatonic state inflicting self-harm â and while the scares can be bare-bones at times, the movie works best as a metaphor for the worst impulses of filmmakers today how they sometimes end up casually exploiting the suffering of others and misappropriate their stories in order to further their own image or to simply get ahead. On the brighter side, it also demonstrates how cinema can be a beacon of hope, making films an act of salvation, and how just pointing a camera at someone and shooting can be the best possible decision. When we first meet Mi-Jung, sheâs having a nightmare of herself being alone in a movie theater, and she slowly wakes up and sees a blinking eye on her phoneâs cracked screen. As if to foreshadow the movieâs themes, and its structure, this image is a great sum-up of the whole story that is to come it turns out that Mi-Jung is still dreaming, and when she wakes up for real, we get acquainted to her real plight sheâs a horror filmmaker under heavy stress because of a looming deadline; if she canât come up with a scary concept for her newest project in two weeks, she and the whole team will lose the gig. When she hears about an urban legend concerning a film supposedly directed by a ghost that caused walkouts and heart-attacks, she travels to Daejeon to find it. Mi-Jung is immediately likeable, but she can be immensely manipulative as well. She will have her way no matter what. After she doesnât get anywhere with the film university staff, she meets three male film-school students in a bar, chatting about Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve the movie uses intertextuality to great effect, and its approach feels universal â itâs a story that can be placed into another geographical area without it losing much of its meaning one of the funniest lines is Your work suffers because you just canât accept Nolan!â, but the sleek cinematography that can feel like a tour-guide to a haunted house, and the stunningly rich color palette are there for diehard Asian cinema fans to enjoy. She promises to grant them any wish if they can come up with a scary story from the Daejeon region. ANY wish?â, one of them replies, and they start arguing among themselves until all three end up sharing the same story, one related to the same hauntedâ film from before. The protagonist is no stranger to stealing either. After getting her hands on a clip from the movie, she manages to track down the director and plans to get the full version somehow. What happens in the second act, after the more investigating an urban legendâ feel of the first one, can seem like standard Asian horror there are definitely some 10 to 15 minutes that feel too minimal, too focused on jump-scares rather than on the actual characters, as the true nature of the film comes into play and Mi-Jung has to fight for her life. What she actually does is just walk around slowly with bated breath while the film is teasing the viewer with the obvious scare waiting just around the corner, and while that can be a plus for atmosphere, it also clashes with what came before and might lose some viewers. But worry not just stick with it. It not only recovers from almost having devolved into a standard, low to mid-tied Asian horror, but it also ends up being an excellent example of a frame story, while perfectly using the show, donât tellâ principle it includes found-footage elements to tell the tale of the cursed film, and makes the characters behind the original movie feel like actual people, by using clever parallels between them and Mi-Jung and benefiting from some truly creative camerawork. It never ever tells you that itâs about filmmakers exploiting real people and their suffering for personal gain, becoming more distanced from reality and their own humanity â it just lets you witness that first-hand with almost every scene, and carries multiple meanings. The best thing about the movie, besides its visuals and storytelling, is the character development. The original film director is a former shell of himself because of past events, and Mi-Jungâs transformation in the filmâs climax occurs within a split-second â a result of her survival instincts, but also the fact that she might be different from the get that footage no matter whatâ school of thought. Whether she truly changes or is just more clever and devious than the other characters and finds a way to justify her behavior, of if she chooses to just ignore the past, thatâs up for interpretation. As such, the movie illustrates how the current generation of directors can borrow from what came before them, ranging from gentle homage to blatant plagiarism, but can also subvert and refocus. Like the character development and what it actually signifies in the larger picture, the filmâs twist ending can be interpreted in a lot of ways it serves as a cautionary tale for the viewer, but also perfectly illustrates what exactly Mi-Jung has lost in her journey of recovering the movie Missing and forcing her way into the directorâs seat. As such, it is a pitch-perfect ending to a film that manages â in just 86 minutes â to mix urban legends with curses and angry ghosts, while rarely letting go of its characters, their inner worldâ and their journey. The filmâs structure and approach to scares can be similar to that of Ringu or Ju-On, but the whole package feels closer to underappreciated, but ambitious J-horror oddities from before 2010 like Orochi and the new wave of Western horror movies, because of its metaphorical aspects. Seo Ye-Ji delivers a breakthrough performance here, and the fact that it almost works as a straight-up scary movie â if you choose to ignore the subtext â is a result of director Kim Jin-Wonâs ambitious grasp. ï»ż Warning Do Not Play can be seen on Shudder, or acquired from major VOD platforms, and comes highly recommended.

SYNOPSIS Mi-Jung Seo Ye-Ji is a rookie film director and she has been preparing a horror film for the past 8 years. One day, Mi-Jung hears about a movie which was banned. Mi-Jung wants to know about the film. She begins to search for the movie. Her search takes her to meet Jae-Hyun Jin Seon-Kyu, who is the director of the film. Jae-Hyun warns Mi-Jung to forget about his film, but she ignores his warning. Mi-Jungâs obsession with the movie leads her to bizarre and horrible cases. REVIEW The South-Korean horror mystery by the director Kim Jin-won also known for The Butcher, 2007, offers some mild thrills, accompanied by an irritatingly inane plot. The story revolves around a film director Mi-Jung Seo Ye-Ji, who after some previous success has been attached to a new project. However, the artistic muse has well and truly left the building and Mi-Jung is left banging her head against the wall trying to come up with a new idea. When she hears of a local urban legend of a film so terrifying that it made the premier night audience run for the hills and that is supposedly directed by a ghost, she naturally must investigate. Not satisfied with only finding a mere trailer of the said film, she also tracks down the filmâs human director and despite his stark warnings, keeps on investigating the mystery further. Soon her life is penetrated by ghostly apparitions and strange happenings of all description, enough to make most normal humans to back the hell off. Not Mi-Jung though. Instead she goes and finds the filming location of the original film and ventures forth to film her own future masterpiece in the same locale, the results of which, as you might have guesses, will be deadly. So, what we have is a film about making a film about a film. How very metaâŠOr it would be, had the story been build a bit better than it is. The first half is perfectly adequate, if little predictable, with Mi-Jung digging up information about the supposedly deadly film. The singlemindedness of her search for inspiration is familiar from numerous found footage films where a dedicated director takes a project to dangerous waters with their unrelenting need to continue, even when everything and everyone around them keeps telling them not to. This is very much also the case with Mi-Jung, who in all honesty takes the ghostly encounters in her stride and just carries on like nothing ever happened. There are a few scenes offering some genuinely well built tension and eerie atmosphere and the ghost haunting this particular story is honestly quite creepy. I certainly would not want something like that creeping around my house. Unfortunately, these moments are few and far between and the great ambience they offer is not really followed up. Instead the film goes into bit of overdrive around mid-way through, never to recover. It is somewhat frustrating that the parts of Warning Do Not Watch that could, and should have been its strong points, end up being its downfall. Once Mi-Jung enters the place where all the paranormal activity started, the lines between reality, film and imagination become dangerously blurred. And I do not mean dangerous for the characters but for the viewers. There two ways you can approach this type of reality distortion one is to take a very subtle approach, where the main characters sanity and grip on reality is questioned through small, but effective little hints dropped amongst the rest of the story. This approach of course demands an otherwise strong, character driven plot and thus not suitable for just any kind of story. The other option is to go the whole hog and fully lean into the more bizarre aspect of the reality blur and potentially create something more on the art house side of horror. My guess is that Warning Do Not Watch was aiming for the latter, but unfortunately missed the target by at least couple hundred meters. While there is a definite effort here to create some kind of mind bending meta mystery, unfortunately due to the lack of commitment to the more off the wall themes, the end result is wishy-washy at best. I cannot say I hated Warning Do Not Watch. I had some enjoyable moments and a very impressive looking ghost. But I also cannot say I loved it, as the rather annoying shortcomings in the story department really let me down. It is perfectly adequate for one watch but will probably leave your memory as quickly as it entered.
