    The war on terror

    Like The Ring, and Audition, this film is permeated throughout with a sense of dread and fear. With a minimum use of gore, and the emphasis on atmosphere, this is like Full Metal Jacket meets The Grudge. Although I can see how some viewers may feel short-changed by the lack of explanation and resolution, I felt it strengthened the experience - s**t happens, just enjoy the ride!

    Yeah....

    This film tries to be a cross between a war movie and recent Eastern horror flicks. Sadly, it doesn't quite manage to fully convince as either, despite a hearty effort.

    It's not that R Point is a bad film, it's just that the 2 genres don't fully gell.

    It is quite good but it's not as good as it somehow promises.
