ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Leofwine_draca R-POINT is one of the recent wake of films that cross the barriers between warfare and horror to deliver a kind of startling, in-your-face type of movie in which unlucky soldiers find themselves dealing with both enemy gunfire and spirits of the dead. DEATHWATCH and THE BUNKER are two of the best-known examples, although as a film, R-POINT ably holds its own with those two and offers a highly atmospheric film with just a few flaws that stop it being perfect. I'll list the flaws first; the script, for instance, is very much mundane and repetitive, consisting of the main characters shouting at each other a lot and calling each other expletives. In fact there isn't a great deal of characterisation in the movie as a whole, with only one or two unique characters among a lot of other interchangeable ones. The main other flaw is that the film is too darn mysterious for its own good; the ghostly horror is never really fully explained, and there'll be a lot of confusion if you don't pay the utmost attention to every scene throughout the film.Now for the good stuff: R-POINT is a film that makes full use of the spooky, isolated locations. The creepy jungles are interspersed with creepy bush scenes, haunted graveyards, and a rotting Chinese temple. Best of all is an old hospital, by the looks of it, which recalls the kind of 'evil derelict building' seen in low budget US horrors like SESSION 9 and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Fill most of these locations with rotted corpses and weird goings-on and you have a truly spooky film that, while never reaching terrifying heights, packs more than a few scares into the running time. Much is made of superstition, glimpses of people who really shouldn't be there, and one or two great shocks, such as the scene with the guy sitting on the steps who gets a literal and unexpected bloodbath. The main menace in the film is a girl in a long white dress with long black hair; yep, the cliché stock character of many an Asian horror flick in the wake of RING.The war elements of the film feel as realistic as other recent entries into the genre and there's a fair amount of bloodshed to add to the gritty appeal. The best scene by far is the finale, a bloody shoot-out on the level of RESERVOIR DOGS, in which the heroic lieutenant separates the wheat from the chaff by ordering his men to identify themselves; those who can't are clearly possessed. It's a sequence which recalls the infamous blood-test interlude in John Carpenter's THE THING, and while not as knuckle-whitening as in that particular film, it still packs an undeniable punch and ends the film on a high. Unsurprisingly, a Hollywood remake is on the horizon

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.

poe426 Unlike most alleged "fright films," R-POINT boasts some very impressive-and very spooky- moments. For me, the spookiest has to be the scene where a pair of soldiers cut off from their platoon see what they believe to be their companions creeping stealthily through a field of high grass and fall into step alongside them... only to come to realize that they are, in fact, all alone in said field... Now that's spooky! I found only two flaws worth mentioning: one, the alleged "acting" of the "American" soldiers. One can overlook the sometimes "broader" performances of the Asian actors in Asian films- but to come across such a just plain bad performance by an English-speaking character in an otherwise acceptable ensemble is jarring. The only other bur under my saddle would be the scene where a soldier sitting on a step is suddenly drenched with blood from above. In the movie itself, no explanation is even attempted. In the extras, however, we learn that this was blood spilling from a helmet dangling above the unsuspecting soldier. Why this wasn't made clear in the movie itself is never made clear (if you see what I'm saying)... Overall, R-POINT is an often genuinely spooky movie. Just don't forget to check out the extras.

droctagon PLOT: A squad of Korean soldiers is deployed on a search & rescue mission after a radio transmission is received from a missing team, killed by unknown forces.REVIEW: R-Point does well in establishing an ominous atmosphere at the beginning of the film. The initial reconnaissance by the team unfolds with foreboding and tension, and the viewer is both eager and frightened to see what they will discover. Unfortunately, this tension quickly morphs into boredom. Little happens for much of the film, and the mood set by the introduction is lost. It doesn't help that the characters are unengaging and for the most part interchangeable. The performances quickly become annoying: everyone seems to be constantly hysterical, with characters grabbing each others' lapels and shaking them, or dropping to their knees and sobbing, every other minute. Most frustrating is that for all the buildup, the tale turns out to be a pretty generic ghost story, and not a very exciting or scary one. R-Point starts with an intriguing premise, but wholly fails to deliver.
