"Don't Click" Korean Theatrical Poster
It’s almost hard to believe it’s been over a decade since Japanese films like Ringu (1998) and Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Kairo AKA Pulse (2001) explored the notion of the supernatural interacting with the living via technology, and did it so well. Even Takashi Miike’s 2003 film One Missed Call was a nice little update on this particular subgenre, though it didn’t seem to have quite the same influence.
Now here we are with the forthcoming Korean effort Don’t Click, about an internet video of a necromantic ritual that starts strangely affecting those who watch it. Watching the trailer, It’s hard not to wonder if the film will end up feeling a bit ‘been there, done that.’
Then again, technology continues to grow leaps and bounds, and the way we interact with other people has only become more impersonal since the early 00’s thanks to the advent of smartphones, tablets, and other gadgets. Perhaps the time is ripe for a new horror film to capitalize on this.
Don’t Click has purportedly been delayed for almost a year since its intended August 2011 release, but it should finally arrive in Korea on May 31, 2012. At the very least, I love the poster – which is probably why I’m posting about the movie in the first place.
Update: My goodness, we’ve got another full-length trailer for this movie. Looks spooky!
