The Vanished  is a remake of Korean cinema based on the original film The Body (2012) of Spain. If you are a lover of detective work, investigation and story reversal, The Vanished is definitely a movie that you cannot ignore. Come on with this movie WebTech360.

Plot: The  film is a police investigation in the case of a female president with heart failure to die, but strangely the body disappears in the morgue. The police had to summon the victim's husband, Professor Park Jin-han in the middle of the night, to gather information. Through the investigation results, the mysteries behind this case are gradually being clarified and it all starts from the professor's affair with his class student.

Do not think that WebTech360 has revealed the content of the movie because all the things I review above are just a very small piece of the whole story of the movie. After watching and pondering over, WebTech360 found that the details in the movie were quite reasonable and really attracted viewers with each scene and the clue opened gradually by the director.

The film brings some of the lessons that we need to keep in mind in this life. The first is that we cannot forever run away from crimes committed by ourselves. Second, it is impossible to believe that the order comes to me and in the end a handsome young man agrees to marry an old wife but is rich, most of them have hidden intentions afterwards.

Part of the film The Body (2012) of Spain

The director of the original film The Body is also the director of the movie Mysterious Assassin (2017) with a clever storyline and makes the audience surprised at the last minute. The returning corpse of director Lee-Chang-hee also makes viewers feel interesting and curious because they do not know what happens next, but compared to the surprise at the last minute, WebTech360 still sees the mysterious Assassin. more special.

The film incorporates a number of horror details to increase the appeal and creepiness of the story. The film also has some humorous situations but actually laughter is not turned on very naturally. Some of the film's key details are not very reasonable, so they cannot create a strong Addiction for viewers. Thus, WebTech360 scores 7.5 / 10 movie content .

Image:  The filming method is quite unique, interesting and enhances the ghost and drama for the plot. Changing the angle of the camera from a distance to the close-up, removing the background to emphasize the subject or slo-motion as well as mixing past and reality makes viewers even more confused with the mysteries of the movie. The film also increases the brain damage for the audience by unleashing a hidden fire that hides the plot under the guise of horror. WebTech360 dot film picture 8/10 .

Sound: The Vanished uses background music like horror movies to increase the attractiveness and scare viewers (don't worry, it's not scary). The final climax of the film was selected by the composers with a melodious soundtrack with a fast rhythm, really brought a good effect in pushing the audience's emotions. However, the melody is really not too catchy, so the aftertaste left for the listener is not much after the room lights light up. WebTech360 dot 7/10 .

Acting:  The first thing to review about the cast of the movie is that everyone is pretty handsome, pretty, and especially the female actors. The faces in the movie are not too familiar to Vietnamese audiences, except for police officer Jung-sik played by Kim Sang-kyung because he has a face quite similar to Ju Mong - Song II Gook.

The acting ability of Korean actors is quite good, creating a sincere relationship for viewers. Kim Sang-kyung is the best character in the film with spontaneity but extremely sharp in his deduction. He is also the character that brings humor to the tension in the film. The role of Hye-Jin, played by Han-Ji-An, brings excitement to her natural acting.

A main role under WebTech360 that has not performed well in his role is the husband Park Jin-Han played by Kim Kang-Woo. Although he gives viewers the image of an intellectual, fearful person with what he has done, but a bit awkward and not dangerous enough to have. Other supporting roles are relatively round and just stop there, so The Vanished is not really outstanding. WebTech360 gives 7.5 / 10 for the acting part of the film.

Community score:

IMDB: 7.3 / 10 (22 ratings)

Lotte Cinema:  4/5

In short, The Vanished - The Return of the corpse  is an extremely fascinating and thrilling detective film of Korean cinema. The film is not as horror as its outer shell but instead is the dexterity and drama in the story. Although the surprise and the mix of details cannot be compared with the movie with the theme Invisible Assassin (2017), the film is still a reasonable choice for viewers who love detective and like "plot twists". installed in the movie. The movie has very little screenings in theaters, so you take advantage of it.
