TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 21 Death Name starts as a tense and intriguing thriller that immediately grabs your attention. The atmosphere is strong, the pacing is confident, and for most of its runtime the film keeps you invested with layered storytelling and a sense of mystery that feels well controlled. The screenplay does a solid job building momentum, and the direction keeps everything engaging enough to stay locked in. The acting is mostly effective, with the main cast delivering believable performances. Unfortunately, the villain is the weakest element. While visually striking, the performance lacks menace and never truly feels threatening, which undercuts the tension the film works hard to create. Where the movie truly stumbles is in its final act. The last 20 minutes feel rushed and confusing, unraveling much of the buildup. The ending lacks clarity and payoff, and the method used to defeat the villain feels cheap and poorly thought out. Ultimately, Death Name is a strong setup See more Kozue M @Kozurin Jan 20 Watched Death Name from Japan 🇯🇵 No spoilers—super tense and the ending left me wanting more. The Asian vibe felt so relatable, which made it even creepier in the best way. Kevin was magnetic 👀🖤 Highly recommend if you like atmospheric horror! See more Ricardo B @SigmaPiEpsilon Jan 17 Slow burn and suspenseful thriller that keeps you thinking from the start. Old school scary movie vibes! See more Melissa L @Agent99 Jan 15 Quick-moving film that is a little unique. See more Ai S @Ai-Ling Jan 13 I loved this movie! Truthfully, I don't like horror and I don't like K-Dramas. Yet while this film is both, it was crafted so skillfully it felt entirely fresh. The director's talent for blending K-Drama essence with an American college tale was executed perfectly. The storytelling was efficient and the plot moved with great pace. Kevin Woo delivers a wonderful performance, embodying a classic K-Drama heartthrob with his soft eyes and gentle tone, yet he is so convincing that you ultimately end up hating him. I would absolutely recommend this movie to anyone. See more Dennis P @djpark1957 Jan 13 I loved the contrast between Korean American and traditional, real Koreans. Haha, but this is not a funny movie. I was emotional connected to this movie from the opening scene to the end. I live with a grandmother with dementia, I had a Jokbo that was lost in the Eaton Fire. Sophie's search for her heritage is powerful and meaningful to a 4th generation Korean like me. The production value is very high. The photography, music, editing and cast created a movie that I watched twice and enjoyed both times. I highly recommend this movie. See more Read all reviews
