Film Review Warning Do Not Play! 2019 by Kim Jin-wonThe subject of the cursed movie or film in horror cinema is a rather played out and frequent trope in modern cinema, with everything from “Cigarette Burns,” “Porno” and “Antrum The Deadliest Film Ever Made” to name a few of the films utilizing the concept. This lack of originality extends to the rest of director Kim Jin-won’s competently-made if overall generic Amjeon, now available on on her thesis project in film school, Mi-jung Seo Ye-ji decides to transfer the focus onto a new horror film when one of her classmates informs her about a cursed movie shot by a legacy student.

Warning A must-watch ghost tale! Check out our review for Kim Jin-won’s South Korean horror for Shudder. By Rachael Harper 11-06-20 77,715 Aspiring director Mi-jung’s life revolves around horror movies. Not only does she direct them, she consistently dreams about them and then enthusiastically writes about said dreams when she’s awake. But when Mi-jung’s obsession leads to her persuing a rumoured horror movie shot by an actual ghost, her fixation on the genre gets far too close for comfort. Struggling to find a story for her next movie, Mi-jung Ye-ji Seo believes this ghost-shot frightener named Warning’ is the key to hitting the big time. However, with flashbacks to an attempted suicide in her past, Mi-jung’s life has a few horrors of its own, and the deeper she goes into this ghostly tale, the more her own life blurs into that of the movie. Make no mistake, Warning Do Not Play may sound a little The Ring-esque with its haunted film’ skew but this is just one of the many ways this movie squarely lines up your expectations and then quickly pivots away from any assumptions. What starts off as a seemingly simple ghost story leads the viewers down paths of abuse, mental health, aspirations, escapism, death and good old-fashioned humans being absolute bastards. The story divulges into various directions at one point we’re even asking ourselves if Mi-jung IS the ghost but writer and director Kim Jin-won juggles all of them with seeming ease, steering the story in a very linear if complex direction. This is aided massively in Ye-ji Seo’s performance, which anchors the whole movie in a central focus on the character of Mi-jung. We find out pretty early on that Mi-jung is an unreliable protagonist but that doesn’t stop us wholeheartedly following her on what is clearly a treacherous journey. Kim Jin-won also heaps on the terror without resorting to jump scares or gory set-pieces. Sure there’s plenty of blood to go around, but the really unsettling moments are shrouded in the sly use of shadows and in the viewers’ imaginations of what we DON’T see even when Mi-jung photographs the horrors around her with her phone we’re not overly privy to what she captures. The final third of the film does drag slightly, with a showdown that loses momentum after a while. However, Kim Jin-won sticks the landing by shining a dark spotlight on humanity having the capacity to be a hell of a lot more evil than an enraged specter ever could be. Warning Do Not Play is available on Shudder now.

June 9, 2020 In WARNING DO NOT PLAY, Mi-Jung Ye-ji Seo is a horror filmmaker in search of her next story. With only two weeks to deliver a script before her development deal falls through, the young writer begins to investigate the urban legend of a student film so frightening it caused chaos – and even a heart attack – at its premiere. But the salacious story doesn’t stop there. Rumor has it the picture was actually created by a ghost that killed the production’s crew before making the movie herself. Unfortunately, while there is plenty of lore surrounding the feature, there aren’t many facts. The filmmakers, and even the movie’s name, seem to be lost. The only clue Mi-Jung has is the name of the school the doomed film team attended. Things become increasingly spooky as Mi-Jung dives deeper into the mystery. Turns out the film was selected for a festival, but the screening was canceled. When she finally tracks down the director, the terrified Jae-Hyun Seon-Kyu Jin demands she forget the film and start “going to church.” Even the movie itself – when she finally gets ahold of it – appears to be a “making of” documentary rather than the fabled horror film. As the lines between real life and the film she’s hunting began to blur, Mi-Jung finds herself faced with increasing threats both tactile and supernatural. WARNING DO NOT PLAY is a terrific story that deftly expands on modern ghost tales and found footage film tropes to create something fresh. Writer/director Kim Jin-wons love of the genre is on full display as the story zooms around every twist and turn. The central mystery is compelling and keeps you leaning forward as Mi-Jung’s efforts uncover increasingly horrifying details of just what happened to the makers of this enigmatic movies. There’s really not a dull moment in the eight-six minute runtime. Along with cinematographer Young-soo Yoon, Kim creates some breathtaking images that will stick with you. One of the standout sequences comes when the supernatural elements first take hold. Kim and Yoon raise the visual stakes by balancing the stark white light of a camera phone with saturated reds and blues that would make Dario Argento proud. Indeed, red and blue are a subtle theme throughout this movie, with red acting as a surrogate for the menacing force unknowingly seeping into the protagonist’s life. But it’s not just the colors that are captivating. The best images in a ghost story are ones that recreate that gut-dropping moment when a shadowy outline tricks the brain into seeing a human form that isn’t there. It’s an important shot to nail, and Kim captures it perfectly. Ye-ji Seo carries the film effortlessly as the plucky horror-loving Mi-Jung; while Seon-Kyu Jin’s performance as the film-within-a-film’s director will leave you just as shaken as any spectral threat. So should you put WARNING DO NOT PLAY on your must-watch list? I think so. Just be forewarned. As Mi-Jung so perfectly says, “It’s a horror film, so definitely not a happy ending.” WARNING DO NO PLAY will premiere on Shudder Thursday, June 11, 2020.

^{Warning Do Not Play is a South-Korean horror that can proudly stand among the great Asian movies from this decade with a focus on filmmaking, One Cut Of The Dead and The Kirishima Thing among them. It is essentially a ghost story spanning decades which doubles as a cursed-object movie featuring frequently disturbing imagery – mostly of characters in a catatonic state inflicting self-harm – and while the scares can be bare-bones at times, the movie works best as a metaphor for the worst impulses of filmmakers today how they sometimes end up casually exploiting the suffering of others and misappropriate their stories in order to further their own image or to simply get ahead. On the brighter side, it also demonstrates how cinema can be a beacon of hope, making films an act of salvation, and how just pointing a camera at someone and shooting can be the best possible decision. When we first meet Mi-Jung, she’s having a nightmare of herself being alone in a movie theater, and she slowly wakes up and sees a blinking eye on her phone’s cracked screen. As if to foreshadow the movie’s themes, and its structure, this image is a great sum-up of the whole story that is to come it turns out that Mi-Jung is still dreaming, and when she wakes up for real, we get acquainted to her real plight she’s a horror filmmaker under heavy stress because of a looming deadline; if she can’t come up with a scary concept for her newest project in two weeks, she and the whole team will lose the gig. When she hears about an urban legend concerning a film supposedly directed by a ghost that caused walkouts and heart-attacks, she travels to Daejeon to find it. Mi-Jung is immediately likeable, but she can be immensely manipulative as well. She will have her way no matter what. After she doesn’t get anywhere with the film university staff, she meets three male film-school students in a bar, chatting about Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve the movie uses intertextuality to great effect, and its approach feels universal – it’s a story that can be placed into another geographical area without it losing much of its meaning one of the funniest lines is Your work suffers because you just can’t accept Nolan!’, but the sleek cinematography that can feel like a tour-guide to a haunted house, and the stunningly rich color palette are there for diehard Asian cinema fans to enjoy. She promises to grant them any wish if they can come up with a scary story from the Daejeon region. ANY wish?’, one of them replies, and they start arguing among themselves until all three end up sharing the same story, one related to the same haunted’ film from before. The protagonist is no stranger to stealing either. After getting her hands on a clip from the movie, she manages to track down the director and plans to get the full version somehow. What happens in the second act, after the more investigating an urban legend’ feel of the first one, can seem like standard Asian horror there are definitely some 10 to 15 minutes that feel too minimal, too focused on jump-scares rather than on the actual characters, as the true nature of the film comes into play and Mi-Jung has to fight for her life. What she actually does is just walk around slowly with bated breath while the film is teasing the viewer with the obvious scare waiting just around the corner, and while that can be a plus for atmosphere, it also clashes with what came before and might lose some viewers. But worry not just stick with it. It not only recovers from almost having devolved into a standard, low to mid-tied Asian horror, but it also ends up being an excellent example of a frame story, while perfectly using the show, don’t tell’ principle it includes found-footage elements to tell the tale of the cursed film, and makes the characters behind the original movie feel like actual people, by using clever parallels between them and Mi-Jung and benefiting from some truly creative camerawork. It never ever tells you that it’s about filmmakers exploiting real people and their suffering for personal gain, becoming more distanced from reality and their own humanity – it just lets you witness that first-hand with almost every scene, and carries multiple meanings. The best thing about the movie, besides its visuals and storytelling, is the character development. The original film director is a former shell of himself because of past events, and Mi-Jung’s transformation in the film’s climax occurs within a split-second – a result of her survival instincts, but also the fact that she might be different from the get that footage no matter what’ school of thought. Whether she truly changes or is just more clever and devious than the other characters and finds a way to justify her behavior, of if she chooses to just ignore the past, that’s up for interpretation. As such, the movie illustrates how the current generation of directors can borrow from what came before them, ranging from gentle homage to blatant plagiarism, but can also subvert and refocus. Like the character development and what it actually signifies in the larger picture, the film’s twist ending can be interpreted in a lot of ways it serves as a cautionary tale for the viewer, but also perfectly illustrates what exactly Mi-Jung has lost in her journey of recovering the movie Missing and forcing her way into the director’s seat. As such, it is a pitch-perfect ending to a film that manages – in just 86 minutes – to mix urban legends with curses and angry ghosts, while rarely letting go of its characters, their inner world’ and their journey. The film’s structure and approach to scares can be similar to that of Ringu or Ju-On, but the whole package feels closer to underappreciated, but ambitious J-horror oddities from before 2010 like Orochi and the new wave of Western horror movies, because of its metaphorical aspects. Seo Ye-Ji delivers a breakthrough performance here, and the fact that it almost works as a straight-up scary movie – if you choose to ignore the subtext – is a result of director Kim Jin-Won’s ambitious grasp.  Warning Do Not Play can be seen on Shudder, or acquired from major VOD platforms, and comes highly recommended.
