While it's refreshing to see a war film veer into the supernatural so quietly, R-Point lacks the much-needed dramatic tension to get us through its slow-moving 110 minutes.

A mediocre genre film that fails in both genres.

If you’ve been worn down a bit by all of the J-horror movies having to do with spooky ladies in blue makeup, this will serve as a refreshing change of pace.

By the time the grand finale rolls around, you're more baffled than terrified.
