serves as a thoroughgoing allegory of the fears, suicides, inhumanity, rage and murder doomed to repeat themselves in any and every conflict, and to haunt generations to come.

Reviews for R-Point
One of the best of a sub-genre I'm going to christen 'warror': war horror films.
[A] subtle and sneakily unsettling film that builds slowly to its unique idea of what constitutes scary.
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 fresh spin on the Korean horror genre after a summer which saw the usual haunted-schoolgirl template reach burnout.
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.
