An intertwined tale of fractured reflections. Aengkeo misleads, distracts and twist cleverly through out it's entirety. When considered it's theme, countless moving pieces are obvious to be seen but at the same time it seemed like the story deviated from it's planned course. Quite sure the conclusion could have been far better if the nemesis turned out to be a doctor who cuts through a yellow tape and meddled with a crime scene. Apart from the above Aengkeo was armed with exquisite visual effects and fittingly fresh sound effects. Great performances by the cast and fine dialogues. Aengkeo is a good thriller that can be appreciated alot with a bit of patience.

Or is it old news? No pun(s) intended of course. And a movie that may keep you guessing - or you may be able to see through it quicker than others. That being said, it really is well told and amazingly acted. For a horror/thriller movie that is. But also generally speaking - hopefully you will be able to enjoy this for what it is. And go on the journey getting the most of it. South Korean cinema is really something to look out for. Not just for thrillers - but those too. I thought that anchor would mean this would have something to do with ships - but I was quite wrong. It also shows that I really do not read what the movies I am about to watch are about. Shock moments work and the guessing game was something I did almost until the end. I reckon the conclusion made a lot of sense.

Sauce

Just before a news anchor (Se-Ra) begins her late news broadcast, she gets a phone call from a female fan named Mi-So. Mi-So explains she will soon be murdered and she'd like Se-Ra to cover the story of her death. Unable to stop thinking about the request, Se-Ra begins to investigate and becomes lost in a news story and begins experiencing things she can't understand. This wasn't bad but it wasn't top tier. I thought the actors were okay but it was a bit long. As the film progressed it became more predictable and lost some of its suspense. For me this was a "pass the time" film more than a thrilling watch. Not awful but not great.
