The Red Shoes (2005), not to be confused with the 1948 drama romance movie is a brutal South-Korean horror flick about a pair of high heels who's owner is followed by jealousy, greed and death. Unlike the title should suggests these red shoes are in fact pink high heels but that could be seen as a metaphor for all the blood it is responsible for. You see our protagonist spiraling down into madness while people around her try to claim these shoes are getting punished with a brutal death.

It's your typical run of the mill haunted item horror movie with nothing too spectacular or special to differentiate the movie from others. Even though its stylish and definitely has some brutal scenes with great makeup effects the movie overall ended up to be very average. We have seen similar movies before and this movie definitely will find its audience somewhere but overall I don't think it's a movie to be remembered. Still a decent watch for you if you enjoy creepy Asian supernatural horror movies. [5,2/10]
