Troll Factory

There's always something grappling and intriguing about Korean cinema, especially from the seasoned actors and actresses. It's a great escape from the Hollywood preaching, politics, hedonism and the message. As such I'm well invested in the Korean filmscape and find myself a critic when necessary within my mind. Troll Factory is a very well laid out film, with great pacing, acting and a powerful story, however it feels like it feeds you so much ingredients, with a chef by your side and then says - now you cook. Huh!!

The story is said to be based on true events as such I totally understand the narrative ending the way it did, since it's most likely still unfolding in real life and probably would never end (the corruption of the world can't end till Jesus comes I think), but I was almost wishing they added fiction just to make it more - erm, cinema.

That said I like it. The subject matter is sensitive (I don't know if I really care), the acting and directing is great, feels like a passion project with intent on passing a conscious narrative to it's society, but it just kinda ended.
