    They tried

    This movie tried something new by combining a disaster thriller with comedy and well al I can say is that they tried. The movie feels slow and dragging in some parts while some scenes just feel cartoony and unrealistic. The characters are likeable and funny but the movie was just lackluster.

    its a new kinda...

    Disaster scenario we are looking at in this south korean action thriller dramedy, as the title says its about a sudden sink in the ground that swallows a 5 story building and much more, made on south korean premisses and wit, with all the cultural nodding, screaming and slapping thats so usual in their films.

    Its not unusual building bad buildings on a rotten underground in south korea, also a history with motheating corruption and greed due to sky high prices for a living lot combined with a long geographical history of sinkholes, make this topic of events interesting.

    Its the first sinkhole disaster movie ive noted, and the plots and drive of action mustve been inspired by the norwegian consepts of ''the wave' and ''quake'', there are so much that happens in a short time, that even the grumpy old man did his best to push and pull (on the sofa) to help the survivors. And there are also mediocre parts of compulsary korean rites that has to be there just to be accaimed as worth watching which may be daft and unusual to see outside east asia, and there are some inconsistencies that bends every physical laws of reality, and things you might shouldnt do I. C. E..

    but its fun and scary, loads of mud and dirt , an amazing set of special effects that mustve been overwhelming in the cinema theater, so if you are in for the adrenaline have a look.

    The cast is fairly well known faces from the korean tv-world, the acts is not outstanding in any way, but as a team it works. So whether or not, a sinkhole makes challenges for everyone, and remember your gps and cellphone doesnt work at 400 meters bsl, so you better be prepared and start climbing the rugged wall before YOU fall in...

    A man and his family move into the home they've waited years for only to find that there may be some issues with the building foundation. Soon they are in a sinkhole nightmare.

    I was expecting a bit more thrill than I got from this but what it lacked it thrill was compensated with humor. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable watch.

    A great combination of disaster and comedy

    Disaster movies trends to be tensed but in this movie, it isn't. You can feel the comedic vibe in intense moment. It felt weird but at the same time refreshing. Last part was just out of my imagination. Who ever thought of surviving in this way. Though it kind of dumbed but still kind of unique way. Overall it's good.

    Really Good

    Entertaining with laughs thrown in also.

    Not a standard comedy nor is it a standard disaster movie. Done in the style that only the Koreans can do.

    • Trivia
      The rolling end credits has the English word CAST followed by a long list in Korean; then the English word STAFF followed by more Korean; then DIGITAL IMAGE TECHNICIAN followed by job titles in English next to technicians' names in Korean. Later there is DIGITAL IDEA in English following by job titles in English next to technicians' names in Korean followed by several more headings in English with job titles in English and technicians' names in Korean before reverting to all Korean. At the very end a number of corporate logos are in English. The very last line is the copyright information in English.
