Retribution

I avoided watching this movie for a loooong time. For some reason, I had seen so many Asian horror flicks, I drew back from renting anything revenge-related. I couldn't hold my curiosity for long. After a couple of months sans gore, I went to the video rental store, picked up the DVD case, and went home feeling like I had accomplished something. Alas, my Asian horror movie itch has been satiated and I'm once again begging for more.

Retribution follows a detective's confusing murder investigation. People are drowning in salt water and the authorities can't name a suspect, or a body of water. When the main character starts to doubt his innocence, he realizes something funny is going on. There must be a vengeful entity behind all the gore, but who is it? Or better yet, what is it?

Because I watched this without knowing what to expect, I've decided to give you the same privilege to make the whole experience a whole lot more exciting. I give this film 4 shrieks. It really tickled my horror bone.
