What makes it different from others?
Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Okay, so Horror movies I usually rate higher as there are so many terrible ones out there which lowers the bar. And there are so many great South Korean movies out there and so the bar raises again. I guess the grading curve evens out.I was hoping to like this, really hoping to like this and as it started it piqued my interest a little.Not enough though, the ending could have been a copy off a dozen other movies. Either Korean or Horror.The dream sequences irritated me, used to be jumpy, used to be quaint but at this stage in the game it's just used. Ghost grabbing, crawling, etc, look like doom and then you jump out of bed only to be attacked again, to only wake up again. And for the whole time you're staring at it well aware of their little trick and look, oh my they're doing it again!So a little disappointed that something that looked like it had a small amount of potential turned out to be a big Ol' Yawn.
I wanted to like it and I made sure I would! Why? Because the crime touch was lovely, and gave this movie right here a different breeze, something new, something exciting, even tho it was not too hard to figure out, it still took me for a nice ride. If you want to see it, you shouldn't read too much into it, just let the element of surprise be present. It has some good moments to offer, some thinking to do, great visual parts, therefore it acts like it should do. Don't waste more time seeing if it is a worthy production or not, don't dig too deep or you might ruin it for yourself, take it, watch it and pass it along.29 February, a more different Asian horror than most, so my thanks go out to the brave people involved in the making of it, for the courage to show something more complex than your typical flick!Cheers!
This was pretty easy to figure out from the beginning how it would end. Also many of the jump scenes were predictable. However, the rest of the story was actually pretty good, As others have said, the atmosphere was done very well in this film. Some of the camera shots they chose were rather interesting (in a good way). There is a short scene at the end of the film after the credits which actually had a very spooky feel to it.There are some shots which you could look at as being stolen from (or in tribute to) other j-horror movies.Other than that, not much really to say about this one way or the other.
This series of 4 horrors are truly the best in asia. Simple, logical and terrifying. J-horrors are sometimes too loose, and some directors can go too far away from a good story. Korean movies are usually on the slow hit compared with other Asian films. Yet these 4 movies keep rather good paces. The "dark forrest" is the slower among the 4, and it's quite confusing the first part. Although it's a good trick, it's rather small and has been kept too long. "Hidden floor" is not my favorite either, but the acting of both mother and girl are quite natural and convincing.This one, "Feb the 29th", is fairly scary. Perhaps because I personally know similar places as what's in the movie. It's a good tale, a gripping urban legend, while the alternative/scientific explanations alleviate the intensity of horror. Borrowed some Ju-on gimmicks, so as "hidden floor", but it seems to be universal after the success of Ju-on :)
