![]() ![]() When the police arrive, headed by grizzled veteran Woo Joon-sik (Kim Sang-Kyung), the body of wealthy business magnate Yoon Seol-hee (Kim Hee-Ae) has disappeared. ![]() So, stop me if you’ve heard this one but, a mortuary security guard (Hyun Bong-Sik) at the National Institute of Scientific Investigation is spooked by the odd goings on one rainy night, climaxing with being knocked out after seeing one of the corpses apparently come alive. The film in question being remade is the 2012 Spanish chiller The Body, and while the main story is the same, obviously the relocation to South Korea does bring with it some inevitable changes. It also makes it harder to note any comparisons or differences between the two, so please excuse the dearth of such analysis in this review. If there is a benefit to getting older and becoming more forgetful it is that one can watch a film then, when the remake comes along few years later you’ve forgotten everything about it so the newer version is completely fresh to you. The Vanished (Sarajin Bam) Korea (2018) Dir. ![]()
