Arriving too late, Kang chases the killer only to be hit by a speeding car. Barely surviving surgery, he now finds himself a prime suspect. He cannot shake the feeling that there are strange gaps in his memory regarding that night and the killer's identity. While police set out to confirm his story, he begins his own quest to remember the truth about the murder and himself. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Beautifully written, shot, and acted ... and bewildering.I had to watch this film once, visit the IMDb and read all I could from other folks attempting to explain it, then watch it again before arriving at a score of nine. The first viewing left me bewildered. The Spider Forest is a place where the souls of those who die alone or unloved live in limbo, as spiders, until someone remembers them. That's a cool premise. The Spider Forest is also the cobwebbed memories each of us navigate as we attempt to deal with trauma, guilt, shame, etc. Maybe. Read More Rating: - An Entralling Suspense Thriller that blends Beauty, the Supernatural and Noir....SPIDER FOREST (a.k.a. Geomi Sup, 2004) is a South Korean film that relatively took in a fair box-office take. Fortunately, from what I've gathered, the film did take in a surmountable amount in dvd sales.

It also stars one of my favorite South Korean actresses; Jung Suh (Sometimes known as Seo Jeong), renowned for her role in Kim Ki-Duk's "The Isle", "Yellow Flower" and "Green Chair". This film ...

Boy, K-films need two showings!( for any one who does not understand Korean) One to get the gist of the plot from the subtitles, the next to really watch the actors! All the differance in the world. Did anyone notice the puppets? The presence of horror and the warmth of love, grief and remorse are perfect in this little piece. Rating: - Great film!One of the best films ever! I kid you not. The first time I saw it, I was confused but intrigued. I watched it a second time and was blown away. It's one of those rare films that I will watch over and over again. I cannot say more without giving away the game. However, if you can handle ambiguity, you will love this film! As the director has revealed, he started out with two stories involving the protagonist; he had originally written a script that completely explained the mystery, then ... Read More Rating: - Spider Forest is a worthy extension of cinematic ghost lore.This movie demands the viewer's close attention -- a meditation on memory and loss in which the semantics of film narrative are fractured and slowly re-arranged and rebuild over its considerable running time. The intention here is not to deliberately confuse the audience, but to replicate the multi layered nature of an extreme experience. In the film's worldview, reality is not a simple thing to understand. Though unquestionably a horror film -- and a ghost story -- it is not typical in ...
