R-POINT


R-Point is a 2004 South Korean horror film written and directed by Su-chang Kong and starring Kam Woo-seong, Son Byeong-ho, Oh Tae-kyeong, Park Won-sang, Lee Seon-gyoon, and Moon Yeong-dong.

Set in 1972 when the Vietnam war was coming to an end, the film tells about a South Korean sargeant who is plagued with feelings of guilt after losing all his men and being the sole survivor of a bloody battle. After recovering in a hospital, his commander in chief orders him to lead an investigative scouting unit back in the thick of the jungle as they are on a mission to search for a missing platoon. Sargeant Choi Tae-in and his new unit are sent back to the field to try and gather any clues as to the whereabouts of the missing unit; and whether or not there are any survivors. Appon arrival in the jungle, the soldiers start to move on further into the thick forest, where they find a weird gravestone written in Chinese characters that reads He who sheds others' blood can not return. Later, while looking for the missing soldiers, weird things begin to happen with the rescue team and it seems that there is something strange with the mission, and they also feel that they are not completely alone in the jungle. Then, what at the beginning appeared to be an easy search and rescue mission turns into something far more terrifying than the war itself.
