I'm still relatively new to Korean horror. I started a few years ago with "Kingdom" on Netflix and I really enjoyed that. Inspired by that experience I jumped on that infamous "Train to Busan" and, more recently, "All of Us Are Dead". Somewhere along the way I also managed to catch "The Host" and "The Uncanny Counter" (although not strictly horror, there are definitely supernatural elements at play in "Uncanny Counter"). So, what would happen if you were to take those supernatural elements, throw it in with the visceral horror of "Busan/"All of Us"/"Kingdom" add a huge dash of End of Days/Revelations prophecies, bring all of that into the here and now - mix it all up and here you have it: - "Hellbound"!

The story starts out simple enough - an Angel comes to visit and tells you exactly when you're going to die. At the appointed time three demons come and drag you to hell. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Easy enough, right? Not so fast. They start in the middle of the story without warning and, in the first five minutes, you are dragged into the streets of Seoul were you become a part of the action. I can so clearly remember looking around trying to find a way out of the horror, but - nothing.

Now, when I watched it, that was about all I knew of the plot, so I will spare you the pot synopsis because, like "The Uncanny Counter", I sometimes find it better to be not too certain what you've gotten yourself into. So, just get on and enjoy the ride. Well rounded, multidimensional characters abound, tight plotting and decent CGI. I'm very glad I gave this one a chance. The closest I will give to a spoiler is to say that Episode 4 throws in one of the greatest WTF moments in the history of ever, and it isn't the only ginormous reveal in the series. Seriously, if the horror genre is your thing - psychological horror especially - give this one a try. I think you'll have a good (?) time.
