Forbidden Siren (Japan, 2006)

Siren (Forbidden Siren)

Japan | 2006 | D: Yukihiko Tsutsumi

Until Pokemon Detective Pikachu came along, this movie was the second-best movie based on a video game (the first obviously being Mortal Kombat!) – it’s now been pushed into third place, but it still deserves your attention.

Based on the second Forbidden Siren game on the PS2, this movie follows the story of a writer and his two children – a teenaged girl and young boy – as they move to an remote island that holds an odd secret: when the air raid siren sounds, do not go outside.

It’s a little known (it’s actually a well-known fact) that Koreans make decent horror and thriller films. It’s also a known fact that America loves to remake them.

There are two reasons to watch this movie – 1) to compare it to the inevitable American remake (there is a Canadian film set for release in 2020, but other than the title there is no link) and 2) Bo-Yeong Park. She is absolutely gorgeous – but if you’re after a good film of her, you’re better off with “A Werewolf Boy (2012)”.

Sometimes a movie just has to have a good title to make you want to watch it – this is definitely one of those films. Look at it - it's awesome!
