Good Asian horror flick
I saw this years ago and I know that it was a very good horror flick. I got a great deal for it on Amazon to add to my Asian horror collection. I say that it’s worth watching for sure.

Good Korean Horror/Thriller film.
I personally adore this movie. S. Korea doesn't let down with their horror films. They always keep the viewer at the edge of their seats. This films does an excellent job of doing that. What starts as a school reunion among classmates and their old school teacher turns into something else plus a plot twist! If you enjoy Korean movie plot twists, I'd highly recommend this movie.

small twist
bloodier than most korean horror thati have seen.has less of a depth of plot as well.and some parts are disjointed in certain ways.yet the bit of misdirection was pretty interesting.I figured it out about halfway through...still its a nice film to watch on a humdrum day.

Much more than an average slasher...
Bloody Reunion is a great horror film from South Korea. It's a lot better than many modern slashers, although it shares many similarities. The story is about a class reunion where most of the students blame their teacher for their miserable lives. Soon, the students begin experiencing terrible deaths. The story is great and emotional, mainly because of the great acting. It may sound generic, but wait until you get to the shocking ending. The movie is very bloody, and has some unique and brutal death scenes. *minor spoiler* There is a scene where the killer cuts a box cutter into smaller pieces and drops them into a victim's mouth- followed by boiling water! I also liked the creepy imagery spread throughout the film. It kept my attention all the way through. The storytelling was a little confusing at times, though.Overall, Bloody Reunion is a great horror film. It has breaks away from the generic slasher genre, and still manages to scare and shock- and, more importantly, manages to entertain. I highly recommend Bloody Reunion, as of 8/19/12, this film is available on Netflix Streaming.This film has strong violence and gore, no sex or nudity.

I guess you'll either love or hate it
I ended up watching this last night and I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed. Not because of the twist at the end as much as there just wasn't a huge amount of movement in this film. I was prompted to buy this at my local video store after seeing the positive reviews on Amazon and while I can see where this film would appeal to some viewers, none of my group really overly cared for this flick.One of the things that's good about the film is that like others have said, Bloody Reunion doesn't try to hide what it is. This is essentially a semi-gory slasher film created on a budget. Once the murders start happening, the film isn't overly bad. They're decently gory, although if you're looking for something more extreme then you'll probably be slightly disappointed. Despite shots on the back of the DVD box of bloody eyeballs and mouths held open by contraptions, the scenes here are fairly short and to the point when it comes to that sort of thing. Gore hounds will be mildly interested but know that they've seen better. The acting is probably one of the better things about the film. The cast does their best to hold Bloody Reunion above water, but they're hampered by a script that seems to bland itself out at times more than entrap and entice.I guess what kind of killed this film for me was that it felt far longer than it's 96 minute length. My friends and I had a good time poking fun at the film while viewing it, but I can't say that any of us were particularly entertained by the movie itself. Every once in a while you'd have a good scene come up, but ultimately this film was a little boring. I like that the filmmaker tried to avoid it being nothing but jump scares and cliches, but this just needed a little something more. By the time it starts getting interesting towards the end, you're fairly numbed up by the slowness of the preceding events.This seems to be a film that's rather decisive: you're either going to adore it or you're going to hate it. My recommendation would be to rent it via Netflix or another avenue rather than purchasing it.
