Sector 7 Review

Sector 7 is one of South Korea’s most expensive films, taking its queue from such great classics like Alien and The Abyss.  Our story takes place on an oilrig that doesn’t seem to be drilling much oil.    Without spoiling anything, let’s just say a creature shows up with a surprising twist.  After a few murders the crew starts to suspect one of their own, not realizing until later that the devious acts are that of a large beast with tentacle like arms which come from its body.  It’s a fun film with entertaining characters and some good acting.

The film looks great aside from a few scenes near the end that are obvious green screen effects.  The creature itself is of a great design and very well animated.  There is plenty of suspense to be had here and Korea’s own action queen Ha Ji-won in the leading role has plenty of chances to show us she can be very convincing as the tough girl.

For anyone looking for a good monster flick this is one not to be missed.
