All in all, Deleter had some great moments but it was not enough to offset the frustration of a subpar story that relied on hype and not substance. The one good thing that came out of it though is that it seems that Nadine has finally found her niche. Horror suits her well, in particular, psychological thrillers. Her acting plum for her performance was well deserved, I should say.

I think that Re/member was trying to go for the same formula as South Korea’s All of Us Are Dead. It could have worked if it was released as a series, with more time to delve into the backstory of the Red Person, and the rest of the group, perhaps even the first batch of Body Searchers. However, the length of a feature film is not enough to do everything the movie sought to do and by its end, it seemed like an overly ambitious fragmented ball of mush.

All in all, The Whole Truth was a borefest that took pride in ripping off classic horror classics and made no apologies for being a copycat. It wasn’t even flattering to the original material. In all fairness, filmmakers tried to do their best. Unfortunately, the film already sank before it could start floating because everything about it was so subpar it was ridiculous.

As usual, I was blown away by everything, from the production, to the story (Kim Eun Hee), to the masterful direction (Kim Seong Hoon) — and to think this was shot during a pandemic. Amazing.

I think that is what is lacking these days — a rootable main character that viewers can really get behind. In this sense, the film was a success and put itself alongside some of the more memorable horror features released during the pande
