Warning: Spoilers
Those who liked "Deathwatch" may wish to check out this(even better)Korean ghost tale from director Su-chang Kong about a group of South Korean troops in Vietnam searching for a missing group they heard a distress signal from. Once they get up to a location called R-Point where these old Temple Ruins are located(signifying in a different language that anyone with blood on their hands would be cursed;it's stated that this location goes untouched by either the North or South Vietnamese)weird things start to occur. They meet people, actually talking to them in conversations, only later finding their dead corpses. They set-up a base-camp at an eerie dilapidated castle and try their damnedest to find the soldiers..but even finding their own way out of R-Point seems impossible. Soon various soldiers loose their grip on sanity..we soon learn that ghosts and guns can only lead to a heap of trouble. There's possibly even some possession involved as well.

I thought it was good and creepy. The setting amongst the grass-infested ruins and castle just adds to the eerie atmosphere of the ghosts often appearing from the dark.
