<\/a><\/p>\nWhat’s the only thing worse than the Vietnam War? The Vietnam War with ghosts to exorcise the curse of South Korea’s involvement in overseas conflict (they fought with the US in Vietnam, and they’re fighting with the US in Iraq in 2003). R-POINT is a psychological horror movie with the focus firmly on the psychological. On 7 January 1972, the South Korean base in Nha-Trang, Vietnam, receives a radio transmission from a missing platoon that has been presumed dead. The high-command assigns the veteran and decorated Lieutenant Choi Tae-in to lead a squad of eight other soldiers to extract the missing soldiers from the Romeo point or R-Point. When they arrive at the location, they engage and defeat a Vietnamese woman with a machine gun. They later find a tombstone saying that one hundred years previously, local Vietnamese were killed by the Chinese who disposed of them in a lake. A temple built over the site has become a sacred location to the Vietnamese. They find an immense, but empty mansion, where they set up their base. They have a week to find the missing soldiers, but time is passing slowly when one of them dies in a horrific way, and instead of finding answers, they encounter further mysteries in the jungle.<\/p>\n
