Frankly, when I saw the title, I thought this was going to be about something else entirely. I think I heard one allusion to a "pot" at some point, but that's about it.

In any case, the concept of Kim Tae-gon's film (which I saw yesterday) was quite strong: put simply, The Pot follows the uncanny happenings surrounding a small upper middle-class family in their new apartment. Mostly, the film suffers from poor directing and editing, and after half an hour, it just starts losing focus and scattering itself between too many things/themes at the same time: social criticism of the neo-bourgeois family, indictment of religion, etc. the whole of it packaged as a horror story.

The cast was good, particularly the actresss (Yang Eung-yong). Unfortunately, that simply wasn't enough.
