Transmissions from Batallion 53 start making their way through the radio waves six months after they disappeared. Choi (Kam Woo-seong, SPIDER FOREST), who is still recovering from the physical and psychological effects of a battle of which he was the only survivor, is put in command of a unit appointed to find the missing Batallion who seem to be somewhere in R-Point, a long-abandoned military outpost that both sides refuse to enter. They trek through the endless fields until they come across a derelict temple built by the Chinese upon the graves of slaughtered Vietnamese locals. Soon the soldiers are seeing things, but are they all apparitions or are there other things to worry about at R-Point besides their states of mind (which is dangerous enough since the soldiers are all armed). The film has more in common with the pair of British supernatural war horror pics THE BUNKER and DEATHWATCH than any more historical films about the Vietnam war. Like the aforementioned two, the location (actually a French colonial structure since the film was shot in Cambodia) here and the surrounding holy ground exert a SHINING-like influence on the soldiers (the film version of THE SHINING includes a throwaway bit in the dialogue about the hotel being built on an Indian burial ground) and their own past tragedies become conflated with the area's violent past, causing them to turn on one another. Although derivative and trading on the usual post-RINGU/JU-ON Asian horror stylistic elements, R-POINT builds its mood nicely and does manage some chills (including one bit revealed through dialogue rather than restrained visual effects or make-up) and some good scares.
