 Thanks for checking out this movie review video. So this is for the 2019 shudder original Zero megahertz or zero point zero megahertz because they had these zero point zero in the title I don't know why they could have just done zero well I mean, I do know why because it's technically how it appears and what they're referring to in the film But anyway, I'll just call it zero megahertz. That's how we're gonna do it now So like I said, this is a shudder original now shudder originals for me have been a little bit rough recently I watched the marshes some time back and that was terrible Jessica forever was not very good either But I did see the show the Deadlands which was a shudder original and that one is worth watching and good This actually is another worth watching and pretty good. It's not perfect I do have problems with it and I'll go over that but overall I would say watch zero megahertz It is a good enough film to check out in my opinion and for being a shudder original These are very low-budget films and you can kind of tell it They achieved a lot with a with what I assume is a pretty low budget. So that's good It's based on a comic by Jack Jang not familiar with the comic or anything or Jack Jang It was written and directed by Sundong you who did another film called Missouden Haven't seen that one don't know anything about it. This is a South Korean film So it is subtitled so if people, you know, if you have a problem with subtitles You're gonna want to avoid this one but I would say just watch stuff with subtitles and let's you have an issue with reading subtitles because you know you Get migraines. I know that happens with my mother actually or you know You have a visual impairment or anything like that that keeps you from doing it Other than that if you have no legitimate reason You just don't like doing subtitle films get over it Just gotta say because there are a lot of good stories out there. So anyway Real quick not doing spoilers for this one because it is new it is just hitting shutter when I'm putting this review up It hasn't hit yet. I believe it hits on the Thursday I gotta go check my email. Sorry about that people Real quick It goes up April 23rd on shutter So it will be available then and April 23rd is the Thursday. Yeah, their new stuff usually comes out on Thursday So April 23rd on shutter. It's available. All right So one of the bad things is very early on there's like a setup scene to give you kind of backstory for for the movie Which that scene is interesting enough and it's pretty intense and crazy and you know It hits the ground running I shall say but there is some incredibly shaky camera work at that point I understand why it's shaky But it's too shaky in my opinion. It's too much It's hard to focus on things get you a little bit queasy if you're like me motion a lot of motion with camera can kind of do It for me. That's why I hate the movie clover field because Too much so they could really back that down It does become a little bit of a problem again later on But mainly just that beginning portion and then a few other small times But for the most part the camera work is relatively Good stability wise. So just a few issues here and there it immediately Establish it establishes itself as a j-horror type film So if you are a j-horror film type fan, which I'm actually not but I enjoyed this I would think that people who are into j-horror would particularly like this and want to check this out for that reason Like I said, I'm not big into j-horror, but I did like it So I would assume then that people people who are into that Genre or sub-genre. I mean that you would definitely want to check this one out It's interesting enough the audio there was an issue with the audio like the beginning portion that kind of setup I was talking about it has you know a certain audio level and then they go to Another portion of the show or the movie where they kind of like back down the intensity and the audio goes way down So I had to like really adjust it now once I adjust it there I didn't need to adjust it again But it was just this really weird thing we're like the audio levels here and then all of a sudden the audio levels here And I'm like it's a weird jump minor thing, but you know After the heavier intro it actually takes on kind of a fun Fun vibe and it has like comedic moments that pop up, which is kind of nice It kind of like steps back and it's you know a little light a little fun a little funny and I Enjoyed that like I like that now that ends up going away. It's one of those typical kind of Set-ups for for a horror film where it's like things are crazy Here's a little bit of a look into how crazy things are now We're gonna show you these people Introduce them to you to let you understand who they are Show them in their fun-loving life and then we'll get into some bad stuff And then all that fun-loving stuff and the joking around in comedy goes away So I really enjoyed it during the lighter portion because it felt natural And it was a cool introduction for the characters themselves. So that was nice You can tell the limited budget kept them from going all in on the practical effects But they make up for what's kind of lacking with nice camera work and interesting camera angles and intentionally kind of Concealing camera angles at times and also Lower lighting that's another thing they use lower lighting to kind of cover up Not only some of the practical effects that they can't do as well But the cg as well So and that's the thing like for the most part the cg that is used in this actually looks pretty good because it's in lower lighting There's one thing in particular though that does not look good with cg There's like some fire at some point and the fire looks Not good All the other cg though pretty good and this is one of the problems with using cg but I know There's not really much Getting around that I will say overall the camera work is pretty good in this film The directing is quite good. The camera work is quite good good cinematography a lot of interesting camera angles It looks pretty stylish for the most part This director and their cinematographer Should keep doing films. It does look quite good I was pretty impressed for shutter original how Inspired the directing was that sounded really derogatory But you know when I think about like jessica forever and the marshes and stuff like that I'm just thinking about those and then placing this next to it being like this is way better So that's why I say that They actually explain the title for this movie relatively early on in the film Which I think is a very good thing because going into this film you're like Why like it's such a weird title like what so the fact that they explain that Relatively up front is a good thing. I quite quite like that Solid acting in this there. There is good acting in this Better than you would assume for a lower budget film. So I was very happy with that Like I said directing cinematography good. The music was really nice in this. I thought It was very appropriately matched for all the scenes you know nice and easy and Appealing to the ear when it was a more easy scene and then very intense and tension Driving when it was a more tense situation. So you do a good job at that They have the harbinger in this which is a kind of formulaic thing for certain types of films If people don't know what I'm talking about They kind of talk about that concept in the movie the cabin in the woods the harbinger like the person who Kids run into or you know young adults run into teenagers and they're like, oh no, don't go to this place That's terrible. They're terrible things happen there. You're gonna die type thing So I just thought it was kind of funny that they use the whole harbinger trope But I liked it There was a jump scare that actually made me perk up I mean it didn't like scare me But you know when it's kind of like the in-between of like You weren't quite caught off guard, but it did kind of surprise you a little bit It didn't quite scare you but like got your attention more So there's a there's a nice jump scare on this and um, yeah, they do a few jump scares The way they edited this film actually keeps it moving really really well at a good pace Up until about the 45 minute mark and then I think after that it really slows down considerably I think they should have cut a bunch out between probably about the 45 minute mark to maybe the hour and 30 minute mark they should have cut maybe about To be honest like 10 to 15 minutes out of that at least um Yeah, 10 to 15, you know 15 on the on the upper end 10 on the lower end Yeah, definitely 10 to 15 minutes They should have cut out of that portion because it's moving at such a good pace and it's really really moving well and You're very engaged until that 45 minute mark and then it it just starts to really slow down And you're just like oh, it's becoming a little bit of a slog and it picks up at the end thankfully so I just need to edit down a bit more Already talked about the cg thing. There's a scene ripped from an old classic horror film That is done with cg and this was not done with cg in the classic horror film And it actually looked pretty good in cg in this. I was I was pretty impressed. It looked good It was effective and when you see it you will know what i'm referring to it's towards the end The main evil in this film when it is shown it's not shown Like when it I mean when it's shown like straight on like fully because you get like bits and pieces You know earlier on But when you see it like head on you get a really good look at it It looks good and that's a big thing that a lot of horror films don't deliver on is You know when you finally see it it's very disappointing Like the movie signs by m night Shyamalan like all throughout the film You know you get these little bits and pieces of the aliens and they look It looks really good and creepy and everything but then when you see the whole thing you're like Really that's that's okay. That's it This film does not do that. It doesn't fall into that. They give you a good looking evil So awesome and it had a solid ending. I was happy with the ending. It was cool There's you know a bit of a twist to the ending which I enjoyed I could I could see myself watching more by this filmmaker. So good job Uh and then the last thing I have to say is the whole film actually feels very familiar But it's done in a good way and it uses a lot of kind of long running trappings that are from horror films It's not just taking from one horror film in particular though It actually does feel like it's two sub genres kind of mesh together It feels like it's the j horror typical film mixed with a bunch of the Slasher typical film and you kind of see what I mean if you keep that in mind when you're watching it It works pretty well now the slasher aspect kind of goes away at some point But very early on you can see what I'm talking about. It's this meshing of It's like the evil thing and everything happening with the the evil thing is very j horror But all the people involved in everything else is very slasher And they're just kind of coming together But then it just the j horror ends up taking over almost fully at some point So but I thought it was interesting It was it was an interesting meshing of those two sub genres and I appreciated it So this film is not perfect. You know, obviously I had some gripes with it But overall I liked it for a shutter original is a good shutter original I would recommend seeing it out of five stars with half stars in play I'm going to go with a three a solid three star rating Check it out.
