R-Point (South Korea, 2004)

In 1972, the South Korean base in Nah-Trang, Vietnam, receives a radio transmission from a missing platoon presumed dead. The high-command assigns the veteran and decorated Lieutenant Choi Tae-in to lead a squad with eight other soldiers and rescue the missing soldiers from the R-Point. When they arrive in the location, they find a tombstone telling that one hundred years ago, Chinese killed Vietnamese, dropped them in a lake and built a temple over the place, being a sacred location to the Vietnamese. While chasing the missing soldiers, weird things happen with the rescue team.

What would happen if you took a haunting ghost story, and placed it right in the middle of the Vietnam War? You'd get R-Point. Throw in a large amount paranoia, add some frightening visions of dead bodies and you got yourself a winner. 

Genre: Horror/Mystery
