Spellbound Trailer: Enchants and Scares

A lot of stuff can ruin a budding relationship – hence the need to put-your-best-foot-kidney-limbs-forward. Forgive the quote, but Dr. Sloan of Grey’s Anatomy said it best, “This thing [with Julia] is young and fragile, there’s a lot of pressure.” So yep, lots of pressure and dating really is never easy. So what do you do when the girl you’re dating is perpetually haunted by ghosts and said ghosts occasionally attach/cling to you as well? She even tells you that you’d need to get insurance with full coverage to date her (I guess so you won’t need to be broke when you break a leg or something while fleeing ghosts).


Korean rom-com-horror movie Spellbound from the ongoing Korean Film Festival delves into that very subject. The story revolves around street magician Jo-Goo (Lee Min Ki of Only You) who falls for the mysterious Yeo-Ri (Son Ye Jin of Personal Taste). Boy meets girl, ghosts cling to boy's back, and the horror and comedy ensues. The trailer is pretty interesting, with the smattering of bloody creepy ghost children, a shrouded entity, and even a “Fuck, she’s hovering over me while I am lying on the bed” ghost. See for yourself below:

 

We're not sure if we're going to see Spellbound (also known as Chilling Romance which was first released in December 2011) from writer-director Hwang In-ho, CJ Entertainment, and SangSang Films in Philippine theaters but if you're persistent (and resourceful), you should find a way to see it one way or the other.
