Editor’s Note: A quick note on Lingering (2020): This film effectively delves into its horror and mystery elements without feeling cliché. Under the helm of Yoon Eun-kyoung, the narrative maintains a consistent pace and a vivid sense of location. The performances by Lee Se-young, Park Ji-young, and Park Hyo-ju ground the film with a realistic approach. With a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes, it takes its time without dragging on. Reception has varied, so approach it for its atmosphere rather than straightforward thrills. Its tagline—“Welcome to hotel lake.”—captures its essence well. If the concept intrigues you, it definitely deserves a spot on your watchlist.
