Ghost Runner (2020)

Underated

I'm surprised this has such a low rating on here, it's worth the watch.

I'm going the preface this review by saying I am a big fan of horror, watched a ton of them, and this has a solid B horror feel to it. I'm a softie for a love story in a horror and I think they actually did a fairly good job sticking a balance. Was it anything out of the box? No. But it wasn't an engineering BL in uni, so it should get some recognition for that alone. It was a little tropie but it hit all the beats, the acting was decent, and the leads likable. The gratuitous use of slow-motion though was a little painful in places but it's only 8 episodes so they didn't really get a chance to fully explore the story. Honestly, they could have leaned into the horror more, but it's pretty on par with other Asian horror I've watched.

The ending was a little odd for lack of a better word, without spoiling anything, but again it was a short series so they need to wrap things up. Would recommend, and we need some more horror BL.
