Marriage and death lead a person down strange paths, particularly when matrimony and mortality become united. A recent widower wanders through the days, believing that life’s worst grieving is behind him, and he stumbles into the middle of Spider Forest (2004). A haunting and eerie evocation, director Il-gon Song’s melding of horror, murder mystery, and mysticism hearkens to the afterlife and highlights the many premonitions of eternity that a spiritually conscious man glimpses during his journey to the grave. Not for the squeamish of mind or lazy of soul.
