The Red Shoes are a Difficult Fit
Way back in 1845 much loved children's author Hans Christian Andersen penned a vanity tale called The Red Shoes. In it a young girl decides that the love she has for a pair of fine footwear far out shines all else, including coming to the aid of her dying stepmother and turning up for Sundays obligatory church sermons. Being as this was a fable a curse is of course close at hand and the girl discovers that no matter how hard she tries to remove them her beloved shoes will not leave her feet. They begin to dance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tapping away to a never-ending beat that carries the girl relentlessly into the mouth of madness. In a fit of despair she plunges to an extreme that sees her have these most miscreant of feet severed by an obliging woodsman, yet still her condemnation refuses to ease…
South Korean Horror Draws from Iconic Fable
A Pastiche of Well Worn Imagery
Children’s fairy tales and fables have oft times arrived loaded with sadistic and vividly horrific imagery. This before the likes of Disney hosed them clean of their bloodied moral lessons and presented them to a modern public as a far more palatable dish. Director Yong-gyun Kim draws a rough framework from this original tale but never quite infuses it with enough of his own vision to again make it valid and horrifically fresh.

The Red Shoes
The inclusion in this film of set pieces that yet again play with images of long haired, downward-looking school girls and creepy monosyllabic children will have fans of The Ring and its string of clones yawning from over familiarity. This is not to say that Yong-gyun Kim is not in obvious possession of a keen and deft directorial eye. One that adds even to this now well trodden path that he chooses to have us travel. But it is a helmers hand that frustratingly hints at guiding the viewer into uncharted waters before instead returning us to the tried and true. The tail of this tale convolutes and tangles itself into so many layered knots that the payoff twist falls flat. Every genre mainstay from flickering florescent lighting to ghostly shapes that are likewise a flicker at the end of stretched perspective hallways are thrown into a mix that never truly finds its own backbone.
The Red Shoes arrives not without an intriguingly dark central premise; the pitch of which seems tailor made for horror. A woman discovers her husband is having an affair and flees with her young daughter into the city. They move into a decrepit building and struggle to begin a new life. But soon the seemingly innocuous discovery of a pair of abandoned designer red shoes upon a commuter train incites an extended spree of obsessive violence. A violence directed at whomever is bewitched and takes charge of the shoes, condemning them to suffer and bleed for their fleeting moment of vanity. Surely this is by no means a fresh storyboard, but like all good tales it is one that could have found new and relevant voice had it only fronted up with a memorable take all of its own. As it turned out The Red Shoes provided an entertaining, if not seriously over worked story,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but one that is ultimately far, far too easy to forget. 2/5
The Red Shoes is a horror film that again rolls off of South Koreas overactive genre production line. But it does so with a creaky familiarity that will have many followers of this specific branch of the horror tree wondering exactly were they have seen it all before. The flick jittery smash-cuts that spread throughout the piece are reminiscent to any number of previous offerings the likes of which can be found within its distributor Tartan Asia Extremes extensive back catalog.
