The Koreans aren't particularly known for their disaster movies although over the past decade the likes of THE TOWER and THE TUNNEL stand out for being particularly suspenseful and well-mounted examples of the genre. SINKHOLE is something else entirely, more comedy and melodrama than disaster flick, although many of the genre's staples are present. The film is preoccupied with home ownership and house prices and follows the escapades of a group of apartment dwellers when their building descends below the earth. The story is totally preposterous and the dodgy CGI doesn't help, but the acting is on point and the cast work well together. However, the second half falls apart a bit and feels surprisingly listless given the premise.
