Review of Ivanna

Ivanna (2022)
7/10
Ring's Sadako, Sleepy Hollow-style
7 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Nothing especially original here - lots of ghost story tropes, like hidden basements, records playing themselves, etc...not to mention the huge influence Ring has over modern supernatural Asian horror movies (yeah, we know... look in the well)... but hey, Ivanna is executed pretty decently!

I won't go over the plot, since you've likely read the synopsis, but this tale of a partially blind girl versus the 'statue' of a headless WW2-era Dutch woman is eerie enough to be pretty entertaining. The lead actress is charismatic. It's well filmed and creepy. This is a good, solid ghost story; whether you feel the been-there-done-that nature of the story/scares drags it down or is exactly what you were looking for will be a matter of personal preference.
