7. The Wonder Hospital
Director: Beomsik Shimbe Shim (USA) If only The Wonder Hospital were a feature-length film. Or, better yet, a theme park. For there is truly nothing like this; except for perhaps the most unsettling video game or the most vivid of nightmares. Part supernatural horror, part surreal comedy (as well as homage to The Wizard of Oz), this story of a young womans desire for physical perfection takes one decidedly twisted turn after another. Clever, curious but always compelling, the near-abandoned hospital provides a backdrop for all manner of hallucinations. The film also acts as a study, it would seem, into the aesthetics of 3D; with the colours red and green spilling like neon paint in almost every shot. Worth checking in, just make sure you know your way out.
