H's delicious premise is muddied not only by some muddy filmmaking (courtesy of South Korea's Jong-hyuk Lee) and a really sleepy bunch of 'good guys,' including a heroine cop (Jung-ah Yum) who barely makes in impression on the viewer -- or, in the end, on any of the bad guys. Touted as 'a cross between Seven and The Silence of the Lambs,' that's an apt description for H ('you can't spell Hell without it!'), though its best elements are direct ripoffs from its forebears.
The ultimate revelation of H is neat, but ultimately the movie doesn't make a whole lot of sense. In fact, it's been made before (see Copycat) in renditions which have been much easier to follow.
H nonetheless has enough bright spots and well-done moments (though not for the squeamish) that it merits a cautious recommendation. Just don't be shocked if you end up feeling the 'H' is for 'Huh?' instead of 'Hell.'
