02/10/2016 creepy dark & grisly comes this serial killer tale from Korea. See more 07/06/2014 A stylish thriller that is not afraid to venture into gruesome territory. It does a good job building up suspense, but there are perhaps too many plot twists towards the end. I do like movies that end on ambiguous note, but this one seems to overdo it a bit, definitely achieving the goal of confusing the audience. See more 04/14/2014 The Great Thriller film and Ending it so PEAK. See more 10/25/2013 "A grisly, dark bit of entertainment." "A complicated and stylish Korean thriller that will make viewers' skin crawl." See more 06/04/2013 One of the worst thrillers i have ever seen. See more 02/17/2012 Another gory Korean crime thriller. Predictable plot, but still a good movie. See more Read all reviews
