Audience Member Enjoyable and intriguing thriller. Gruesome but a powerful story, lots of those from South Korea lately. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The film is set in a small, unnamed Korean town and the story surrounds here this time with two killersâ¦an original & a copycat. Since the identities of the killers were revealed at an early stage of the story, the mystery comes in form of the motives behind and the messages intended by the murders and the link between the three men (the killer, copycat & the detective). And as the story progress in a three way game of cat and mouse, with some twists & turns it comes to question who the original killer here is actually? Though itâ(TM)s not up to the level of some recent Korean masterpiece Serial Killer flicks and the flashbacks may turn out to be bit confusing for some viewers but still I liked it pretty much. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent crime/serial killer thriller from South Korea.  A murderer takes it upon himself to hunt down a serial killer in a small town.  It may get melodramatic at times, but this is a very well written film that takes a different approach to most serial killer flicks. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Pff, I've seen this movie two weeks ago, and I can't even remember what it was about. If you really have nothing better to do you could consider watching it.. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
