Very average


I'm writing this while watching the movie..it's that predictable and annoying. It's a very average serial killer movie with not one thrilling moment (or it should be the constant sound-effect on the background which dictates we are supposedly watching something very exciting). Usually I wouldn't want to comment on this kind of movie, but reading the rave reviews of some users, I want to warn people to waste their time on this, like I did.

This movie wasn't a waste of time. I really enjoyed it. You don't really give much of a reason for not liking it. I found this movie to be quite good. It starts off a little rocky in some ways, but really picks up. Did you finish watching the movie? Just wondering, cause I absolutely loved the ending.

It really goes off the rails in the last 30 minutes.

Well our tastes might be really different because this was one of the most interesting movies I've seen in a long time. I was really surprised to see how strong South Korean filmmaking is. In my opinion this is far better than quite a lot of american movies in the genre.

I mostly agree. I went into this fully prepared to love it, only to be mostly bored the entire way through. Other than how attractive the main actress was, I was pretty disappointed. I've seen some great South Korean movies, but this wasn't one of them. (5/10)

agreed, I dont feel excited at all. Just an average korean thriller, maybe better than all those USA production but something missing I guess, the feel of thrilling!

Its excellent movie and far better than some of the overated hollywood thrillers.

I wasn't over rapt with the movie, but you didn't actually give any reasons why you felt it was very average. 🐭

Agree. Average, at best.

The killer was not really that scary, and his motivations was, weirdly, simultaneously mundane and difficult to understand. The main character was not that interesting and a bit difficult to sympathize with, and the plot pretty much lacked any mystery and twists. Well, it tried to have some twist but they were pretty meh.

The weird stalker hero was nice though. Should have made the movie about him.
