Anyway, the film starts off not too bad, Joo-yun played by Oh San-ha is sitting in her car on a snowy night due to her car breaking down. While talking to her fiancé, a man appears and offers to fix her car, though she quickly shoos him away, only to have him later break into her car and knock her unconscious. He later kills her by chopping her into pieces. Oh yea did I mention her fiancé is an agent called Soo-hyun (Played by Lee Byung-hun), so basically whole film revolves around him finding the killer and tracking and stopping him once and for all to get revenge (I'm around 50% through the movie so far). I later found out that the agent lets the killer off before the killer goes and finds his next target. I find this aspect of the film a bit odd, and I don't quite understand why it is done.
All I have to say is that if you want to watch a psychopathic maniac on the killing Supre then this film is the one for you. I myself have watched countless horror films but this one really tops the gore factor. I like how the director has utilised off screen violence to make scenes so much more gruesome, it's really fascinating how the director has done this. For the storyline, I think it is very unique, something out of the ordinary. Maybe because I have not watched many Korean films before, but they seem to have a way with storytelling. There are countless fight scenes in this film which I think would entertain the people who are interested in action films as well.
Overall this film is quite something, a bit hard to understand in parts, and a bit hard to watch in others, but overall I think this film is quite something. I do not think this film is suited for everyone, but if you are into more horror films this this film is more for you. My rating would have to be a 7/10. See you next time in my next review, bye!
