It would have been fine but the acting is pretty over the top, making scenes almost laughable.

For the most part A Bloody Aria has an adept way of muddying these themes for audiences expecting the usual gore-thirsty trip.

It may seem an odd thing to say about a film in which a baseball bat as an instrument of assault and rape is a recurring theme, but what makes A Bloody Aria a darkly delightful surprise is its restraint.

With so much pointless violence for the sake of violence and a terrible non-sensical ending, this film is a grueling and pointless exercise that never fully delivers on its premise.

If you always enjoyed Harold Pinter’s tense chamber dramas but wished the characters were better armed, A Bloody Aria is your ticket.

Half as amusing as that viral video of a sheep scaring its peeps while wearing a Halloween mask, A Bloody Aria is also less incisive.

Black comedy about upper-class Koreans being humiliated and worse by countryside thugs in a kind of homage to both Mozart and "Deliverance"!

Performers are convincing enough to keep audience involvement in a tale of revenge: victims become victimizers.
