Feb 10, 2016 creepy dark & grisly comes this serial killer tale from Korea. See more Jul 6, 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.
