    Bong Joon-ho's first film and it's easy to see how he became an interest to the Korean mainstream. His sense of humour is even darker here than it is in Memories of Murder or The Host. It certainly wont be for everyone, especially if you be loving little doggies. It's quite bizar...( read more)re how we feel sympathy for Yun-Ju. He may do some pretty sick things but he is life's doormat. The film goes further than most films would even dare. Their are not comeuppances as such, but the characters do learn valuable lessons. A niche market film, but one where you should be able to appreciate the director's talent and what he has gone on to achieve since.

    A Funny and clever dark comedy, about a man who plans to kill his neighbor's noisy, yapping dog and the girl who attempts to foil him.

    Bong Joon-ho's unique deadpan humour at its best, Liked this better than The Host & for me it's on the same level as MOM, Imo this is what films like Wes Anderson's boring movies fail to be like, Special mention to the great cast

    This marvelous debut by Joon-ho Bong ("The Host") is a must-see for lovers of great Asian cinema. Highly praised and recommended.

    super female detective.
  • January 6, 2009
    Quirky, humourous debut from the man who later created the masterpiece that is 'Memories of Murder'.

    People are not always what they seem, or their ambitions really what they truely want.
  • September 18, 2007
