    I felt as if the film needed to watched while on mind-altering drugs. I may have enjoyed it a bit more. It wasn't bad to watch, but just a little out there for me. It was alright with an interesting story.

    A good Korean film, if quite odd at times. However it is a great tale of revenge with some surprising twists. Well worth checking out.

    Bleak, sadistic, thrilling, twisted, harrowing and if you can watch it more than once you are a freak who should be locked up in a hotel room yourself and forgoten about.
