Jeong-hwa Eom, Seong-kun Mun

A woman gets killed in a department store. No one imagines this could lead to serial murders, but two days after the first murder, another homicide occurs. A woman is suffocated to death and the only ...( read more  read more... )evidence left at the crime scene is a sticker of the cartoon character "Princess Aurora".

    A brutal killing begins this film and sets up the tone for things to come. It's a serial killer film with a twist, as it's obvious the serial killer has motives we are not aware of. As the film progresses it becomes more personal and emotional. The killer is the ex-wife of the po...( read more)liceman investigating the murders, adding one of those tragic cat and mouse layers, but never quite shaking off the convenience of it all. Princess Aurora isn't just any revenge film, it captures how it can easily escalate into insanity. Stunning performances and beautiful photography make sure there is always something to appreciate, even when the film gets stuck shifting gears.

    Interesting premise that tends to wander a bit; the twist at the end is somehwat a letdown..overall a decent watch, just nothing novel or memorable.

    This one is a great movie for revenge, the beginning of this movie gives a good twist. Like the other thriller Korean movies, they used much blood to give the thriller sense, just like in this movie.

    This Korean thriller is very good by giving me the mystery of why "Princess Aurora" has murdered 5 people. At the beginning, that didn't make sense why "Princess Aurora" wanted to kill them, maybe for making rude to other people she saw, that's what I thought. Then I found out at...( read more) the nearly final, it was her vengeance from the flashback. You'll see when you watch it.

    Wonderful vengeance flick, almost on par with Park Chan Wook's trilogy.

    Princess Aurora is a revenge unlike those I have seen before. The Korean's really know how to do their revenge cinema. The film revolves around a series of seemingly random murders, but when Princess Aurora stickers begin to appear at each crime scene, it's obvious there is a c...( read more)onnection, and what's more, the killer WANTS to be found.

    The film's main character is a neurotic mess, and following her exploits as she kills those related to her revenge spree is satisfying. The film has great acting, and deep characters. What's not to love about this gripping revenge drama?

    The only real issue with Princess Aurora is it runs a little bit long and doesn't quite know how to wrap things up. There were two or three points that I would have been content with had the credits rolled, and when they finally did, the scene left me unsatisfied.

    Revenge cinema fans need to see Princess Aurora, everyone else should definitely consider giving it a look.

    I was engaged throughout this movie and I was surprised. Kind of a "whats-wrong-with-this-chick" movie, it delivers quite a bit of mystery and craziness to the table. An enjoyable thriller with a bit of emotional story to it.

    The opening death scene is honestly one of the best I've seen in a long time. Unlike many movies, this one has you continually ask "who is this woman and why is she doing what she's doing", but it all comes together in the end in a tradgic reveal of the past.
