    The Quiet Family, of which many may know Miike's musical remake Happiness Of The Katakuris, focuses on the Kang family and their attempts to run a successful mountain lodge. Individually the family is a strange bunch, but together they are just that...family, bonding when it come...( read more)s to covering up the untimely deaths of their residents, each family member excelling in their own disposal method.

    An understatement, in every sense of the word, that makes light of a family's attempts to keep everything together when everything in life seems to be falling apart.

    haha.in his earlier career,instead of making a straight thriller,kim jee-woon makes this story of a very dysfunctional family in a small lodge,into a quite funny black comedy.,and as usual,Song Kang-ho steals the scene!

    Hysterically funny and very black farce. Not as good as Miike's remake, but still a fun experience.

    So very funny. KHSong is hysterical. But the soundtrack is strange, it has nothing to do with whats going on in the scenes lol.

    Awesome movie that has an awesome soundtrack. Especially the beginning song and ending song. Also a great part is when the uncle or the brother I forget which is listening to guests doing it and giggles like a school girl. That's awesomely hilarious.

    A hilarious pre-cursor to "The Happiness of the Katakuris".

    Different from the crazy musical Happiness of the Katakuris remake, this one is actually funny. At first it makes you think it's a scary, bizzare movie until to the piont where it just becomes sick repetitive burying work. Dark comedy to the max. ^0^
