One of the highest peaks of contemporary K-horror, this is a precise and complexly-layered piece of filmmaking, marked by unbearable suspense, effectively creepy scares and a poignant backstory.
Crafted with operatic scale and striving for an epic-ness that its subject matter necessitates, but ultimately feels overdrawn to work powerfully.
A quite solid action-comedy with Schwarzenegger back in form and versatile Korean director Kim Jee-woon showing what he can do in Hollywood.
If South Korean vengeance movies are your thing, this extremely violent and misogynistic flick might just scare you away.
