Joo-Hyub is a cold blooded serial killer, but he tries to live unnoticed in a small village with his son Yong-Ho. His son becomes friends with Ji-Soo who is a new transfer student at his school. Ji-Soo soon realizes that Joo-Hyub is a serial killer. Joo-Hyub decides to kill Ji-Soo for himself and his son.
Here's a film which I don't reckon made too much noise when it was released. Probably because it doesn't exactly do anything better than most other thrillers that are being released nowadays, but I definitely think that it belongs on this blog. What surprised me was that the relationship between the two students had me far more interested than the actual story about the killer. The films cover and synopsis may lead you to believe that it's a stone-cold and brutal film but it focuses more on other stuff than just killings. The running time is also far from going overboard, clocking in at about an hour and fifteen minutes.
A good thriller with unexpectedly tender moments.
Genre: Thriller
