Missing Korean Movie 2009




Starring: Moon Seung Geun, Jun Se Hong, and Choo Ja Hyun 

Rating: R, brutal violent content including rape and torture

Synopsis: Hyeon Ah tags along with her boyfriend to one of his favorite restaurants; an unknown little place in the countryside. Hyeon Ah's sister constantly worries about her so when she doesn't answer her phone for several days her sister starts to panic. She sets out to find her using what little she knows from the last phone call she had with her. The police don't want to help on a missing person's case because they don't believe that she is really missing. Because of this she has no choice but to go out on her own. She happens upon a witness who claim they saw her sister near the home of an elderly man named Pan-Kon. Little does she know this is only the beginning of the nightmares to come. 

My thoughts: Creepiest movie posters ever. You know the guy who played the serial killer needed some serious therapy after this movie. On doing some follow up research this movie is based on a true story?! About a 70 year old South Korean fisherman who murdered four women between September & August of 2007 in Bosung, South Jeolla Province, South Korea. I... did not know that when I was watching it... *shudders*

I was in the mood for a scary flick and happened upon this. Not recently, but in the past year I had watched this movie called Gone with Amanda Seyfried. The story-lines sound almost identical. Younger sister gets taken, older sister goes to find her on her own because the police think she's crazy. So I was expecting a movie like that; some jump scenes, a little who-dun-it. What I got was a freaking intense, gory
 movie. The plot was great and the actors did a fantastic job. Obviously something like this where you already know what happens is hard to re-watch with the same effect. (Although I don't think I'd ever want to re-watch it anyway) because man was the killer sick and twisted. So if that sounds interesting, give it a go.


My conclusion: 

Watch


Not Watch
