Korean cinema is so dark and disturbing. I watched Old Boy a few years ago and found it a chilling experience.
If you are interested in other Korean films, give JSA a try and also Taeguki, a film about two brothers in the Korean War. They are both awesome. Taeguki's war scenes make the start of Saving Private Ryan look like a calm walk on the beach.

In a way. The three films have a thematic link more than anything else. They are not one story. If I remember rightly, Old Boy is the middle of the three.

Hmm..never really been a vampire film person. Would that matter or is it so epic that it would convert me? :rolleyes:

Funny you said that. The way it started I could have sworn it was a Tarantino film.

Old Boy is a great film, really hooks you. The squid scene is mental, and in reality, had to be filmed twice! EEK!
Also, I know they're not as dark, but they are entertaining - check out the Japanese 'Death Note' films, I and II. Great fun. Film 4 showed them a few months ago and I bought them straight away!

That's why the Vash should win. He's got good taste and seems like a nice guy, easy to get along with - a common quality among all BB winners so far, and no one else in the house comes close this year.

Disguting and depraved is who i would describe that movie. No wonder violence is so prevalent in societies. I know you shouldnt blame movies, but this is one of those movies.
That sick virginia tech killer got some good inspiration from this movie..
I actually wish i hadnt seen this movie..

It is in Korean. However, it is readily available with English subtitles.

Best take some happy pills before you watch it and have a magnificent party arranged for afterwards. Looks rubbish, and trailers show you the better bits.

There isn't THAT much gore it's mostly implied with clever build up editing.

Had oldboy on my HD for a while now never got round to watching it. Will probably watch it after BBBM tonight. Also want to check out Marcus film of choice naked. Is that worth a go?
It is.
Film4 shows it quite a lot. :lovedup:
