This story is unique and somewhat strange!
the cast are famous too much, it's nice that this film was filmed when they are young in age (I liked it) and I liked the soundtrack, was fantastic.
When I heard that this movie was filmed in 99s
I thought that the quality will not be so good!
but AsiaTorrent fled movie with very good quality as any modern production!

Very Dark Comedy
If you like your comedies so dark it is beyond pitch black, you cannot miss this movie.Things go wrong against the family's wishes over and over again.
The style of filming feels a bit like Dogme 95 style, but it does not abide by all the rules; it can just give you an equally eerie feeling. It is mostly the lack of background music we tend to expect in a movie. There is some music, but it is in a stark juxtaposition with what's happening on screen. The style of filming feels "raw but polished". It is slightly dated, but some of it was dated even for the time, so I do belief this was intentional. The filming style contributed to me feeling more engrossed in the movie, and it made me feel on the side of the family despite everything horrendous happening. I smiled very often at this peculiar family. This movie is not for the faint of heart, though, despite it being a dark comedy. Trigger warnings for blood and death, but that's in the synopsis.

Una película fundamental para entender el nacimiento del Nuevo Cine Coreano.
Muchos críticos sitúan el nacimiento del nuevo cine coreano en esta película.Yo no estoy de acuerdo, ya que desde mediados de los 90 existían cintas que estaban renovando la industria cinematográfica de este país con nuevas propuestas, y productores que estaban cambiando la forma de hacer cine desde dentro.
Pero sí hay que admitir que esta "The Quiet Family" es muy representativa de esta época, al ser una obra que mezcla géneros como el terror, la comedia y el thriller de forma magistral, poniendo en la palestra a Kim Jee-woon, y a actores como Song Kang-ho y Choi Min-sik.
