We need to appreciate deaf people
Wow, this movie leaves you no room to breathe! Lol. What I mean is there's action all the time, you're tense all the time! I really loved it.But well, focusing on the story the deaf girl is so smart and so brave!! Even though she can speak and can't hear, she was able to win her freedom together with her mom, the other girl and the girl's brother.
The scene where the murder gets killed was so strong and deep, Wi Ha-joon did an amazing job (i even got scared of him lol)
And when the girl's brother needed to decide to save his sister or the deaf girl...wow i felt him. I would be just like him, in doubt.
But the end was unexpectedly cute! They were all in Jeju island and the girl and her brother even learned how to talk in sign language!
Plus, the scene where the deaf girl was trying to say to the murder that she wanted to stay alive, was so deep...
Oh and the relationship between the deaf girl and her mother was so strong and lovely!!
I would rewatch again with someone for sure

It was good
The movie, frankly, is very wonderful. I loved the heroine’s approach very much. The best thing is that there are no bad feelings. I recommend it. It is useful for teenagers from 14 years old and above. +I recommend it ✨Was this review helpful to you?
Expect to be frustrated
Its a good intense film, kept me angry the whole entire time. So don't go into this movie expecting any moment to relax, there isn't a single moment of that through the entire film. It was great acting, and very intense, even despite being a simple story. I would say it's worth the watch, and consider this a very good movie. Despite cursing and being frustrated the whole time, it was a good cat and mouse chase. Some things I would of done different if I were being chased, but we all think that, but behave very differently when in a panic.Was this review helpful to you?
Heavy watch
Honestly this movie will leave you extremely exhausted after finishing it. I remember watching this for the first time at night and it only made the experience realer, as if I was the one who was getting chased by a serial killer. It’s good and the actors’ great acting will suck you in on it and make it feel like you’re right there with the victim.Though do beware that in this movie a lot of things happen at once, a lot of violence and emotional scenes. It feels as though you can’t even catch a breath for a moment. Everything happens in one day and it doesn’t let you to experience another day where you feel ease and catch a break- no, it ropes you in and it doesn’t let you go until the end.
So if you’re up for a very exhausting (yet good!) movie, then this is definitely it.

heart stopping thriller
This South Korean thriller's twists and turns is an outstanding and promising debut for writer-director Kwon Oh-Seung; it's gripping as a genre exercise and tense. But it also provides a (perhaps unintended) critique of a society that frequently views women and people with disabilities as less valuable than males who are physically fit.Unlucky Do Shik was about to attack another young woman, So Jung (Kim Hye-Yoon), when Kyung Mi just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. So Jung's incredibly controlling brother Tak So (Park Hoon) had warned her not to stay out too late. Uncomfortably, it appears that he was somewhat correct
if you love a good edge of your seat thriller from start to end this is the film for you, definitely one of my favourites.

This was a roller coaster
Okay so this is probably going to be my first and only review. . Umm I'm not sure if these count as a little bit of spoilers but I'll keep the tag up in case.This movie was AMAZING. The acting was spot on and holy crap Wi Hajoons acting was scarily impressive.
It had me look away sometimes and gasp because of the jump-scares and surprising scenes.
By the end of the movie I was so so relieved. Still, all of the things the psychopath did was scarily smart and a little predictable at times. Not to mention what MC did near the end, I was super impressed. If I had to put one thing I didn't like, it would be the police or civilians not seeing what was wrong. I'm pretty sure it was obvious something was off about the guy but yep.
And yeah that's about it!

Wrote this after a rewatch and though I already knew, my feelings were the same in two watches
Seeing the concept (and Wi Hajoon) was what made me interested, and it didn't disappoint me. I absolutely love Hajoon's (and everyone's!) performance in this movie. I first watched Hajoon's soft side in 18 Again, then saw his cooler side in Squid Game, and this is (I'm pretty sure!) the third Hajoon project that I've watched and he did amazing in every single project of his I watched so far, and Midnight is definitely one of my favorites.The chase scenes were honestly so scary and definitely made me just want to focus on it (tbh the whole movie is), like, I felt like if I just tear my attention away for a second, she would get caught or something. There were times when there was absolutely no sound at all, kind of putting it in the girl's point of view and at those times it was the scariest. Even for those few seconds of silence it felt terrifying for me, I really can't imagine how terrifying it must be for her. Running from a serial killer that you have to look back on to check if he's close or not, and though she was on the run herself, she still felt the need to help out the girl she just met. But it was the most frustrating thing ever. She was the nicest girl but when she was the one in need of help, no one did. When she approached some people and they just kinda walked away, it REALLY frustrated me. And I guess the killer is a pretty dang good actor himself for people to believe him over his victims. Or are they not able to sense ABSOLUTE FEAR FROM THE GIRL???? LIKE?????? YALL SERIOUS???????? Maybe if they bothered to actually pay attention to the girl and what she's TRYING HER BEST to convey............ But yknow what, I'm not even surprised about that because that's what these genres do. But it's overall pretty good. Honestly, I don't watch movies a lot but after watching this movie, I suddenly got in the mood to watch some other movies too.

So worth the last effort of her.
Ok, I'll try to make this review very simple. I've been watching k-dramas and k-movies since I was in my high school. And already have seen around 80-90 of them, but I'm telling you I never ever have seen such a masterpiece. All the aspects of this movie like story, osts, acting etc. will definitely make your heart go fall in love with this movie.I loved the way FL tried every way possible to make herself and her mom live alive. So worth the last effort taken by her. Never expected something like this, she'd come up with.
Moreover I would like to add, this movie successfully expresses the human emotions like selfishness. I detested the way police officer choose to give up on saving the FL in order to save her sister. But isn't it's the way they represent human selfishness, more and less they nailed it this time.

Not Your Typical Serial Killer Thriller Movie!
I went into this movie thinking that I would know how it'll end but the characters and story kept on surprising me! The storyline was written well and the scenes were carried out very nicely by the main cast members. The action scenes were amazing to watch and there was some really great thriller heart-racing moments. There were no jump scares, which is good because I don't like them, but that did not make the movie any less scary or intense to watch. There were also no dumb characters, which was surprising because some thriller movies usually do. I am amazed again by Wi Ha Joon's acting and I am excited to see him in more works as the male lead. Wi Ha Joon has great chemistry with Jin Ki Joo so I would love to see them as romantic partners in a drama someday. Anyways, this movie was a great watch and not your typical thriller movie. It is a great choice for people who are afraid of thriller movies because this is as exciting as a thriller without too much scare.Was this review helpful to you?
Best Fricking Thriller K Movie!
I've only seen a few clips, so I didn't know if the movie would meet my expectations. However, it very much went beyond it! Everything was pieced together so well, and I truly enjoyed it. I could and would definitely rewatch this. Each scene was so captivating, and the ending was pleasant and pleasurable. The characters are interesting in a good way! I can't express how much I LOVE this movie, especially since thriller is my all-time favorite genre. I was always looking for this type of thriller with this insane serial killer with interesting characters, and I've finally found it. I've got to give credit to the cast, director, writers, and producer. You can tell everyone's efforts and hard work made into this film. This is just a 10/10 masterpiece.Was this review helpful to you?
WHAT A THRILLING ROLLER COASTER RIDE.
It's so intense from beginning to end. I was riveted all throughout and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The amount of jump scare almost gave me a heart attack. How I wish I watched this in the cinema.Nothing new or special in this movie, but this is just my cup of tea! I love every bit of it. Korean movies never fail to impress me! Keep it coming!
The star-studded cast really delivers an incredible performance, especially Jin Ki-Joo and Wi Ha-Jun! I loved Wi Ha-Jun in 18 Again and I'm so happy to see him in a villainous role! He's so good. I hope he will have more projects in the future. He deserves more recognition. On the other hand, this is the first time I encounter Jin Ki-Joo and all I cay say is that she's an amazing actress. I believe that she will be a successful actress in the future.
The filming location and score added great tension which made me enjoy this movie more. Kudos to the director and the whole team!
This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Watch this with your family or friends!

PSYCHO
Effectively a crazy movie, ending with a smile on your face. The film reflects reality in its entirety and shows you that you should not judge people by their looks or their problems. The ending was excellent, wonderful, everything you want. Now I understand much better people with hearing problems and what they go through or could go through. Although he was killed, I would have liked to have another ending, but this is a very good one, which I did not expect at all. (An example of an ending would be one where he is in prison, to start a treatment, and years later she would see him again, him apologizing for what he had done, begging for her forgiveness, and her hearing him, because she had an operation to be able to hear. She forgives him, but says that they could not remain friends, not even more than that, but only to greet each other when they meet again. Let him agree, and the film ends with her walking out the door. ) In short, the film is worth seeing, but not in the late hours, especially if you get scared quickly, and not in the dark, if you want to sleep that night. The film, in addition to showing you a story of a girl and her mother, gives you a life lesson, from which you have a lot to learn.Was this review helpful to you?
