The highlights of this movie remain the acting—Choi Min-sik is just brilliant and evil, and his presence overshadows the protagonist. The score complements the scenes very well, even during jump scares. Technical qualities such as the makeup, gore, and locations are also great. However, the script has serious problems. The protagonist is Bruce Lee-powerful when convenient, but for unexplained reasons, he repeatedly delays intervening. As a result, female victims are subjected to harm and violence due to his hesitation, and the camera work becomes problematic when this happens multiple times. Additionally, a ridiculous and unbelievable coincidence occurs in the middle of the movie involving a taxi—an event that could make for an entertaining short film on its own. Finally, the ending makes no sense, as the only people who suffer are innocent victims. Overall, this movie is worth watching because there are entertaining moments throughout.
