This debut thriller failed miserably back in January where it was brutally snuffed by the Korean public. Only 1, 144 bothered with Won-joon's thrill-less rural expedition, a sad sum indeed that speaks to the film's serious lack of appeal and appreciation for the very genre it was trying to associate itself with. It's a cynical, manically misogynistic, lacklustre non-event that should be avoided, if not forgotten all together.
