Asian Horror Movie Review
*Warning: includes spoilers*
The opening scene of this particular Asian horror movie is interesting. It starts up with a front
view of the car casually driving along a street. There is light snow falling.
You have a soothing mix of background music. Look up a bit and you see a pair
of bluish white lights around the rear-view mirror which look like two menacing
eyes. This particular scene continues for some time. You see what is going on by the road
but you do not get to see the driver’s face. Combine all of these elements
together and you get a calm but eerie scenario. The predator is looking for his
next prey.
Slow panning or zooming with serene music playing in the
background coupled with shots of graphic violence. You will see a lot of those
on this film. What grabs your attention is that the two main characters are devoid of
feeling, one since birth while the other borne out of a sense of duty. Both men
can dish out and take in pain. It is crude violence artistically shot all the
way to the end.
This is not a film that should be watched by people with a weak
stomach. For those that do have a stomach for it, be prepared for some
gut-wrenchingly good Asian horror.

I really liked what you had to say about in this Asian horror film having a "calm but eerie scenario". It's definitely one of the most recent examples of good horror from Asia. Check out another I Saw The Devil Review if you have the time. Thanks for posting this great review!
