    Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

    As a visual art form, Oldboy delivers. It’s visceral, disturbing, and dripping with a disgusting degree of dread that demands a physical response from the viewer. The mind’s stomach churns from unease, while the body contorts and fidgets helplessly in your seat during the (brief) moments of reprieve between each punch, stab, and hammer-induced teeth-pull. You feel non-consensually dragged into this horrific world, and for just under two hours, there’s no way out (not even a chopstick will…
