    Not great, but not a bad weekend watch.

    I didn't know what I was getting into, but Korean erotic thrillers seem to be my wheelhouse. I'm just innately drawn to them. And as a culture (from what I've been led to understand) which heavily prizes beauty, they sure do look good naked. So, mission accomplished, my friends.

    The audio of this shit is just so grating. Obviously I wasn't expecting a movie about Auschwitz to be "pleasant," but most of it is just boots walking around with an occasional wailing baby or a barking dog as ambience. With the background sound and imagery of gunshots and fire and…
