Watches too many films, horror obsessed. Still no luck catching them swans.

Oh mate, it baffles me. He's a massive part of 90s/00s and can't see how that wouldn't have reached across the pond.

I'm seeing a lot of Americans seeing the film on a whim and going back through his music which is cool.

We saw him live 3 years ago and he was out of this world. Pure entertainer.

You were right, I absolutely loved it. Although I preferred ISTD in terms of story (and probably because it was more horror adjacent) Byung-hun was so much better in this. Pure class. Cheers for the heads-up mate!

A Bittersweet Life is on BFI Player as well. Lethal that, I'll watch it this weekend

Never even heard of it but same director and Lee Byung-hun back!? I'm in.

Yeah it was amazing. I couldn't understand what they were going to do with the last 90 odd minutes after they met for the first time. Up there with the best 90 mins of thriller/action/horror.

The smile kill was exceptional.

Mate that blew my tits off. I'd have it as up there with some of the best. I've been on a bit of a run with Korean and Indonesian films. Next on the list is The Host and Memories of Murder.

I watched the Oldboy remake before the original and it's probably the best move I've ever made.

I enjoyed the remake because I wasn't aware how subpar it was in comparison and then LOVED the original. I don't think I'll ever watch the remake again (until a Spike Lee retrospective 😂)

Mate it was amazing. One of those I'll watch again and still be hit in a similar way.

I realised at the end I'd had it spoiled for me by a shite American remake with a different name. Obviously erased most of it from my mind because I took all this in like it was new.
