Plot – Spoilers:
Very loosely based on a South Korean fisherman, Oh, who killed three women and a man in the 2000s.
A chicken farmer with an invalid mother at home runs a small restaurant in a remote village that hardly has any tourists. The locals love the unique taste of the eggs he sells, a taste that’s unbeknownst to them spiked with the human flesh his chicken feed on. The supply of flesh comes from the caged tourist girls he torments in his cellar (like dogs, in his words) until they no longer please him. After one such girl goes missing, her sister comes a-searching but has to deal with bumbling country police.
The killer behaves like a veteran when it comes to the girls. He’s not rabid wanting to finish his victims in a hurry. Rather, he likes to drag it out and savor the moment. So for example, when he locks one of his victims in, he pauses outside for a while to hear her begging and later even spends a while alone, playing the harmonica.
Missing borders on the ridiculous towards the end, but is mostly saved by Moon Sung-Keun’s performance as the killer. If you’ve watched enough Korean killer movies, there is a certain nonplussed expressionless demeanor the psychopaths tend to wear. And while it might have become generic, it remains an attractive one, at least to fans of their cinema.
Crudisima
I started to watch this but I shut it off about 20 minutes in to it. It’s just so corny.
oh and fred’s a fag
pretty good movie, thats unfortunetaly all too realistic in the world. forget the fraud feminist garbage from hollywood nowadays.
Borders on the rediculous, is a massive understatement. The most horrific thing you will see is the farmers shirt. Other than that it plods along draining the viewers patience much like any other korean drama.
Watchout for the Doomsday cock,ive cast a spell over you gay cry baby faggots,on the 30th of this month at 1pm precisely half of you will get AIDS like me the other must say my name in the mirror 3 times & 3 times a day to avoid getting aids,got you fucking cowards
waste of time. no R scenes
Entertaining enough
I’m sorry. I know I’m in some sort of minority about this movie, but frankly I think it was terrible. The first part of the movie was pretty poorly written and the acting wasn’t terribly much better. Far too much of this movie was told to us instead of shown, which is a surefire way to make you not care about characters that the finale requires you to care about. If a character has to tell you that they’re broken, instead of you seeing it revealed through their own actions and the revelation of those weaknesses… even the revelation of their awareness of those weaknesses, then you haven’t made me feel for the characters inherent sadness. “I’ll pretty much do anything as long as you tell me you love me,” should be a heart breaking revelation… but it wasn’t earned one bit. It just fell flat and made me say “okay, so she’s broken…. what a stereotype”. Frankly I think making this a found footage film was a mistake. While I’m sure it was done to try to bump the realism factor, the genre itself is so limiting that it forces awkward scenes and also some very strange moments like Megan and Amy doing some sort of video chat on their phones when they’re literally on their way to each other (apparently a very short distance). It also forces one to question who in the film was recording all of these Skype sessions and why were they recording them? Moving… Read more »
