BAD TASTE HEAVEN!

This is an experiment in how many gross out cliches you can put in a movie: gangrenous dismembered limbs, drinking poo strained water, spitting greenies at the camera and nun rape.

But despite all this none of it really shocks, just has you asking 'Is the plot going to kick in soon?'

Worth a watch though for the great soundtrack.

No story, plot or anything

This film is all over the place. Completely confusing right from the word go. The main problem is there is no plot or any story line what so ever. The movie just drags, and the viewer is trying to work out what is going on here and what to expect next, as you are constantly waiting for a story to begin. You will still be waiting at the end of the film, when you think, what was all that about. Waste of time. It is not as grusome as the other reviwer mentions, although there are an element of wiredness.

Could have been better!

This film could have been much better due to its main plot (which I won't giveaway)but the makers went off track during the middle and then just went quite strange.....worth watching once though to make your own mind.

Terrifying

When i say terrifying, I don't mean the film itself, rather that this piece of unholy turd was written by Park Chan-Wook.

Yep, the maestro behind Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, OLD BOY and Lady Vengeance wrote this cinematic abortion.

Korean comedy often delves into a slapstick that doesn't always translate well, but I can't think of a single redeming feature of this film.

Wow, I don't remember a thing!

I watched this film only a few months ago, but I can't remember a thing about it! I'm a massive fan of asian cinema and almost every film I see has at least something that sticks with me, but this one just leaves me drawing blanks!

Obviously nothing exciting.

Don't waste your time

Suggest you save your time and money and watch another show, this one is RUBBISH. Enjoy it if you like dark Korean movies that make NO sense.
