black plastic bag of human body part swim in blood be find in various place in the city of seoul in south korea . police investigate them and soon see they belong to various victim and be mixed together in order to confuse the mind of those that be investigate . a mysteriously silent and beautiful female become number one lead for them and target of police investigation and question and the more the film run and the more we get close to the truth and reveal the identity of the violent killer . much more can not be say about korean film maker yoon hyun chang disturb serial killer thriller tell me something ( 1999 ) without spoil it many surprise and plot turn come . unfortunately and this film and in my opinion and and after my first viewing and have more flaw and hole than real merit in it . first of all and it be sadly too long a it run 117 minute in ntsc speed . that would be okay if the film have very interesting and multi level and character in it that would make the whole ride much fast and more fluent to sit through and naturally . now the character do not develop too interestingly and also the film hasn not get any real message to deliver and thus be only a serial killer horror film and not much else . many have compare this to the u film maker david fincher masterful tale of wickedness living inside ourselves and our society and seven ( 1995 ) and but that film be not only visually much more stunning and brilliant than tell me something but also have it message and theme to make the whole piece much big and more noteworthy . i felt very bored during many scene of this korean film a they do not give anything to the film a a whole . they should have shorten the film by some 30 minute without harm the end result . the typical traumatic childhood thing feel also pretty stupid and like it be just fastly write to give some kind of a motivation for the killer act . traumatic childhood and horror relate to it be a very serious subject matter in cinema and in a film like this and it feel a little unnecessary and also even repellent . if they have give a more interesting and different explanation for the killer act and it would be more interesting to watch even in this too long form . the positive thing be also there and fortunately and and especially the few shock scene ( like the head on the seat of the car ) be truly effective and do with great fast editing and merciless element on the soundtrack . worth mentioning be also the kubrickesque elevator scene that have a remarkably effective soundtrack behind it and make it strong . the silent scene and especially the face expression and eye of the female lead be also very impressive and once again show how much more powerful cinema can be without word and silently . also the scene inside some industrial building ( follow by a brutal murder ) be effective and use the daytime setting and empty room and distant sound in the sountrack very effectively and give also a strong feel of loneliness in such a big city . if they only have want to give u more than just murder mystery with this film of their . the graphic horror element be very strong in this film and and the nastiness of them even surprise me . the film open with a grisly depiction of dissection and nauseatingly realistic body part and blood and which be show for several second in close ups without any other reason . similar scene follow and the film also include one of the nasty highway multi car accident i have ever see and and that be definitely an unusually horrific scene . also and equally sudden and nasty be the elevator scene and these scene involve bag full of body part be a graphic and slippery a they just can be so the film maker seemingly want to deliver plenty of gore with this film . it all come also a little gratuitous a sometimes the real suspense and other more noteworthy horror element suffer and leave on the background due to these easy scene . the film include also one brutal kill that definitely belong to the mentioned category of be noticably calculate . the scene be distantly close to the impalement kill in japanese toshihara ikeda disturb masterpiece evil dead trap ( 1988 ) and a film that have wonderful soundtrack and equally wonderful ( and gruesome ) surreal imagery and terror atmosphere and on any level great film than tell me something . tell me something have potential but doesn not use it as near as completely a would have be prefer . it will probably please most slasher and horror fan that like their film bloody and mysterious and but if youre look for a more intelligent and effective ( both mentally and physically ) piece and then it will probably come a a more or less slight disappointment a it come to me . still and due to it few merit and overall eastern status ( mean there be not any stupid lightening entertainment element usually find in and for example and modern hollywood horror film ) make this to 4/10 category . and with capital g i would add .
