not for the squeamish and but the number of twist and inventive us of situation use vampire mythology and gorgeous visual extreme and together with interesting and quirky character make this one of the most stunning horror film i have ever see . it descend into utter madness along with character and but never seem exploitative or horrific without purpose . there be copious amount of bloodletting accompany by some nasty sucking and squish sound and but also subtle moment where you laugh out loud . a he tend to do and chan wook park keep you off center with leap in time and plot and situation that you have to fill in for yourself force your involvement in the story and character . and there a lot of literal leaping . keep in the vein of vampire myth ( pun intend ) and they have superhuman strength and can nearly leap tall building in a single bound ( to coin a phrase ) . the first time our heroine be carry by the across the top of building by the troubled vampire priest and it have all the magical romance of lois lane and superman but this romance become increasingly disturb but drive by a strange and conflict love affair not by mere horror . the acting be superb and particularly ok vin kim and the gorgeous actress in the female lead role who and at 22 and show a range that be remarkable . the character border on a kind of black widow film noir type . she careen from innocent to impish to vixen to demon with utter conviction . this be a really smooth and nervy performance . if you love real art in horror and or be a fan of oldboy do not wait for the video and see it immediately .
