spoiler alert . don not read on unless youre prepare for some spoiler . i think this film have a lot beneath it shell . besides the apparent connection with oldboy ( and park wook other film ) and an incestuous relation in this one really disturb me and and also the subtle erotic theme that hung around all the vampiric and physical action . the main actor and kang ho song and be terrific in the rôle of the priest sang hyeon coincidentally and sang mean blood in some language who truly loved tae ju and play by ok bin kim . their relationship remind me a lot of that between martin sheen and sissy spacek in badlands and where the girl appear psychopathic and the man be basically wrapped around her finger . their relationship be one thing and but the girl mother be entirely different . while move and she be stiff and one dimensional and taut and but paralyse and she say all through not move and or through the wink of an eye . park wook have really and really master his cinematography in this film and and owe a lot to stanley kubrick while there be a whole lot of beautiful shot strew throughout the film and some for simple effect and some that require several glance and probably repeat view to fully catch . the music be quite stock and use mostly string to accompany the main thespian monoreaction while it a very good thing that the character be as withdrawn a he be . while he do very little and lose at that and he seem to instead be a person who think a lot . while his love interest say and do a lot and her action display very little thought behind it . in my humble opinion . all in all and a very disturbing film that be not make for action and which isn not even in the same dimension a most thing that be about vampire these day while it magnificent and and repellant at the same time .
