Midnight silence

Works mostly as a generic thriller, but there are some very interesting scares, the best foot chase of the year and a great usage of silence to put us on the main characters feet.

With just a 4 to 5 characters ànd the streets of Korea and some breath taking performance from the cast,which was easily passable with the brilliant screenplay and crisp editing,with pitch perfect night visuals lighting,so what a nail biting around two hours of roller coaster ride that easily captures u.

The movie is about a serial killer who is killing people randomly. But once a physically disabled (deaf) girl happened to see while on the way home. So, she is attacked too. On the other hand, her mother is waiting for her on road. Will they be able to protect themselves?

It may contain some spoilers, I feel like watching ''A cat trying to catch mouse'' Maybe half of the movie is about roaming and hiding. The most frustrating thing is the police officers, are they too dumb! They just let the serial killer go. While they are saying, he is the one. Whereas, they caught the brother of the girl who the serial killer attacked/killed. He came there to report but instead of reporting or taking action, they just lock him up. Even, in the whole movie, the police did nothing. Though some serial killings are going on.

Korea's latest serial killer thriller is quite obviously a lockdown movie, so looking cheaper and more basic than we're used to. Don't go in expecting it to be on the same wavelength as I SAW THE DEVIL or THE CHASER, the stand-out classics of the genre. Saying that, it's still a fun little film that ekes every drop of suspense from the premise, which is that a deaf-mute mother and daughter are pursued by a killer whose crimes they witnessed. Plenty of contrivance in this one from a first time writer/director, but the pace is spot on, the acting strong, and there are plenty of thrills to take your mind off any problems.

Some people really don't like this film but I'm one who does enjoy this thrilling idea. The lovely Ki-joo Jin plays a deaf girl and also her mother whilst there is a serial killer around. True this is a simple idea with a half a dozen people and a few streets and running around as well as also in the girls' house, it is still very fast and very scary. Their impairment makes it difficult with a killer on the loose but at least they can talk together without the killer understanding. I love the fact that this takes so little to make it good and I loved it.
