Midnight

A decent outing by the guy playing the villain but overall the script is just bad, it's not just the holes, the level of stupidity of the characters is probably insulting to the deaf of South Korea, their police force and society in general. The suspension of disbelief has its limits and this movie is crossing the line all the time.

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.

The movie's plot is a quite good, but there is some part of the movie feels a bit nonsense. The villain (Wi Ha-Joon) and the mute girl (Jin Ki-Joo) played their role really well.

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.

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.
