Review of H (2002) by Brian C — 21 Sep 2009
What a great Korean thriller. We have an imprisoned serial killer waiting for execution, and in the meantime there is a copycat killer re-enacting the brutal murders.
At the same time we have 2 detective trying to figure out the motives, the next victim, and who is behind these murders.
On top of that the serial killer is taunting and manipulating the detectives, and the mystery begins to unravel.
I don't want to give much away, because even explaining what 'H' means would totally ruin the brilliant ending.
Needless to say, this movie does share its roots with several American thriller/serial killer movies, but there is much originality in this movie.
Jin-hee Ji is excellent, although I found Jung-ah's performance to be very wooden...although perhaps that was the intention all along.
All in all, definitely worth a watch.
