About Me


Once upon a time, two little girls were sent to live with their wicked stepmother in the country. Su-Mi and Su-Yeon have had to go away for a little while because they've been sick, but now they're back in the family home, deep in the countryside and at the mercy of their seriously nutty stepmom, Eun-Joo.
Director Kim Ji-Won spends the first half of his movie building up the quiet, stately rhythms of family life, but if you listen carefully you can hear something rotten and dead scrabbling away beneath the floorboards.


My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Movies:


“Elegantly filmed.”
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
“Kim jee-woon joins the short list of directors to watch.”
Jeff Shannon, The Seattle Times
“One of the best and most haunting of the recent Asian horror films.”
Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“Ji-woon has a distinct auteurial signature, gorgeous and very catchy.”
Tim Appelo, Seattle Weekly
“So bloody good.”
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
“The most beautiful – if not the scariest – horror movie in ages.”
Ken Fox, TV Guide’s Movie Guide
“Much more watchable than much of the Oscar-bait clogging up moviehouses nationwide.”
V.A. Musetto, NY Post
“A tour de force of psychological horror at its creepest.”
Kevin Thomas, LA Times
“Grabs you from the very first scene.”
Henry Sheehan, KPCC FM
“The film succeeds again and again at pulling you to the edge of your seat and keeping you there.”
Ernest Hardy, LA Weekly
“Plays ping-pong with perception and time, and makes it look easy.”
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
“Wonderfully creepy.”
Ken Tucker, New York Magazine
“The shocks are splendid”
Ray Pride, Chicago Newcity
“Style reigns supreme in this film, both visually and aurally.”
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune
“This purposefully evasive chiller invites us to lose our grip on reality.”
Robert Denerstein, Rocky Mountain News
“One of the better movies I’ve seen this year. Its deep, psychological style absolutely captivated me.”
Joe, asiaXpress.com
“Seductively sinister...visually sumptuous.”
Dennis Dermody, Paper Magazine
"Astonishing...this is incredibly powerful stuff."
Blink Magazine
“A haunting tale. A story of guilt, ghosts and sheer madness. A shiver inducing eeriness.”
Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"FOUR STARS (Highest Rating). An instant horror classic! So beautifully
crafted, so creepy, so nerve-wracking! Guaranteed to provoke thought and discussion long after the credits roll. I love this film!"

Todd David Schwartz, CBS Radio
