pcsarkar I chanced upon this gem of a movie while Googling for Asian horror classics. By no stretch of imagination can this be described as a horror movie. It is a black comedy, which becomes truly hilarious as it progresses. Each character is unique, dead-pan and allegorical. The film is fast paced, suspenseful and full of sudden twists and turns, which leave the viewer baffled. The cast is perfect - from the landlord, to the landlady, the daughters, the son, uncle and the guests, which include a professional killer, an under-cover policeman, North Korean 'spies' and such-like, all of whom met bizarre ends, due to twists of fate. I do not blame North Korea, envying South Korea, for producing such gems :-)Highly recommended.

princebansal1982 Choyonghan kajok is quite original and weird black comedy. Choyonghan kajok, like a lot of Korean movies is quite gruesome in nature, though the recent Korean movies have surpassed it by a huge margin. This movie has Min-sik Choi in a good role, but nowhere near the greatness of his more recent roles. Everybody else has done a fine job, but nobody really stands out.Choyonghan kajok is about a family own a lodge in a remote area. When there first customer dies they decide to bury him to avoid publicity. But things just go on escalating. Choyonghan kajok has a fresh premise and keeps the audience hooked in throughout. A Nice Effort.

ichimaru Well, I just finished watching this film and my feelings toward it are a little mixed. I had been told to expect dark humor and I wasn't let down. There is a lot of dark humor in this movie about a dysfunctional family trying to make a living in an old inn out on a not-so-well-traversed mountain where a major road is expected to be built. Of course, this family ends up going from mishap to mishap, and throughout most of it, the two daughters are quite oblivious of what the rest of their family is doing.The first sense of foreboding comes from a blabbering old woman the youngest daughter and uncle assume to be crazy. Then after that, things start to happen, starting with a possible suicide in one of the rooms that leads into more mishaps, misunderstandings, and murder. But throughout all this, the comedy is definitely there.However, my main problem with it was the youngest daughter and her strange attitude throughout the movie. She seemed completely disconnected throughout most of the film, and while for some parts this may have been funny, for others it was just downright awful. I suppose that's why she was considered to be weird (well, the whole family is very weird!).Not the best comedy ever, but certainly good to watch.

Killer-40 First they have no customers, than they all die. And how to get rid of them when you are not used to it? In the end, the family which runs a hotel in the woods is threatened by itself. For some, those funny and horrifying events are just too much. From the distributor of THE SOUL GUARDIANS, a clear must for all phantasy genre fans and friends of SCREAM(s). I saw the movie on Mailand's MIFED (the film fair), my colleague Ivo was quite interested to buy it for the German DVD-market. Besides, we were both attached by Ilshin Investment Co.'s female representative Lady Suh who taught me how to hand over a business card correctly: with both hands. Believe me, the killing in THE QUIET FAMILY was much more western style ;-)
