This movie is great. I went into this film not knowing what to expect. I mean the only thing I knew was that it was Korean and that it was a comedy costume/period piece. Judging from the cover...

I found this movie absolutely hilarious. Basically you have these 4 warriors/assassins, who just really sort of suck at what they do. While on a mission they run into an abandoned house, which happens to be haunted by the ghosts of four beautiful ghosts. The story then starts to revolve around their quest to help the ghosts seek revenge.

Laughs all around. The funniest part about this film was how quickly it would just pull your emotions all over the place. One moment you're laughing, the next you are in tears (and not from the laughing). I definitely think this is one to see if you are looking for something different, and you will be in for a crazy ride.

oh my sweet heaven! these guys are just too frickin' funny! the characters from Sex is Zero really make this shine. and the humour is utterly hilarious. i laughed so hard sometimes, i nearly wet myself.

if you get Korean comedies, with their seemingly weird ultra-serious subplot, and can handle the juxtaposition, then you'll just love this film. the humour in the midst of the serious moments can seem like a real weird mix, but, again, if you can dig it, it's great.

the action sequences are really well done and are really very satisfying. for all its humour, the film has some great fights! the pacing is just right and you're never bored watching the film.

lost two points because i thought the serious bits went just a bit too long. but then, that's the Korean taste in film: disparate unions.

WR!
