Hide and Seek - Kein Entkommen

This film's overall rating should be higher than just 6.4. I am not saying it's a masterpiece, I am just saying it's a well prepared movie suitable for viewers of all ages.

Korean writer/director Jung Huh made this fascinating film in 2013 to great critical acclaim. It is a well-sculpted movie and surprisingly is more understated than the usual fare from these films.

Seong-soo (Heyeon-ju Son)), a successful businessman who lives with the perfect family in a luxury apartment, has secrets and mysophobia (pathological fear of contamination and germs) about his one and only brother. One day, he goes to see his brother after a phone call about him being missing and sees weird symbols all over the house and he meets Joo-hee (Jung-Hee Moon) who knows his brother. "Please tell him to stop looking at my daughter. Joo-hee lives alone with her daughter but lives in fear of someone watching them. Seong-soo looks around carefully at the old apartment and realizes the symbols mean gender and numbers of people. Seong-soo returns to his home from his brother's and notices a familiar symbol written next to the doorbell of his house, too. And the mystery thriller sails to a strange conclusion.

In Korean with English subtitles, this is a bizarre little jewel of a film, well worth watching.

A man learns that his brother has gone missing and while their past is troubled, he decides to look into the disappearance. His search reveals troubling differences in their lifestyles and it isn't long before the man finds that his family could be in danger. Can he figure out what is going on before something awful happens?

This film was an enjoyable watch. The acting is well, it is filmed well and I felt the story/script could've been tweaked a bit, it wasn't anything that I couldn't look past. There are a few twists that I didn't see coming and that always scores highly with me. I'd suggest it to my friends.

This movie started off slow but im glad i sailed thru it... Korean movie like this should be made viral!!!

The director created a tense and thrilling atmosphere . The acting was brilliant . The child actors were outstanding . The music was great ! I also liked the fact that the movie didn't drag on .

Hollywood films are getting worse and worse . The acting and script is usually awful and they're too busy being 'Woke' rather than making powerful and suspenseful films , like they used to . The budget is usually big whereas the Korean filmmakers have a small budget but make superior movies .

This little gem is definitely worth a watch !
