I have never watched Korean movie that disappointed me and this one was great...loved the fact there was a few comedic parts but still a serious thriller movie

The Chase isn't the greatest entry in South Korean cinema's serial-killer genre but it offers sufficient thrills, suspense, and dark humor to keep it an engaging affair. The first half towers over the second owing to its smooth transition between grisly murders and offhand comedy. The chemistry between the grumpy landlord and the ex-detective with memory issues was fantastic. The supporting cast, including the killer, also does well.

Director Hong-seon Kim tries to add one too many layers to the connected backstory of the detective and the killer but they don't add up to much, other than being well-shot. The end twist also doesn't blow your mind. I believe the director wanted to maintain a lighter tone even when the film dealt with a serious subject. It's safe to say that the efforts have paid off to an extent, if not fully.

Typically Korean, which is why I loved it. Abstract humour in moments of horror. Good story and fun to watch.

I haven't seen many Korean films but when this serial killer movie was showing on netflix, thought of watching. The acting by the lead actor (old guy as the landlord) is very good and supporting cast also does well. The suspense is maintained till the end.

If you want to see a decent thriller suspense movie, then this is a good watch.

Some of the same type of writing and ideas as other Korean thrillers I've seen, no that is not a bad thing. Great acting as well as character development.
