Director Jeong-woo Park may not have an extensive bio, but he did a styling job with this environmental disaster film. The film provides a very in-depth explanation for the epidemic caused by horsehair worms, making it very believable. It was fast-paced and exciting with literally never a dull moment as the epidemic soon causes complete pandemonium. Towards the end, it is fantastic how everything goes wrong all at once and the characters become desperate, especially when a cure is announced and all hell breaks loose as they try to get their hands on the cure. The film became more intriguing as the truth unfolds as to how and why the epidemic started. This was incredible.

As we can see Korea now try to wider their genre instead of just popular with their gangster-gore-cop movie as always. They had try courtroom, sport, war, social problem and many things so now they come up with ''Deranged'', their first pandemic movie maybe.

Maybe everyone will remember about ''Contagion'', yes they are the same genre but this is Korea, so they are totally different movie because all korean fans know what West don't have in their movie, only in Korea.

Distressful, thrilling, suspenseful, dramatic, thats what we need in the movie and Deranged have it all. Maybe it have a predictable solution but its so exciting and very worth watching. Especially for the ''race against time'' scene! Good try fella!

In light and view of the Corona pandemic this was re-released (or released for the first time?) ... makes sense in a way but also doesn't. Because this is not even remotely comparable to the Covid insanity that went around the world. But you know, pandemic is pandemic, right? Well I'd say no, but let's leave it at that.

Also just enjoy this for the romp and hollywood style (with overdramatic plot points) take that it is ... cliche and predictability go hand in hand ... but the actors give it their all and the CGI works mostly (though for some it may be not even remotely convincing) ... the evil here is crazy though ... and I guess not as far fetched from reality as one may hope it would be ...

They did a pretty good job on making this epidemic disaster movie. The movie does a pretty good job on using Nematomorpha that infect people causing them to die from drowning in water. It really shows how dangerous these parasites are in the movie by how it cause a lot of deaths in a city and random bodies showing up in body of waters. The movie itself is suspenseful and thrilling with the characters trying to figured out how to cure people and heal them back up. There's one medicine that work and the main character try to find it for his family. Unfortunately it gets pretty tedious with the medicine keep getting destroyed by current characters in the movie. But I do like the climax of the movie on how it was resolve.
