This movie is more a intelligent thriller with some scary scenes. The story revolves around a former inmate at a Orphanage comes back to her roots and buys that property planning to convert into a place for special children. The trouble starts when her son starts conversing with a invisible friend who brings just more than trouble. The rest of the story is very suspenseful and will turn out to be a very good thriller (with more European Flair) with a few scary scenes. I am very impressed with the recent horror flicks from Spain. They are high on quality, acting and likability index.This movie is definitely for people looking at a alternate story telling for a horror/thriller flick with a spooky house. The characters play their part well and location of the Orphanage itself plays out like an other character in the movie.

I was lucky enough to check some discussion on Oldboy when many people were suggesting this movie is good. In fact its a lie, this is a masterpiece. I actually felt the local cop approach to being more comical, only after realizing it was a metaphor of the Korean Dictators who used similar approach to keep control of the people. The story based on a series of deaths at Gyunggi, in South Korea and the police department's individual handling the case. The initial supposedly random death becomes a thrilling game between the serial killer and the cops. The clues which they use to identify the misfortune involved in finding the result of each of the case is what really the core ideology of this masterpiece. The actors are uniformly brilliant , be it the chief investigator from the town, his mental sidekick, the inspector from Seoul and the chief. The various suspects add more mystery to the case than reveal it. The methods used for identifying the culprit are innovative and refreshing. I love the sound track, the classic ending and on the whole this special movie. If you love thrillers and don't have a problem reading subtitles then I can promise you will not be disappointed. For making a masterpiece this one gets 10/10.

The brutal expression of this complex plot is what makes this movie a masterpiece. Chan Wook Park's latest installment of his Revenge series is clearly a work of superior art. The real winner here are the makers of the movie, the direction, cinematography, music, actors , their performance is immense and simply brilliant. The plot is complex but revolves around the life of Oh Dae Su getting abducted and locked in a prison for 15 years for no reason whatsoever. Then one day just like 15 years earlier he is released for one reason, to find he was locked. The rest of the movie shows how he achieves this and what are the twist and turns to achieve the same. The people who he meets during this time are really the real bearers of this story and the uniform brilliance in acting really makes the whole time spent on the movie worthwhile. The movie is very stylish, very graphic with blood and gore, very touchy on some I think this masterpiece is not given enough recognition over other similar movies. I hope this movie is never remade in any language since the subtle brilliance will definitely be lost in translation. I heard a Indian Crap was made lifting the story from OldBoy but we can blindly ignore the movie knowing nothing will even come close to the real masterpiece. This is deservedly in the Top movies in IMDb and should stay there forever.

My rating 10/10 for giving me immense pleasure in viewing this masterpiece.
