THE DOCTOR is a deeply average psycho-thriller from South Korea, clearly made on a tiny budget which takes away much of the enjoyment right from the outset. It's one of those films with half a dozen actors and a couple of locations and limited scripting which means long sections play out with little to no dialogue. The main character is a plastic surgeon who snaps one day when he discovers his wife having an affair with a gym coach. After a very long time he goes completely off the rails and begins torturing patients and butchering those around him. There are a few gory moments but for the most part I was thinking how much better Brian Yuzna's similar THE DENTIST is by comparison.
