This directorial debut by Oh-seung Kwon, who also wrote the screenplay, builds up the suspense excellently. The cat and mouse story about a killer and his target gradually pulls you to the edge of your seat. The deafness of the protagonist (and her mother) is cleverly used to color the tension even more dramatically. Exciting.

Intense and exciting cat-and-mouse thriller about a deaf and dumb girl who is stalked by a vicious serial killer... Paper thin. The film has to rely on a series of tense situations that grab you by the scruff of the neck ... A limited number of actors, many thorny dead-end situations that make the characters feel ugly trapped and for a constant atmosphere of menace and cause danger to life. The Koreans know how to entertain an audience. To say I was on the edge of my seat is an understatement. I loved it.

Nice thriller. The story is simple and straightforward with no surprises. The effect is not bad. The build-up is short and soon the cat-and-mouse game begins. This results in a number of exciting scenes. Unfortunately, it takes a bit on the long side, which makes it a bit boring and predictable at a certain point. Other than that, the acting is decent. Great snack. 3.0/3.5
