Having him bite the head off a live Octopus is a bit wrong (especially as they did it to quite a few to get the tentacles to wriggle in the right way) … but it does look like an awesome film!

A Korean film, which I wouldn't exactly call a horror movie, but its one of the best I have seen for a long time. It's the story of a man who finds himself imprisioned with no explanation as to why, and the emotional (..not in a shit way) journey he goes through. Oh, and its fucked up as all hell.

Oldboy is the second in Chan-wook Parks famous revenge trilogy if you didnt already know.

I've seen all 3, Oldboy is my favourite though.

Theres: Sympathy for Mr.Vengeance, Oldboy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.

Check them all out, but if you only watch one of them then I do recommend Oldboy.

Ah awesome, no I didn't know that. Just found Oldboy by chance in the foreign section in my local dvd rental place.

Glad to be of service :)

Like I said, Oldboy is the best of the three in my opinion, but you should definately see them all.

What other asian flicks are you into?

But out of the 2 films, I think Oldboy is the best. I might change my mind if I can get my hand on Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance:D

You'll still think Oldboy is the best, but possibly that the first is better than the third.

Oldboy seems to be a lot more well known, and for that reason many people see that movie, and that movie alone of the three from the revenge trilogy.

I've just really entered Asian film recently - along with my developing appreciation for anime, manga and graphic novels in general - so I can't really experess much of an opinion as yet. Still figuring it all out, you know.

Ju'On terrified me, which really hasn't happened ever before. I loved it, and the remake was absolute rubbish. I hate how Hollywood films always need a hero.

Battle Royale is one of my favourite movies, but I wouldn't consider it a horror. Fantastic, though.

Well you're starting well :D

We can have a chat and I can recommend you some movies etc :)

[Danae]

Sounds great, PM sent.

[XtRaVa]

Recieved :)

oldboy is one of the best movies of the last few years. mr vengence i own as well but it was a bit of a let down , although still really good, just cause id put oldboy on such a pedestal. lady comes one region 1 in the next week or two i think and i will be picking that one up then. gotta have the tri-fecta
