The CinePearl Take
Yeon Sang‑ho’s direction keeps the pace relentless, never allowing a breath between scares while still carving out moments of emotional depth. Gong Yoo delivers a grounded, every‑man hero whose desperation feels palpable, and Ma Dong‑seok’s larger‑than‑life brawler turns into a surprisingly tender protector. The film’s commentary on social inequality rides the horror wave without sacrificing the edge‑of‑your‑seat thrills.
