I watched The Chaser, a good Korean serial killer movie streaming on Netflix. I might not quite classify it as horror, but it certainly is bloody and brutal enough. An unusual story based on a actual Korean serial killer who was caught in 2004, and who wasn't caught by the cops but by a pimp who was tracking down his disappearing girls. Like many other Korean movies the tone shifts from comic to horror to tragedy to social commentary and so on. Korean movies seem to be dramatically sprawling in a way nobody else's movies are. I used to think their movies were just unfocused, but now I think it might be because they are taking a broader view of characterization. It's growing on me because many of these movies are entertaining as hell. Anyway I can easily recommend The Chaser as a unique and entertaining serial killer movie, it breaks away from so many of the genre cliches and has some terrific performances in it. It has a well paced plot with an involving story, and it is easy to watch, so give it a chance. If you liked Memories of Murder and I Saw the Devil, you will like The Chaser.
