MY Vote - 7.5/10.

This movie is bit creepy but at the same time suspenseful. The movie started with a phone call about Seong-so's brother who has been missing for few days. To find out what happend to him, he goes to his brother's apartment where he finds a lady blubbering wrong things about his brother and absolutely no one wants to talk about him .

What really did his brother? Why has he been missing?

Then he started living in that room for while and attacked by someone. Later, he finds a secret passage through his room to a next door neighbour room and a dead body. So, the question arises, What he is up to? Why the lady is so afraid of him?

Don't read if you haven't watched it yet, Spoilers, I really love the concept but some points I really can't ignore, how a lady can be so strong enough to fight and run so fast while at some point she was shown so fragile and if she is the killer why the secret passage is in Seong-So's brother room. The main thing and the most funniest thing ;really! Corpse doesn't decompose in this movie. She is been hiding those corpse for long time, of course, not in a and freezer but still no smell is coming out at all.

Korean writer/director Jung Huh made this fascinating film in 2013 to great critical acclaim. It is a well-sculpted movie and surprisingly is more understated than the usual fare from these films.

Seong-soo (Heyeon-ju Son)), a successful businessman who lives with the perfect family in a luxury apartment, has secrets and mysophobia (pathological fear of contamination and germs) about his one and only brother. One day, he goes to see his brother after a phone call about him being missing and sees weird symbols all over the house and he meets Joo-hee (Jung-Hee Moon) who knows his brother. "Please tell him to stop looking at my daughter. Joo-hee lives alone with her daughter but lives in fear of someone watching them. Seong-soo looks around carefully at the old apartment and realizes the symbols mean gender and numbers of people. Seong-soo returns to his home from his brother's and notices a familiar symbol written next to the doorbell of his house, too. And the mystery thriller sails to a strange conclusion.

In Korean with English subtitles, this is a bizarre little jewel of a film, well worth watching.
