All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

"Sang-hyeon" (Kang-ho Song) is a priest who has seen firsthand the suffering of the sick and dying and wants to do something about it. So he volunteers to undergo an experiment in which a deadly virus is injected into him along with a possible cure for it. Several weeks later he falls violently ill and is given blood transfusions in a desperate attempt to keep him alive. He dies but not long afterward comes back to life with the disease apparently in remission. Not only that but it appears that his prayers are also able to heal others who are seriously sick as well. But then things begin to change. Now rather than reveal any more of the movie I will just say that I thought it started off brilliantly. Unfortunately, about half way through it took a radically different turn which was quite bizarre and ridiculous. In short, it left me very disappointed because it definitely had potential. Accordingly, I have to rate this movie as only average.

I came across this flick at a convention being sold as the new flick from director Park Chun- wook. Does it ring a bell, Oldboy (2003). So we do know that he is famous for ultra-violent flicks but let me tell you that this one here isn't violent at all, to be honest, I can even say that many will turn this off because it goes rather slow.But if you sit though 2 hours and 32 minutes as I did then you will slowly be moved from a love movie into a vampire flick. Taking his time that's exactly what the director did. We first do meet the priest who's infected with some disease and from there on is being cured by becoming a vampire. But he's not only a vampire but he also falls in love with a girl who takes away his virginity and becomes a vampire too. Together they have fun until the fun becomes an addiction.There's red stuff here and there and the effects used are really well done and are sometimes on the edge of gore but it's the length and slowness of this flick that will play parts with the viewers. Being released at the time Twilight was big this surely has a bit of the same but done in Asian style and much better of course. And if you can see through it all you will have a smile now and then...Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0,5/5

(I'm not from South Korea so maybe that's why I didn't like this film that much) This film was weird. The scenes between the characters was weird. The sexual scenes were particularly weird. However, throughout the film I was never bored. In a strange way I wanted to keep on watching the film despite it not being that good.It wasn't really a good film. It didn't really make any real sense. It was an extremely weird film to watch. I felt no connection towards any of the characters and some scenes were confusing.Overall, I wouldn't recommend this film. It was somewhat boring but once you started watching it you want to keep on watching it because it's so weird.

I felt that this movie was weird weird weird, and that's no easy statement especially when the movie in question is directed by the guy who did Oldboy, Lady Vengeance etc. This has got to be one of the strangest movies I've seen in a long time. I know that vampire movies inherently have a strange streak through them, but in this case - in my opinion - was detrimental to the movie as a whole. We get what we've come to expect from the director: dark, moody sets; humour as black as tar; quirky characters all playing to a baroque-style strings accompaniment, with a healthy splash of the old vermilion. A vampire movie should be prime Park material, but I think he seems to have over-indulged himself a little bit here - the movie was just way too long for its own good, and nothing much really happens for the first 3/4 of the movie, and then all the necessary action just seems to be crammed into the last 1/4. I was really looking forward to watching this for a long time, but truth be told, i was slightly disappointed - feels too much like a perfect opportunity was missed.
