I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I love this movie so much

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is an ugly movie. The kind that makes you feel depressed and hopeless... but it's pretty good! In my opinion, this movie is actual, real horror. No ghosts, no 'creatures,' just broken humans; and that makes it all the more horrifying. Don't be fooled by the slow start, once it picks up, you won't be able to stop watching. It's disturbing, mildly gory, creepy, and the acting is great! The story-telling is great, the pacing is great, it's an overall good movie; and I guarantee you won't be able to forget about it for quite some time.

Sometimes you lose sometimes you win; but seems that these things are not under your own power or in your hands; always some one do a move then you automatically be pushed to be a winner or a loser. In this case, the relationships are very complicated more if you are the loser and keep all those bad feelings inside you for long time; then someday you need to let it escape somehow; problem is that if you are/were the loser and also the weaker; the escape (and the revenge) normally have a higher dose of violence than what you received.The actors are very well chosen for their roles. The camera work is on its pace with the scenes.The violence looks like a real violence and the psycho looks like that. Pretty good movie.

Straightforward. That's everything this movie is about. It doesn't hold back and couldn't care less if you puke at the sight of a brutal killing. Just when you thought you've seen enough, you're mistaken. The movie continues to astonish the viewers in so many ways. You can applaud at it for its brutality. Or applaud it for its guts. And it was successful.The runtime is not that long, and every moment was well-spent and utilized. If you can't stand extreme gore, then you might want to avoid this. But if you can, just for the sake of art appreciation, go watch this. This is a hidden gem I'm glad to have seen. Bonus point for the scene where the title is introduced. Its not done either at the start or end, but in the middle. Right after an erotic bed scene. With some captivating background music. That alone makes this movie great. Plus superb performance from Morita, who looks exactly like the stalker you fear, this movie will give you the creeps.

I really enjoyed this from beginning to end. It ranks among the best serial-killer thrillers in the past 5-10 years in my opinion. The greatest thing is that it initially plays like an innocent, albeit strange comedy/drama about two weirdos trying to get to a likable waitress. The serial-killer angle rears its head after the 40-minute mark and it is so well paced that you naturally accept the proceedings and just go with it.It kinda resembled Korean movies in its stylish execution of the thriller elements, without skipping on any gore during the killings. And it definitely gets brutal so be prepared. I won't spoil much but note that the movie doesn't leave out any quality drama either, not even during the climax which is emotional as much as it is hard hitting.If you like extreme Asian thrillers like I Saw the Devil or Killers, definitely check this out as well.
