Good film, but it could have been better. I like suspense and I like watching a film in which the feeling of danger for the residents of some place is increasing. Generally in South Korean films, the killers are extremely merciless, so watching this film already having in mind what these films from that country are like, makes us apprehensive.

I didn't like the CGI in this film, because it's very unnecessary, and also the visions that some characters have during the work. I don't like it when they fill some nit-picking films. I also didn't like how slow some characters were to start acting against the villain.

THE NEIGHBOURS is another engaging murder mystery/crime thriller from South Korea, this time based on a popular web cartoon. As usual for this country, it's layered with social commentary like many others in this genre, looking at people's willingness to turn a blind eye to conflict in order to lead a quiet life. The film is quite unusual in that we don't get one lead but rather a small community of different characters, all of whom have very different and intriguing back stories. It takes a while to get going and is slow at times, and there are some annoying stylistic choices, like having one actress playing multiple roles. But it all comes together for a highly satisfying climax, and Ma Dong-seok shines in a star-making role.
