--Our Town (2007)--

Film of psychological terror, directed by the Korean Jung Kil-Young, being this one his debut like director.

A good mixture of sorts, such as the thriller, mystery, horror or drama.

One is already the fourth murder in a small and calm Korean city, where to all the victims they have cut the neck to them.


The plot of Our Town will turn around a detective of the police, call Jae Shin, a mysterious writer of mystery (which seems to be connected with the bloody crimes), call Kyung Joo and the employee of a store.

Making use of the narrow bond between the three men, the film becomes more attractive for the spectator because it separates from thematic the habitual one of the typical police that persecutes the assassin. In addition a strange connection among them exists that already comes from years back.

Many submerged unpredictable turns in this disquieting film.

--Gilles de Rais, depraved vampire--

“I liked to see run the blood, provided a great pleasure to me. Memory that from my childhood the greatest pleasures seemed to me terrible. That is to say, the Apocalypse was the unique thing that interested to me. I believed in hell before being able to believe in the sky. One gets tired and bores of the ordinary. I began killing because he was boring and I continued doing it because I liked to relieve my energies. In the battlefield the man never disobeys and the blood Earth everything soaked is like an immense altar in which everything what has life immolates interminably, until the same death of the death in himself. The death became my divinity, my sacred and absolute beauty. I have been living with the death since I realized of which it could breathe. My game par excellence is to imagine to me dead and nibbled by the worms”. Text said by Guilles de Rais in Nantes, when it had been arrested.
