--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.

In a school everything covered with blood and cruel hung in cross form appears the corpse of a girl.
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.
