Let's be realistic.
... View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
... View MoreKey to this movie is it's being a very unique watch. There isn't any other movie like "301, 302", which already makes this movie an original and unique one. It's also however a very good movie, that works out effective, despite of its unusual approach.I can't really see how people can see this movie as an horror, thriller or mystery. To me, this movie above all things was a drama, due to its characters that are in it. Their stories and the way they progress throughout this movie really made me see this as a drama and was what also sucked me into the movie and story as a whole.It also obviously helps that this movie is a very well put together one, when it comes down to its directing. It has some very good and unique storytelling, that lets the story come across as 'weird' but makes the movie involving to watch nevertheless. It's also visually a very attractive movie, in which food plays a very central role. The movie remains above all things a very visual orientated one, which in return also really strengthens the movie its atmosphere and story.Perhaps this movie is being a bit too unusual for the mainstream audience but then again this movie is also obviously not aimed toward them. You could consider this an art-house movie but don't let that label immediately scare you off from ever seeing this movie. It remains a pretty much accessible one throughout and basically everybody should be able to appreciate the movie its visual and unique and effective approach of its story.8/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
... View MoreI agree with the last reviewer, "what is everyone talking about". I love Korean films specifically, and that is because I'm not a big horror fan and Korean films tend to be dramatic romance films with great twists that probably get voted out of U.S. films during screening audiences. EVery good US film in the past few years has already been made 1st in Korea, even the horrible Keanu flick The Lake House, that was made twice in Korea in the early 2000's and thankfully, without Keanu. This movie was long and boring and after the 1st few minutes you know the neighbor ate 301. What I was looking for on here was something about the ending because I almost thought the director was suggesting a lil' more in the last few frames. 301 is eating the last meal, turns to look at the frozen head of 302, 302 is now a ghost image watching 301 sleep, film ends. Another reviewer above stated "why is 301 looking like 302 at the end" and that's where the ending throws me off. It's suggested in 1 of the flasbacks that 301 was forced to prepare a lil' girl for consumption by her gleeful stepdad at the thought of his being able to eat the young lost girl. A better ending the original ending started me thinking about was that actually 302 ate 301, then moved into her apartment as she was wishing she could just disappear the whole film. I'm confused by what I think the director was trying to say in the last few frames, thoughts?
... View MoreI've seen better horror films than this (and trust me, I haven't seen many of them). This movie is like an Asian version of "The Green Butchers," a Danish horror flick. It's a cross between "Psycho" and "The Little Shop of Horrors." It's also really gross.A divorced gourmet chef moves in to an apartment #301 and for some reason, can't understand why her neighbor, in apt. #302, won't eat and won't experience the pleasures of sex. This is a dark comedy with an extremely grim.Let's put it this way. I never want to see this film again. My mom told me to see it since she thought it was good. This is the last time I take my mom's word on foreign cinema (which she really dislikes for the most part).
... View MoreI rented this film hoping for a Korean film similar to "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman". What a shock. I have enjoyed Asian cinema for years. I spent a year in Korea. I was not prepared.But I did watch it twice. Hmmmmmm.
