Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Superior film making out of South Korea
This film is one of the best films of 2009. It has a top-notch storyline from a well-known director, Chan-wook Park, with excellent acting from one of South Korea's best actors, Kang-ho Song. Song plays a priest that volunteers to undergo an experiment to try and garner a cure for a deadly disease. Instead, he almost dies and in the process, is given a blood transfusion. Somehow this transfusion turns him into a vampire. He finds himself craving, needing blood and this starts a slow descent into a private hell full of torment and guilt. He reconnects with a childhood sweetheart and his desire for her coupled with his feeling of damnation leads him to make some bad choices. These choices snowball and events in his life quickly unravel and become surreal. The story is filled with allegory, illusion, humor, action, drama and more. The moments of dark humor will take you by surprise-in a good way. The film maintained continuity in its excellence throughout. I do not think any viewer will leave this one disappointed.

Elliot (Mark Webber, SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD) is a bright but meek social services coordinator, drowning in debt and desperate because he's about to marry the love of his life (Rutina Wesley, HBO's TRUE BLOOD). Upon receiving a cryptic phone call informing him that he's on a hidden camera game show where he must execute 13 tasks, Elliot learns he will be on his way to winning a multimillion dollar cash prize if he quickly follows through with his first two instructions swat the fly that is currently bothering him and then eat the fly. Although thousands of dollars are suddenly appearing in his bank account, Elliot remains suspicious, though comforted by the knowledge that he can stop playing at any time if only to lose every penny that he's won. As he leaves a path of destruction behind him and runs away from the law (Ron Perlman, HELLBOY), Elliot's need to complete the game escalates as the tasks grow increasingly sinister, to a devastating point of no return.
