Even more scary than I thought!

Rating: Null/10 (18 August 2008)

I remember when I saw this movie for the first time, and I thought the idea of a man being locked away for 15 years without being found, to be a little too incredible after all. After learning about the Kampusch-case of Austria I just realized that it was all too possible. It made me think even more clear when I re-watched OLDBOY, about how scary and unnervingly nasty a movie it is! No one deserves what these characters goes through.
But it is a very masterful movie too. The director makes the very fine achievement to make us care for the prisoner, who is a really amoral jerk before he is kidnapped. But he gain quite a lot humanity while being in the abnormal imprisonment. It is not as well done as MR VENGEANCE though! The villain in OLDBOY is a sick bastard beyond comprehension, and he for one sort of deserve an ill faith.
