Description

Ex-detective pimp Jung-ho has a big problem on his hands. His girls keep disappearing without clearing their debts. One night, he gets a call from a customer and sends Mi-jin, one of his girls still remaining, while ignoring her refusal due to her bad cold. But when Mi-jin meets the customer against her will, Jung-ho realizes the phone number of the customer matches that of the calls the missing girls got last. As something smells fishy, he searches for her. This taut thriller is brought to you by IFC Films. "One of the most intelligent, brutal, and just plain straightforward type of serial killer films to come along since the discovery and over-usage of the twist ending.... THE CHASER is the best film of its kind to come along since THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Fans of serial killer films owe it to themselves to seek out this Korean flick" -Aint It Cool. From IFC Films.

  • Thriller with a Killer

    I purchased a bunch of movies on iTunes, mainly looking for horror movies since that is my favorite genre. They listed this as horror but I would put it under thriller. The movie has a very good story line . I did not expect the one part in the movie. You'll have to watch it to find out what I mean.

    Based of the story of a real South Korean serial Killer, this movie is stunningly good. The amount of tension the director maintains throughout the entire film is astounding. For tension and suspense, tis film rivals "The SIlence of the Lambs" as one of the best serial killer movies.

  • One of the best movies ever

    I loved this movie as much as I hated it. Chaser is the only movie I have ever watched that actually affected my mood - I wanted the "good" guy to win and I wanted the girl to be okay and to be reunited with her daughter. The movie is far better for the choices it made than if it had just slapped some soppy feel good ending, but it still hurt my feelings.

  • Fantastic

    This murder thriller is over the top and could be a reflection of a serial killer on the street of any major city in the world. It reminded me of the serial killer in India that took over 100 boy’s lives and after dissolving their bodies in drums of acid, he dumped their remains in the local drain. He went on killing under the nose of the police because they did not follow up on the reports of the missing boys (CI channel). Murders like those in this movie could happen and that is what makes this movie so frightening. It is not just the killings that draw the viewer into the movie, but it is also the brutal way in which the killings take place that makes it so horrific. Get this movie!
