Howling (2012): The Bite is Worse Than its Bark

The 2012 Korean action/thriller Howling proves that in a lot of cases, the bite is worse than its bark. A crime film about the underbelly

Thirst (2009): It's In the Blood

Thirst (2009) can easily claim to be in the blood. The tale of a clergic becoming a vampire is odd and at times unsettling.

Sweet Home Season 2
(2023 - Netflix 8 1:11 eps)

Of the 3 parts, this has the lowest MDL rating at 8.0 (generous). The apartment residents from S1 have moved to a stadium with new people & stories that don't tie together. Acting is still marvelous, the CGI even scarier, unnecessary gore, & stories that you hope are for S3 (otherwise, why?)

Still makes you wonder if humans are monsters, but no new revelations. With so many new characters & only 8 eps, the depth isn't there. Song Kang is only in a few eps. When we see him, an appreciation for how much he brings to the work as an actor is evident. As the story finally focuses on his character, we are drawn back in. Glad I persevered to see the last couple of eps, but I only held on in the middle in the hopes that S3 would be much better.

I'm not watching yet but #KimTaeRi is a Queen so I'll certainly be watching.
And Wendy and I are plodding our way through S2 of #SweetHome. It's SO dull until #SongKang is briefly onscreen. That man has such a presence!!
@cs
That scene was spectacular!! I've never seen anything else to compare.

Sweet Home - Season 1
(2020 - Netflix, 10 0:52 eps)

Another great action (with gore) horror series. It focuses on 1 apartment's inhabitants as some people become monsters. We see psychological struggles (child abuse, bullying, suicide) in the characters. The monsters, though mostly unique, seem to have a theme & can be funny in a dark way. The acting is superb & the cast worked well together.

At 1st we are introduced to many characters & deal with flashbacks, which can be confusing. Surprisingly, in 10 eps, we see a lot of char. dev. & feel something for these characters. With this star-studded cast, you never know who will survive the entire series, so dangerous situations are scary & intense. Questions about being human, compassion & empathy are brought up.

Cool. Currently watching S1. I'm sad that #SongKang is doing his military service right now since he's such a delight in all of his productions!

Finally started watching. Thrilled to see a whole new side of #SongKang
