Key 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/

People seem to compare this movie to "Saw" or "Grudge' or something, which is seriously missing the point. It isn't a horror flick, but something much less and more.There are things about the direction that miss the mark, and the end is obvious (if still kind of shocking), but this story is about how people see themselves and trap each other. It's about two people who shut themselves off from the world and accidentally live next door-- very Existential, as the whole flick is. By focusing on and exaggerating our strangeness and how two people over the edge can complement each other, it is about sex on a much more intense and original level than any movie I have seen.More than its content, it is an amazing piece of stripped-down movie-making that I can only compare to Nolan's "Following" for simplicity and low-budgetness. I suggest my students see these two on that count alone: how to do something unforgettable on no budget.If you watch it for gore and twists, or FX, you'll waste your time. But for Zen-like imagination, it's hard to beat.

As a fan of Asian cinema I was happy when this movie came out on DVD. Although I did not know of this movie beforehand, its title and storyline sounded interesting to me so I decided to give it a try. I'm happy to say that while watching this movie I was both pleased and shocked at the same time and although the plot is not an original idea, the premise is new in a twisted sort of way. This is not your traditional hack and slash crazed maniac running through the woods "Im going to hunt you down and kill you" sort of horror movie, but I would still categorize it as horror, or maybe drama with a horror twist. Definitely worth your time if your into twisted Asian cinema. 10/10

This film is such a delight. This was the first Korean film I watched. The second one to follow was "Gojitmal" (Lies). If you've seen these two films then you would understand what I mean when I say "Korean cinema is Weird!". But ofcourse that changed after I continued watching other Korean films. But back to 301, 302: A very well written and directed film. Pay attention to the lighting and set decor as it really adds to the story. I enjoyed this film very much and it really helped me because I was trying to lose some weight around that time and after seeing this film I did not have to worry about my appetite anymore. I highly recommend seeing it. The director did another great film called "Push Push" which I also highly recommend.
