TELL ME SOMETHING is one of those rare treats from Asia, as it has no creepy little girls with long black hair, or ghosts, or "rings", or anything like that - instead this film is a straight forward serial-killer horror/thriller, and a pretty damn good one at that...Body parts are turning up around Korea and the only thing linking them is a quiet young woman who used to date all of the victims. A cop who's being watched for possible misconduct is put on the case, and we slowly start learning more about the girl's life - including things about her father, her best friend, and her current boyfriend that casts rays of suspicion on herself and everyone around her...TELL ME SOMETHING is well-acted, well-directed and is an all around well-done film. A little gorier than your average American thriller (which is a plus...) but not an all-out bloodbath either. The strong story keeps you guessing, and the end has a decent little twist. Fans of SEVEN and the like will dig this one. 8.5/10

This film is quite interesting. Most of what I would like to say has already been said. It certainly isn't one of the best Korean movies I've seen.My main complaint is that the motivation of the murderer is never made clear. Perhaps this is my fault and I missed at the hints, but I kept on wondering why the murderer would kill these people and rip up their bodies. Still, it soon seemed quite obvious who the murderer would be (my wife guessed after about 20 minutes). And this was the largest problem with the film: the film is beautifully shot, well acted, well told, but you still can't work out the murderer's motivation or empathise with her.

really,closer to an 8/10. this movie was well-acted,skillfully shot,and attractive without having that disgustingly fake,over-polished look that everyone seems to use now. and it Does make sense,if referring to the progression of clues and false leads and how the movie ends. the things that were definite drawbacks and did Not make sense were more mundane; the cops have a very laissez-faire attitude towards their guns(and even More annoying,each time it's an obvious Portent Of Doom :P ),those dippy cops also missed a handful of important and somewhat obvious clues at first glance(even second and third glance). it's disheartening how many ppl apparently got lost in the 'mystery' part of this psychological thriller/murder-mystery. as long as you pay attention the whole way through,the whole set-up pans out rather well and i thought the effort put into Both the idea and the execution of it was admirable. not perfect,but being coerced into a little analysis-in-the-midst is always nice.

*Spoilers*After having viewed this movie, I don´t think it ranks with other recent Asien horror movies like "Audition" and "The Ring". It´s rather a b-movie which have been put together very quickly. For example, there´s a scene where the older cop pours coffee to his friend, and it´s obvious that he hardly hits the cup - so his friend wasn´t supposed to have any coffee anyway? Or maybe this was the best scene with a terrible actor? There are other similar flaws and logical impossibilities. Other than that I think it is very intelligent. More intelligent than Se7en probably although Se7en is a far better movie of course. The plot, however ridicolous and illogical in terms of human psychology challenges the viewer very much. A lot of thought must have been put into it. I just have a problem with the female killers. In other Asien horror movies like "The Ring" and "Uninvited" the female criminals have some kind of reason for the behaviour. In "Tell Me Something" people just kill because killing is "natural" apparently. Maybe the main character and all other persons in the movie were serial killers as well? It doesn´t seem to be abnormal in this movie.
