Home invasion thrillers have given us plenty of maniacal villains hellbent on terrorizing helpless residents of cavernous houses. Whether they’re driven by dementia or greed (or both), these villains pillage, plunder, and leave the scene a bloodbath.
Rarely are they provoked by a former homeowner’s mundane desire to still occupy the residence, as it is for Dennis Quaid’s vein-popping Charlie Peck in director Deon Taylor’s “The Intruder.”
In director Jung Huh’s 2013 film, “Hide and Seek,” the unhinged former renter (Mi-seon Jeon) is at least driven to madness due to a visceral combination of grief and poverty. But Charlie is nothing more than a man who’s mad that he lost his money after a few bad business deals and had to give up his gigantic Napa Valley home to a successful young married couple: Annie and Scott Russell. Charlie gets a huge windfall after they buy his home,...

*full disclosure: a DVD screener of this film was provided by Ram Releasing. Director/writer: Jung Huh. Cast: Mi-seon Jeon, Jung-Hee Moon and Hyeon-ju Son. Hide and Seek is a Korean horror and thriller film from director Jung Huh. This film is more than just these two genres, though. It is also a mystery. A motorcycle helmet wearing killer is making a poor neighbour, in a run down apartment block. But, this film is not a simple slasher. Instead, Hide and Seek blends a couple of plotlines together in an intriguing fashion. Hide and Seek is one of the best Asian films this reviewer has seen in quite awhile. The film begins with a sideplot. A woman is tracked and attacked in an early scene. Then, the film begins a second, more central plot. Seong-soo (Hyeon-ju Son) is searching for his brother, who has recently gone missing. A friendly neighbour...

The South Korean thriller Hide and Seek became the seventh local film to reach the 5 million admissions mark last year in its homeland. Now it's on its way Stateside, and we have an exclusive clip for you cats right here to help you get through your Friday.
The flick drew in an impressive 1 million admissions in its first 64 hours alone in Korea, despite being backed by a smaller distributor and lacking big name talent. In 2013 Korean films accounted for more than half of the box office admissions in the country, continuing the hot streak that began the previous year, when the 100 millionth ticket sale was recorded for the first time ever in a single year.
Hide and Seek joins films like The Terror Live and Snowpiercer in the prestigious 5 million admissions category.
