Watched all ten episodes of Korea's Strangers from Hell on Netflix.  Based on an animation series no less terrifying even when viewed with human faces, it is slow and suspenseful, but especially creepy for single men. Come to think of it, only single men will find this series fascinating. The story is told from the point of view of Jong-u, a young writer, and is done in cinematic postmodernism. Most scenes are edited in such a way that two or three apparently parallel events are happening at the same time. The music track is chilling. And the camerawork is subtle but exceedingly clever. 

The dentist, Mung-jo, in this series is the man who played the red fox in _Tale of the Nine-Tailed_.

Very dark, frequently protracted. Every succeeding episode becomes more and more macabre, leading to a well-composed, balletic climax. Very sadistic within the self and toward men in a way that only men will understand. The male viewer will find himself identifying with Jong-u and Mung-jo at the same time, and will be haunted by this series long after Halloween is over. It's an other-men-will-grab-your-balls-and-break-them movie. Its subliminal messages to the viewer are:

--Other men, especially strangers, will bring out the worst in you.

--Salvation for men is not possible even in a world that has women who understand the innermost darkness of men.

--The scum of the earth is not comprised of the useless. It is comprised of the wicked.
