Day 221 - Hide and Seek (Korean)

Hide and Seek (2013) poster.jpg

"
Sung-soo is a successful businessman who lives with his wife Min-ji and their children in a luxury apartment. Life is mostly good, except for an older brother from whom he's estranged.
One day, Sung-soo receives a phone call that his brother is missing and goes to his brother's apartment building for the first time in decades to look for him. There, he finds strange symbols carved into every door and meets Joo-hee and her young daughter. Joo-hee is convinced that someone is spying on them and lives in constant fear.
Sung-soo figures out that the symbols carved onto the doors are "hide and seek codes" that indicate gender and number of people. Then when he returns home, he finds similar symbols carved into his door."

Not bad but could have been much better if they went in another direction. The direction the plot took was average and caused there to be a few matters that could have been taken out of the film. No problems are really fixed in the movie, they are overlooked. I enjoyed the lead actor though, it is the first time I've seen him as a lead and hope its not the last. I suggest this film to those that like spaced out mystery films

1/5
