    The Chaser is on Shudder if you want to see an extremely bleak, feel bad movie, one I'd rank up there with I Saw The Devil.

    I would suggest being careful with a few of these movies, some of them like I Saw The Devil, Inside, The Chaser, When Evil Lurks, Green Room are extremely violent and gory, so check out any content warnings you may need. Sometimes I like a movie with scenes of explicit violence and gore. Be warned.

    THE CHASER (2008): Still my favorite work of South Korean cinema. It’s the structure that does it for me. Na Hong-jin’s film presents as a stylish exercise in hustlers and killers, but as the clock counts down, all life slowly drains from the movie, until all that remains is cold and hollow.

    A good last four for films I had no idea existed, but definitely not for fulfilling watches. So instead I’m going to squee again that The Chaser (2008) was not just the best of my week, but is the absolute best detective vs serial killer movie I’ve ever seen. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

    #FFF movie 10 was The Chaser. Absolutely riveting, not a dull moment. I loved it, but here's your word of warning that it is grimdark in that Korean movie sort of way, iykyk. (Sidenote: Fascinating how there are only shit trailers for this movie. Well I guess it is just very of its time.)

    Well this was a good time… From the director of The Chaser? Of The Wailing? The Yellow Sea? It was kind of jarring seeing this totally blind. This feels like Na’s messiest film - like it needs tightening up all over the place - but… thats also what was so enjoyable about it. And the diarrhea story.

    Like I watched one film he cited directly as an influence, The Chaser (2008). And it's not "higher art" than Pulp Fiction or anything but you can see a lot of specific structural influence, seems clear he really gets something out of violent thrillers.

    Overjoyed to discover that Na Hong-Jin - the director of The Chaser, The Yellow Sea and The Wailing (all terrific) has another movie due for release in 2025. Initially I thought Hope was a short, following as it does the short Faith but this stars Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. Can’t wait.

    Watching the schism of opinions about HOPE from my co-workers has me super duper intrigued to watch it for myself. The only film of Na Hong-jin I've seen is The Chaser which I had very mixed feelings about in the first place (great movie, didn't work for me in places). Hmm... interesting. 🤨

  • The Movie Matt @themoviematt.bsky.socialBluesky · Sep 14, 2026

    I think there might be. Na Hong-jin certainly is a director who plays against tropes while often using them. The Chaser is a stone-cold CLASSIC, and it's a film where the cops-and-killer chase ends mid-film. It's brilliant. Here, it certainly feels like he is absolutely doubling down on it.
