The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Pieta (2013)

Starring: Min-soo Jo, Jung-Jin Lee
Director: Ki-duk Kim

Premise:
A loan shark is forced to rethink his life when a woman who claims to be the mother who abandoned him thirty years ago reappears.

My Take:
Ki-duk Kim is a master of creating films full of disturbing psychological human drama. No different here as a violent young man is forced to deal with a mysterious woman who has her own agenda.

Rating: So Good
