A scene from the hammer scene in Oldboy
Audiences are obsessed with thrillers, and it's hard to blame them. It's a genre that can get anyone's heart pumping and adrenaline going, forcing them to sit in suspense at the edge of their seat as they wonder what could possibly happen next. The thriller confronts viewers with the complexities of the human psyche, as well as the darkest parts of human nature. Much more often than that, thrillers are a blast of fun.
Anthony Hopkins's beyond-chilling performance made Hannibal one of the most iconic characters in modern horror, and Jodie Foster offers the performance of a lifetime as protagonist Clarice Starling. The strange connection between Hannibal and Clarice gives The Silence of the Lambs most of its personality, and Clarice's desperate chase of Buffalo Bill provides some edge-of-your-seat suspense and plenty of terrifying moments.
Reminiscent of other cat-and-mouse true-crime films like David Fincher's Zodiac, Memories of Murder combines gripping mystery with Bong's signature pitch-black sense of humor. Its social commentary is sharp, and its visual style is alluring, cementing the director as a master of the genre. The atmosphere of evil and bleakness permeating the narrative becomes more powerful by the horrifying fact that, by the time the movie was released, the real killer hadn't been identified yet.

Oldboy is one of Letterboxd's favorite revenge films, thanks to Park's relentless direction and the script's complete willingness to dive as deeply as it can into the darkest pits of humanity. The action is creatively shot and frenetically edited, and the visceral narrative shows the chaotic and destructive power of revenge in all its least glamorous splendor.
