Target

An enjoyable Korean Thriller that will not blow you away, but won’t offend you, either. The story focuses on a girl who buys a washing machine through an online second hand shop, only to come across a scammer, whom she humiliates in an online review. Of course, he doesn't like it and decides to make her life hell. As well as being a scammer, he is also a hacker and a serial killer who lures his victims through the online marketplace. Definitely a bit of a different perspective, the psychological terror works well, the protagonist gets a pretty decent beating, the tension is nicely built up in places, and the craftsmanship is also very fine. However, it's a bit disappointing that it's so ordinary for my taste. The body-count is low, the violence is scarce and we don't get any major twists either, which are the deciding factors for a higher rating for me. But those who can stomach these thrillers with a madman at their heels will certainly not go wrong. 6/10. (24/12/2023)
