NIGHT FILM MARATHON: THE NIGHT OF THRILLERS

OLDBOY (2013)

Watchable. The memorable teeth pulling scene is gone in the American version which makes the film just a little bit less violent. Or maybe it's just me who's become desentisized as the younger part of the audience seemed as shocked and disturbed as I was watching the Korean original 10 years ago. On the whole it is really good, even if not groundbreaking for me, in fact nowadays some brawls seemed like too long and just too much.

PRISONERS

Recommended. A perfect thriller.

STOKER

Watchable. Too fantastical for a thriller but with a gripping plot anyway.

SIDE EFFECTS

Recommended. An excellent, full of twists of action, story of deception.
