The Quiet Family (South Korea, 1998)

A humble family decides to buy a lodge in a remote hiking area. When they finally gets a customer, he ends up committing suicide, and the distraught family buries his body to avoid the bad publicity. But their luck gets worse, more customers ends up dying, and the family becomes desperate to save the situation.

The Quiet Family is director Kim Ji-woon's (I Saw the Devil, A Bittersweet Life) feature film debut and by far one of the funniest movies I've ever seen; pure 'black comedy' gold. People dies left and right, and it's downright hilarious. It also features pre-stardom Choi Min-sik (Oldboy) and Song Kang-ho (Memories of Murder) as two brothers who just can't get a break.

Everyone needs to see this one. Now!



Genre: Comedy/Crime. 1h 38min.
