Fabulously deceptive, deliciously dark

Park Chan-wook has pulled another delicious thriller out of the bag after his Vengeance Trilogy and Stoker. It is dark, filled with violence and sex, but the cinematography is decadent and the vivid colours spill out of the screen.

The story itself is filled with twists and turns, even tying your stomach in knots watching it. It's a question of who betrays who? Which of the characters are con artists?

I love the fact that there is a strong female presence in this film like Park's other stories. Absolutely gripping.

OK Sci-fi Thriller

One that nearly slipped under the radar at the time of release. Either due to the not so well known cast or budget. It does have some dark twists and throws up some questions on the subject of A.I. Worth checking out if that interests you.

Well written

Happens in Vermont!

VT author - wonderful thriller

Loved this book! I picked it up because there aren't that many Vermont authors that get very popular, but McMahon has definitely been getting popularity. I couldn't put this book down after I started reading it, and I couldn't read it in the dark alone! Definitely a good sign.
Give it a try!
