although the degeneration of events from bad to worse is made unbearably tense, Won also peppers his film with black humour, without ever abandoning his allegiance to social commentary.

It would have been fine but the acting is pretty over the top, making scenes almost laughable.

Top Critic For the most part A Bloody Aria has an adept way of muddying these themes for audiences expecting the usual gore-thirsty trip.

Top Critic It may seem an odd thing to say about a film in which a baseball bat as an instrument of assault and rape is a recurring theme, but what makes A Bloody Aria a darkly delightful surprise is its restraint.
01/11/08
Top Critic With so much pointless violence for the sake of violence and a terrible non-sensical ending, this film is a grueling and pointless exercise that never fully delivers on its premise.

If you always enjoyed Harold Pinter’s tense chamber dramas but wished the characters were better armed, A Bloody Aria is your ticket.

Half as amusing as that viral video of a sheep scaring its peeps while wearing a Halloween mask, A Bloody Aria is also less incisive.

Black comedy about upper-class Koreans being humiliated and worse by countryside thugs in a kind of homage to both Mozart and "Deliverance"!

Performers are convincing enough to keep audience involvement in a tale of revenge: victims become victimizers.
