The Butcher - Korean gory horror - trailer NYAFF 08

Trailer for the 2007 South Korean verite horror film THE BUTCHER, directed by Kim Jin-won. International premiere screenings at IFC Center on June 21st and 28th. http://subwaycinema.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=69&Itemid=80 The Korean film industry spent last year falling apart with one big, glossy production after another bombing at the box office. But this grotty mash-up of HOSTEL and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE was made completely off the map, shot on video far outside the studio system, by first-time director Kim Jin-Won, and in it he depicts the Korean film industry as a bunch of pigs and rapists shooting snuff films for foreign audiences. The comparison to Korea's OLDBOY-inspired cinema of violence is hard to miss. Barf bags will be provided. 75 minutes, in Korean with English subtitles.
