We have just teamed up with Metrodome Films in the UK to celebrate the February ‘09 DVD release of The Chaser. When it comes to Korean cinema – it doesn’t get much better that this.

Superbly written, fast paced and at times brutal as all hell – hit Korea Cop, serial killer thriller The Chaser is out on R2 DVD now. The film was an absolute box office (won best film, best director, and best cinematography at Koreas Grand Bell awards) smash in its home country and we’ve yet to read a bad word on the movie anywhere. Marking his directorial and screenwriting debut, helmer Na-Hong Jin apparently based his script on a real-life serial killer, who murdered more than twenty victims. Chasers stars Korean movie veteran Kim Yoon Seok (Tazza: The War of Flower) and Ha Jung Woo (Breath).

SYNOPSIS: Ex-detective-turned-pimp Jung-ho’s night is getting messy. Convinced his girls are running out on him, he sends one of his last remaining girls, Mi-jin, on a desperate last minute job. Too late, however, he makes a bone chilling discovery: this customer’s home is where all his missing girls were last sent. Fearing the worst, Jung-ho’s relentless pursuit of Mi-jin ends in a terrifying chase through the city streets after a car crash throws a blood spattered suspect into his path. Calling in old favours, Jung-ho is certain he has caught this ruthless killer. But despite a disturbing confession, the lack of evidence means this cold-hearted psychopath might soon be freed by the bureaucratic police force. If he is to find Mi-jin is still alive, Jung –ho, armed with few clues but filled with street-smart and savage determination, has just 12 hours to find the killer’s lair, before he is set free to end her life and continue his reign of terror.
