Chilling, suspenseful and difficult to turn away for the entire duration. Great film.
Another unique, fantastic Korean thriller. This is a very long, creepy and sinister film - about 2 and a half hours. But it is never boring. And it is worth the payoff. The plot - a strange man who has repented from his sins seems to attract the village locals who fund him for his teachings. A police officer is influenced by a local priest who is jealous that all his donations are going to this strange man. But after a strange twist, the police officer is convinced that the strange man is the genuine article he seems to be. But after the man passes away under mysterious circumstances, his loser son is notified about the man's death. And while attending to his father's affairs, he can't help but notice that the village elders can't wait to try to push him out and back to the city as quickly as possible. But the son decides to stay on and continues to discover the strange workings of the town and his father's past... Riveting. Great acting. Very tense. Not a horror film but certainly chilling in every way, including the human interest side. They don't make them like this in Hollywood.

Atmospheric, claustrophobic Korean thriller with a surprise ending worth getting to (more like 3-1/2 stars)
In this South Korean mystery thriller, a young Korean man receives a call that his father - leader of a small village whom he'd become estranged from years ago - has died. Visiting the village, the son quickly becomes aware that not only do mysterious circumstances surround his father's death ... but that the quirky and somewhat menacing villagers in no way want him to stick around anywhere long enough to discover the truth. A long film (over 2-1/2 hours), with some nice twists and turns, and although never truly scary the atmosphere is creepy and sinister up until the end (where one final surprise awaits, literally within the last few seconds of the film). Nicely done!

A little crippy. Not horror. Several long time familiar faces actors. Unique story. Not bad. I like how it ended

Amazing movie, amazing release with interesting extra
Im very happy to buy this dvd in this double dvd release. The movie is really great and long, the extra are very interesting and i was really surprise about who the director choose the cast and style of the character. The quality of both the dvd is perfect clear and with no scratch. Audio is perfect with a clear sound. No problem to pay 30$ for a good item. In future i hope to see this movie released in collector's edition with Arrow or Eureka or another great company on blu ray

A Dark and Immersive Mystery-Thriller
Moss is a mystery/thriller from South Korea. A young man is called into a small village to settle the estate of his dead father. He gets suspicious of the villagers as they quickly and anxiously try to push him to leave as soon as possible. When he decides to stay, he uncovers the dark truth...Although it is a very long film (over 2hr and 40 min), it kept me entertained and captivated through its immersive dialogue. I don't watch mystery films often, but this one kept me guessing until the end. It's not a complete mystery film though, it also has some dreadful suspense and thrills; he's often snooping around and you can't help but grip your seat or clench your fist as you fear for his safety. I really liked the way the film moves forward as he moves deeper and deeper into the mystery; the main villain has several henchmen and they help push the movie forward with some thrills/action. You really wonder: who killed his father? (whodunit?) Also, the whole mystery is effectively complimented by the atmospheric village setting. And the twist ending might even throw you off. It's a beautifully shot film, great direction, amazing acting (Jeong Jae-yeong did a great job as the evil village leader), and I enjoyed the music. Just remember, this film works mostly off its dialogue so be prepared since its very long.Overall, I highly recommend Moss. It's a long film, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. South Korea delivers a dark, twisted thriller-mystery once again; I look forward to finding more of these gems. As of 8/9/12, Moss is available on Netflix Streaming, but a purchase is also highly recommend.Moss has blood and violence, and sex.

This is a great movie
No spoilers here. Just watch this. You won't be disappointed. One of my favorite Korean actors Jae-yeong Jeong stars in this. I have seen many of his movies and this one is well worth the time.

Humour and terror
The gentle humour of the back story, of male friendship weathering betrayal, brings this frightening, twisting plot to a satisfying resolution. I loved the way Yoo-Sun's grace and poise allowed a female protagonist to emerge triumphant. The new generation of film-makers would do well to learn from this film and its unconventional, strong characterization.
