"It's a movie that you feel you're not so much watching on screen as having beamed directly into your skull from some malign, alien planet of horror." — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"Given its highly stylish presentation, the unfolding mystery, several notable sequences, and a tremendous all-in lead performance from Choi Min-sik, it’s easy to see why the film has stood the test of time." — Aaron Neuwirth, We Live Entertainment
"Both brutal and lyrical, writer-director Park Chan-wook's existential nail-biter has torture scenes that will have you avoiding dentists, sushi bars and badly appointed hotel rooms." — Jami Bernard, New York Daily News
