I LOVE this director and I try to find anything he creates/directs. I saw this short so many times and shown it to friends. Everyone finds things to love about it: it's funny, it's extremely sensual in some parts, it's even touching. I love the way it's filmed, like an interview with people telling opinions, also a reconstruction of the events by actors, so funny the way the director show us this incredible story! A girl (what a wonderful young actress, so incredibly beautiful!) asks to her brother to film a confession... She is coming out, but you have to see this short to understand what is going on. Don't miss the tender, clumsy, funny girlfriend of the brother, she will be helping with the lights at the beginning, and then she will be involved - before for curiosity, and then almost more deep in the story. It's 40 minutes that fly by and make you wish for more. A little diamond from the amazing director Kim Ji Woon.

A great little well 45 min long film bundled with the Quiet Family DVD release. A lovely straight to video piece with some great camera shots; Ring style effects, great straight to video low budget blood effects and a good storyline and good acting.

South Korean vampire is the trademark of the film. The scene is a shot of a presumably psychologist or councilor interviewing the brother of a sister whom is a vampire. The plot contains a recording of the family video camera.

The psychologist discusses with the brother of the sister for a period before playing the tape. Now you are propelled into the core of the tape and the surrounding story. It starts in a family home where the shocked brother and sister find out that they have a vampire sister.

There is a debate about the subject. Is she a harmful vampire; why is she a vampire and so on. This includes a nice touch a of fast forward rarely seen in straight to video. The film then opens up as the vampire wants to tell her mum and dad that she is leaving.

The film then turns another corner as the family go out to the park to see the vampire in question "suck" on a victim for themselves. These subjects do not appear to die or turn into vampire themselves.

Then as the film ends she leaves to England. The last scene of the film is the vampire and her sister in a room spread out on a bed. Her sister wants her to suck her off without the scar being noticeable.

All in all a good straight to video vampire flick with some interesting camera shots. The transfer quality which I have is not that brilliant. The acting is of good standard and the direction is very good for a release of that budget. Cinematography is also awesome for something so limited. This shows another aspect to Kim Ji Woon's filming. Not only can he produce the glossy ala 'Tale Of Two Sisters' and 'A Bittersweet Life' but also the low budget straight to video end of film making too.

This film is a good example of the director being a bit more diverse. I am very impressed by the ability of Kim Ji Woon.
