A Record of Sweet Murder (Koji Shiraishi, 2014) (JP-KR)
Posted: 26 Apr 2014, 12:23
A serial killer who escaped from mental institution invites a reporter to make a story of him.
Interesting sounding film by Koji Shiraishi (Noroi, Groteque), who specializes in POV/Fake Doc/Found Footage style films. In fact, he already did something a bit similar with Cho akunin, in which a serial rapist invites a reporter to make a story of him. This sounds almost like a bigger budgeted, more international and more horror/triller oriented version of the same premise. The film is a co-production between Nikkatsu and a Korean company, with most of the cast being Korean (including Kim Kkobbi, who has been in several Japanese films recently). Nikkatsu had another international co-production last year with Killers.
