At the risk of it getting political in here, Trump had this to say about it:

Nobody here raving about it. Must be lousy.

It’s $5.99 to rent on Amazon Prime. $19.99 to buy. Watched the trailer. It already won best international film. Seemed like it was to be PC. Better than The Joker?! I highly doubt some Korean horror movie was better.

it has subtitles, so I imagine more than half the folks here won't watch it.

Certain movies, subtitles aren’t that distracting but horror movies, eh. “Boo!” I don’t know. I just saw a Swedish horror film. It takes you out of it to look down at key moments.

I think it is more of a thriller than a horror movie. Wiki has it listed as a "black comedy thriller"

it isn't a jump scare kind of movie, from what I can tell.

also, the point of the movie isn't to scare you.

I haven't seen it yet, but does it portray Asians as realistically as 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's?

I saw it... Liked it a lot... But did not like the ending much... thought the climax was great. But then there was another 20 minutes or so of aftermath... wish they cut that out... or at least shortened it...

The trailers look great.

the movie looks really good, to be honest. I will likely see it.

I have liked a number of Bong Joon-ho's other movies so I look forward to seeing this one. It looks good to me.

It's pretty good. It starts out a little slow but once you see where its going, it really picks up and you get into it. Then it hits you with a solid twist midway thru. But like Milk said above, the ending is a tad bit weak. Just a tad, its still a solid film. It's also really well made. Some beautiful shots and the direction builds tension from simple actions that most films couldn't pull of.

It’s very good. Solid social commentary without being hammy or pandering. Well acted and directed. Compelling.

I mean they show trailer 1, 2 & 3. Kinda feel like I’ve already seen it.
