VENGEANCE, THIRSTIt’d be easy to tag Park and his films as exploitative, what with their incest and tooth removal and graphic torture and unbelievably bloody vampires, were it not for the fact that he brings a similar zest and audacity to his form as he does his content.

With these innovations and many more, park seems as curious as his audience to see what comes next.See the full list HERE.
