Quote from the original author of this article:

The acclaimed Korean filmmaker responsible for I saw the devil (unfortunately being remade for white America) has never topped his breakout film, one of the very few flicks to earn the overused 'slow-burn' moniker. A typical ghost story that gradually unfurls into something altogether unknown, Jee-woon’s film crawls at an astonishingly slow pace, which is how it can get up right behind you and tap you on the shoulder without your noticing. The camera ever-so-slowly creeps along, making its way to what we know is something horrible waiting just outside of the frame. Those without patience need not apply; everyone else, bring a date with a strong forearm, cause you’ll be grabbing for it a lot. (I watched this alone on a dark and stormy night while a little tipsy and at one point I got so freaked out I literally fell out of my chair. I had no forearm to grab, sadly.)
