It all began with Art, my sister's boyfriend. He's into movies that almost no one has heard of, like Battle Royale. Yeah, that's another oriental movie, but this one's Japanese. It's a demented take on Lord of the Flies, I think. But anyhow. The point is, about a year and a half back, maybe two, Art brings over all these movies that I'd never heard of before. He had just gotten himself a new DVD player, and he wanted to try out how it worked on foreign films. I think he knew all along that it could play them really awesome (unlike some DVD players, that will only take english shit) and he just wanted to show off a little. Y'know: "Hey, I'm Art, and I got this really great DVD player that can play foreign DVD's and shit. AND I got it at a lower price than those supposedly high-tech ones too. Do I rule or what?" (Actually, Art never talks like that, but I like to pick on him. He does that to me too, y'know. It's just the way we get along. Nice, huh?)

So he hooks up his new foreign DVD-playin' thing to our TVCR and we dim the lights. He's never seen this movie before, he says, but a friend told him it was VERY creepy. I think we had bickered earlier or somethin', 'cause they invited me to watch the thing and I said no. I think I was in a sour mood for some reason, and didn't want to hang out with them. So my sis and Art watched in the living room eating pizza while I pretended to ignore them in the kitchen eating... sandwiches? I forgot. But whatever it was, it wasn't as good as pizza. The movie started and I could hear the Korean dialouge (it had english sub-titles). I must admit, I was DYING to watch, but I had too much pride, and I was NOT going to be the one to bow down to my sister's big-shot boyfriend. (Art's not really a big-shot, but that's what I was thinking at the time.) Still, I DID scoot my chair quietly over to the kitchen doorway where I could see the television set. I wasn't close enough to see the sub-titles, though. Damn it!

And the movie STILL gave me chills, though at first I couldn't understand SHIT of the plot. But I started getting wrapped up, and soon I was thinkin': "FUCK the dialouge, this shit rocks!" When my sis explained it all later to me, I tingled some more. Scary-ass shit, that movie.
