Warning, spoiler – the title is ironic, because Jae-pil and Sang-goo are anything but handsome. When they move into their dream house in the middle of nowhere, they immediately attract the attention of the local police. And when they happen to rescue Mi-na, who’s drowning in a nearby lake, they find themselves caught up in a situation that spirals rapidly and completely out of their control. Their new home soon fills with uninvited guests, some of them straight from hell, and the blood begins to flow freely…
At a time when Korean cinema is going through a crisis, it’s rare to find a truly good mainstream genre film. “Handsome Guys” comes to the rescue, offering a perfect mix of humour, violence, and horror.
HANDSOME GUYS, dir. Nam Dong-hyup, South Korea 2024, 101’
subtitles: Polish and English
