Black House

A horror movie that will make you think twice about appearances and crime.
"
During his first day as an insurance investigator, Jeon Joon-oh, receives a phone call from a lady enquiring if a life insurance policy could be collected if someone commits suicide. A few days later Joon-oh is asked to personally come to the home of an insurance policy holder.
When Joon-oh arrives at their home he is greeted by a grim man. They talk for a little while, before the father asks the insurance agent to go into their son’s room and have a talk with him. When the insurance agent opens the son’s door he finds the boy hanging from a noose, dead from an apparent suicide.
The father then shows up Joon-oh’s office and asks for the money pertaining to his son’s life insurance policy. Joon-oh is suspicious of the man and tells him he has to wait until the coroner’s report comes in. The man becomes furious and then leaves. The father returns the next day and the next day and the next day. Finally Joon-oh’s boss decides to pay the man his son’s life insurance policy. Joon-oh’s life doesn’t return to normal and in fact descends further downward because of a stalker that may well be the insurance policy holder that they just paid off."



Jeon Jooh-oh is a old fashioned good man who believes in finding the truth behind the matters. But he decides to use his eyes to determine who is guilty instead of using his brain. When he finally manages to think things through his whole world changes. The Father is a man who acts quite crazily which would cause everyone to stay away from him but that isn't what Jeon Jooh-oh does. The two clash that will end with both of their lives changed forever.

Jeong Jooh-oh (Hwang Jung-min) is a very good insurance salesman who is quite good at being a detective that you would think he would rather be a police officer. Instead he changes to handle insurance claims but that doesn't make him a pushover. Jeong will do anything he can to solve a case even if he has to bend the rules.

The Wife of the "Father", she plays quite a good submissive living in a very rundown place with little money and a crazy husband. We don't see her until the latter part of the beginning of the movie. She is a very important character that will change Jeong's life forever.



Hwang Jung Min is a stellar actor who plays different characters and is quite good at all of them. He is my top 5th favorite actor in the while world. His acting is quite "real" in a way, he is a truly a remarkable actor.

Yoo Sun is such a pretty and a talented actress that just doesn't do enough work. In this film she plays a character that you think she is naturally good at. She truly was good in this film and I hope to catch her other movies.
The movie suffers due to some of the minor actors and the script could use some

It's not the best horror movie but it is a decent thriller that might have you on the edge on your seat wishing for more.
