Korea's most terrifying thriller awaits
you.
A deep journey into the darkest corners of the human mind.
Thrillers are widely sought after because of their intricate depiction
of the human psyche within the backdrop of complex stories. As characters
in this genre must cope with mysterious events that unexpectedly
unfold before their eyes, these experiences absorb the audience
not as an observer, but rather as a participant.
In his past films, such as "Fingernail" and "The
Hole," Director Kim Sung-hong teams up with writer Yeo Hye-young
once again in "Say Yes," and achieves another success
story with the contributions of star actor, Park Joong-hoon. Combining
the expertise and talent of these veterans, they create a unique
thriller that has never existed in Korean cinema before ? "A
Hardgore Thriller."
"Say Yes" is different from past thrillers since it strays
away from contrived plots and typical confrontations between characters
found in this genre. The fear and hatred that lies deep in the human
psyche are naturally expressed through the film's lifelike characters,
realistic story and stunning visuals.
Production note2
An unexpected terror interrupts a happy moment.
Two people try to hold on to their love in the face of death.
What would you do if you ran into someone in the street who assaults
you for no reason? Or in the middle of an exciting road trip, you
coincidentally meet a stranger who asks for a ride and find out
later he's trying to commit a cruel murder on you?
As two people unexpectedly fall into a life and death situation,
"Say Yes" captures how the human mind can go to extremes.
A man who resorts to violence for no reason coincidently meets
a very powerless couple on a trip. At the face of cruel and unbearable
violence, they fall into a helpless state no mater how strong their
will is. At the spur of the moment, they must decide whether love
is an unconditional choice.
Considering this, "Say Yes" realistically exposes the
violence and madness trapped deep inside our mind, while candidly
bringing to light the true nature of human instincts and what really
lies beneath our society.
Production note3
Dynamic visuals that stretch throughout Korea's natural landscapes.
Unique locations that follow the actors' flow of emotions.
The way the serial killer tenaciously chases after the couple on
their trip is uniquely structured into a road movie.
Different from past thriller films, which were shot in the limited
space of a set, at least 80% of the film was shot on location around
the country, presenting a slew of unforgettable images.
What's more, in order to help the actors' flow of emotions to manifest
effectively, about 80% of the scenes were shot in order. By doing
this, it captured their psychological transformations, the key points
of the thriller genre.
