The Witness (4½ Stars)
This is the 19th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.
This is a very exciting thriller, the best that South Korea has to offer. A married couple has moved into an apartment block. The husband comes home at 2 am after drinking with his friends. From his window he witnesses a man beating a woman to death with a hammer. The killer sees him, so he's too scared to speak to the police. That's a mistake. The killer doesn't want to take any chances, so he tries to kill the man and his family.
I spoke with other festival visitors, and everyone praised the film. It's a welcome contrast to the horror and sci-fi films that make up most of the festival.
