Anti-Gas Skin (2010)
A fresco mixing the satirical, the surreal and the fantastical to portray the social and political evils of today’s Korea. A gas mask-wearing serial killer is spreading terror. Four people are on his tail on election day: Miju – a wolf-girl who leads a sect of youths who are planning their mass suicide, Bosik – a traffic cop who’s convinced he is a super hero, Patrick – a US Marine on the brink of madness following the serial killer’s murder of his Korean girlfriend, and Ju Sanggeun, the favourite of the candidates for the mayoral seat of Seoul, who has received a disturbing death threat. The man behind the mask remains a mystery. The killer is everywhere or perhaps he is simply inside each of us. –Venice Film Festival

A brilliant film that helped define a genre
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
