Suspensful But too "Hip" for its Own Good
I was curious about this movie because of singer Jeong Dong Won's acting appearance. I thought he did quite well and they caught him just at the right age. One year later he'd look to old to be so naive. ** SPOILERS AHEAD ** "New Normal" is full of suspese and black humor. I'm not big fan of horror movies because most of them are too gruesome or play fast and loose with supernatural themes. These 6 chapters are supposed to have a linked payoff but it must be too subtle for me to get it. I think it has something to do with human organ harvesting. During the premier, Jeong Dong Won publically questioned the director about the conclusion to his chapter and the director seemed to agree it was too enigatic. Really the same could be said about all of the episodes and it's too bad because this movie could rate a "10" if the conclusion connected all the dots like the famous ending of "Citizen Kane" with the Rosebut sled device. Well, I'm glad I was able to see it but it will be quickly forgotten. Thanks for the other commenters who pointed me to HiTV to see it.
