Teenage Hooker Became A Killing Machine In Daehakro (2000)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Despite the one-of-a-kind title, TEENAGE HOOKER BECOMES A KILLING MACHINE is one of the worst ever films I've watched. It's by far the worst South Korean movie I've sat through, and this is a country normally noted for the calibre of its productions. It's amateur hour throughout, a pointless, senseless waste of time for all involved, not least the viewer.Although the running time is only an hour long (and ten minutes of this is padded out with endless credits, half of which feel made up), this is a movie which drags on and on and on. A teenage hooker is killed by a client, then her body is turned into an android by a trio of random laughing guys who show up, then she goes and kills a bunch of people. There's nothing more to it than that, except lots of the dud camera angles and effects that student filmmakers always put into their movies to try to disguise a lack of storyline. The whole thing feels like it was shot in the street with a camcorder on a single evening, with no script either.The only, and I mean only, interesting thing about this production is that it predates the current Japanese wave of ultra low budget gore flicks in which high school girls have machine parts attached to their bodies and fight off OTT enemies with body parts flying across the screen, a la MACHINE GIRL. It probably served to inspire them, but as it stands it's a complete dud.

First off, me like everyone else who watched this movie surely was aware that it's a budget production, and would not expect more than what it could've been. But this movie does not fall because of a non-existing budget, but because it's just a complete fail.Why did I watch it? Well, the idea behind the movie is what made me interested, thinking it might be some sort of fusion between Machine Girl and the Guinea Pig series, hoping for a bold, unpolished, and raw story. Much to my disappointment it's not, and here's why: The acting is pathetic, even if it would be a middle school arts project, every single role is executed without heart or motivation. There's no excuse no matter how budget a movie is to allow such poor acting. The editing and filming is just as bad as the acting, where the movie appears to go for artistic and clever shots in order to intrigue the viewer (like many other budget movies), the reality is that it's just annoying and ruins any form flow in the movie, and does definitely not intrigue. The script is not any better; the story is as coherent as if a five year old would've written it. What else can be critiqued.. well everything but the music, and perhaps three minutes of total footage that was actually cleverly made.All in all, this is by far one of the worst budget productions I've ever seen. It's an hour of your life - the only reason why I could even finish it - which does not seem like much, but you're better off watching an our of nyancat than spending your time on this.

Due to a new Cash Converters having recently opened near by me,I decided to go and have a look to see what DVDs they have in stock.Looking down the shelves,I was very disappointed to see that almost all of the DVD section was filled with very cheap and grotty looking DVDs.Happily,as I started to look at the last row,I suddenly noticed a title which,sounded like a film that would be a fun,gritty revenge movie.Sadly,when I eventually watched the film,I discovered that it was, (even with a running time of 56 minutes)one of the most slow-moving,un-engaging dull movies that I have ever seen.The plot:With being caught giving "full service" outside the house of her teachers grandmother,a young prostitute decides to offer herself to the teacher,hoping that he will accept and not go to the police.Due to fining it almost impossible to say no,the teacher accepts the offer.Sadly,things don't go according to plan,when the teacher gets the prostitute pregnant.Not wanting this to ruin his chance for a promotion,the teacher gets hold of a gun,and kills the prostitute and her unborn child.Wanting her to disappear,he next pays four gangsters to chop her body up,and throw all of the pieces away.After secretly watching the gangsters bin the body parts,a scientist appears,who plans to use the body parts to bring the girl back to life as a cyborg,so she can at last get revenge on everyone that tried to make her disappear.View on the film:As the six minute long opening credits scene began,which features the unnamed prostitute walking down a street,A through suddenly began to enter my head,that even with a short running time,this was going to be a very drawn out film.For the visuals,writer/director Nam Ki-Woong makes the movie look as if he has turned the brightness up on a TV to 11,with the transformation of the girl into a cyborg,,looking like Ki-Woong has just chucked a few cans of paint over the actress.Whilst the outline of the plot should give plenty of opportunities for the movie to have tons of great,gritty action scenes and a fast pace.Ki-woong sadly,completely destroys any chance of that happening,due to making all the scenes be about three minutes too long,and not building up any sense of anticipation for the girl to get her revenge.Final view on the film:A terrible screenplay,which is screeched to death,and embarrassingly bad directing from writer/director Nam Ki-Woong.

Really low budget film shot on DV. Plot is simplistic version of La Femme Nikita, they match shot for shot with the test that takes place in the restaurant, except she doesn't dive threw a laundry shoot. Overall interesting film, the DP to a great job using DV to his advantage. Plus a dancing sequence in the alleyway is great, I agree with another commentor "Travolta and Thurman watch out(Pulp Fiction)
