![]() If you need another “murder game” hit after Squid Game, look no further than this gripping adaptation of the Japanese manga series by Haro Aso. Like Parasite and Squid Game, Sweet Home packs in a deeper commentary on Korea's economic politics, making it more layered than the monster apocalypse theme alone would suggest. It's not just the phenomenal effects work that makes it worth your time, the terror is rooted in an engaging, flawed, and desperate group of survivors in an isolated apartment building-chiefly suicidal teen Cha Hyun-soo (Song Kang) former firefighter Seo Yi-kyung (Lee Si-young) and Pyeon Sang-wook (Lee Jin-wook), who may be a brutal gangster. Blending sensational prosthetics, CGI, and even stop-motion animation for some disturbingly juddering monsters, this stands apart from the horror crowd. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.īased on the Korean webcomic by Kim Carnby and Hwang Young-chan, Sweet Home offers a very different vision of apocalyptic end times-rather than pandemics or disasters or even zombies, this posits an end of the world brought about by people's transformation into grotesque monsters, each unique and seemingly based on their deepest desires from when they were human.
