Save The Green Planet

Save The Green Planet is kind of a popular title in asian cinema, so there are guaranteed a million reviews already. I am going to do my best to review this movie. I viewed this film via rental from netflix.

Save The Green Planet is about a man who is obsessed with aliens (and insists he isn't crazy), and his girlfriend who loves him so much that she goes along with anything he says. Together they kidnap, torture, and eventually kill men. They do this because he is convinced beyond all else that they are actually aliens from space posing as humans sent to earth with the means to destroy it. His latest kidnapee draws attention from the feds and the hunt is on.

Basically, the alien obsessed murderer kidnaps this big executive business guy who runs scientific experiments of some kind. He is certain that his experiments are what caused his mother to get ill and in a coma for many years. He brings him to his house far up on a mountain where he also has a honey bee farm thing. Under his house he has hidden rooms full of mannequins and this is where he does all his torturing. He ties up the man on a chair and begins interrogating him about being an alien. The executive guy is absolutely dumbfounded and scared as hell. The murderer man then begins to torture him to get him to admit that he is in fact an alien sent to destroy earth.

Meanwhile there are some federal police guys searching for the kidnapped man. There is a rival investigator guy who this other investigator hates and they are both trying to solve the mystery.

Eventually it is revealed that the murderer guy has had many traumatizing events happen in his life and is believed to be the reason why he is so sick. The investigator learns of other people who went missing in the past that he is sure the same murderer guy kidnapped.

Near the end, it drags out kind of with escaping, then again capturing, back and forth over and over. It was still enjoyable though. It had some pretty nasty torture scenes but this movie is also a comedy in a way. Like a really dark comedy.
Then the end gets pretty predictable, but it was nice to see it happen. You also start feeling bad for the murderer and the end credits just make you want to bawl (while laughing hysterically).

Also this movie had sort of a moral/message about why humans are the way they are and how we are destroying ourselves. When I was watching it, I couldn't help but agree.

This was definately a favorite in my list of good korean films, and asian films..
Even though I have yet to write up that list. People should already know what they are getting into when they watch this movie. If you are into shock/horror asian cinema then just go watch it already. There is no excuse.
In my opinion this was a must-see for fans of the genre. Or anybody with a sense of (dark) humor. 5/5
Buy it for only 8 bucks!
