So, 'Massacres' is one of those gritty crime flicks that really digs into the underbelly of snuff film culture, set against the backdrop of Korea. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and Roy's direction leans heavily into the seedy undercurrents, making you feel the constant danger that the protagonist is in. Performances can be a bit uneven, but there are moments where the actors really deliver, especially in their interactions with the police. The pacing has a certain deliberate rhythm, which can lead to some drawn-out scenes, but it works to build suspense. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a layer of realism that’s kind of unsettling. It’s not for everyone, but there’s a distinct edge that makes it stand out in the crime genre of the early '90s.
