Office

People seem to love or hate Office, a Korean suspense/horror film.  Office mate Kim goes home one day and bludgeons his family to death, then goes on the run.  Even as his coworkers, like young intern Mishae, try to sweep everything under the rug and move on, strange things start happening at the office, leading them and the police to believe Kim may have never left...

One or two people are hailing this as the best suspense horror of the festival.  Another large group walked out of the screening in process, and are panning it as shallow and predictable.  I don't think it was horrible, just ... below average.  The employees are stereotypical and foolish.  The police are woefully incompetent.  It just could have been a much better film.
