Stylish, but definitely not for the squeamish

Director Yang Joon-hyun works scrupulously from the Hollywood serial murder playbook, and delivers something which does its job, even as its last reel flounders with several too many plot twists, but has no particular reason to exist.

The New York Times by Dana Stevens
It doles out information so arbitrarily that you are robbed of the twin pleasures of figuring out clues and figuring out you've been fooled.

A crackerjack serial-killer chiller in "Seven" mold, Tell Me Something cleverly disguises its thoroughly generic content and leaps of logic with highly honed technique and an involving approach to narrative.

Familiar and predictable enough, especially if you have seen Hollywood serial-killer thrillers like "Se7en."

Not ultimately original enough to sustain its many horrific images.

Stylish, sullen, and a little predictable, Tell Me Something is the match of any American film in its quasi-genre, though you suspect that without a world market to target, it might've been even more anxious and intrepid.

A complicated and stylish Korean thriller that will make viewers' skin crawl.
