Synopsis

Yes, there are all sorts of weird killers out there, though none would be as weird as this particular killer who kills his victims slowly with an outrageous weapon. Having a led-white face, the killer avoids using a matter of second, minute or hour kinds of devices or methods. He insists on using a spoon and he hits his victims with it until they are finally dead. He also tortures his preys using only the spoon, as he stalks them around beating them with his spoon in the exactly same spot over and over again. The act is as hilarious as it is terrifying. The punch line of the film is where a parade of parody scenes appear, referenced from a number of previous releases. For example, a majestic Hollywood blockbuster trailer was parodied for its scale, action and colorful locations. And the famous shower room scene from Psycho was altered with a presence of a spoon! Full of hilarious, clever parodies! (JANG Byung Won)
