To Catch a Virgin Ghost



Funny, nutty ghost story/mobster flick/black comedy from South Korea!
TO CATCH A VIRGIN GHOST (also known as SISILY 2KM) is a fun, enjoyable black comedy-thriller set in a small village in South Korea. It'd be difficult to explain even the story without giving much away, but suffice to say the film opens with a thug on the run from the mob (after stealing a cache of diamonds), who accidentally crashes his SUV near a remote village. Walking to the village, he finds about a half-dozen country bumpkins, men and women working the fields, who he cons into letting him stay the night because he's stranded. When a practical joke gone bad results in the not-too-bright gangster's death (he cracks his skull on the toilet in the john), the villagers find one of the diamonds on him (he swallowed the rest; long story), and instead of calling the police they decide to bury the dead crook and sell the diamond to make their lives prosperous again. When the dead guy's ex-buddies from the mob come looking for him, the guy's crashed vehicle leads them directly to the...

Very Funny
I read the other viewers results and thought that I would check this movie out for myself and they were spot on with their comments. It was a very funny and enjoyable movie with a sweet ending. It didn't take me to long to figure out who the bad guys were. The ghost was cute even with her scary eyes. I think people should check this movie out its worth the whole hour and a half of time. Trust me I have seen worse. SHARKNADO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need I say more.

Another excellent Korean movie
A lot of people do not realize how accomplished the Korean movie community has become. This movie is a prime example of this. A little wacky, some dark humor, some violence... all you can ask for in this type of movie.
While this and most other Korean movies have the same conventions as US movies the Korean movies approach them differently. That is one of the main reasons I like both Korean and Japanese movies.
