Handsome Guys

At first glance, Jae-pil and Sang-goo may seem a little rough around the edges, but in truth they’re two upright, sensitive sweethearts who simply want to open a new, rural chapter in their recently purchased hovel in the woods. But as soon as they arrive at their new home, they get caught up in a series of misunderstandings and coincidences that make them look suspicious in the eyes of their neighbors and local police. Unwittingly, they stumble headlong into disaster and only realize it when the sylvan peace is beyond saving. The exquisitely rendered Korean reincarnation of Tucker & Dale vs. Evil not only adds a demonic goat to the plot but also holds its own against the 2010 cult hit in gag density and escalating action.
