South Korea, 2008 | 88 min | Yoon Hong-Seung | DVD | Not Rated
Twenty students in a special honors class are taking their midterms. All of a sudden a voice comes in over the loudspeaker telling them that for every question they get wrong, one person will die. Now the students and their teacher must race against the clock to get the right answers to save the lives of their fellow classmates! Fans of the SAW series will find the bloody torture scenes are even more gruesome than the best of Jigsaw's traps.

November 21 | South Korea, 2003 | 120min | Chan-wook Park | DVD | R
It would be a sin to reveal too much about this riveting and bizarre thriller from Korean director Chan Wook Park, except to say that it's about a man named Dae-Su who is locked in a hotel room for 15 years without knowing his captor's motives. When he is finally released, Dae Su finds himself still trapped in a web of conspiracy and strangeness. His own quest for vengeance becomes tied in with romance when he falls for an attractive sushi chef (Gang Hye-Jung), who feeds him live octopus and who may or may not be involved with the bizarre mystery. There are intense fight scenes (Dae Su's favorite weapon is a hammer), look-away moments of torture and self-mutilation, sex, and gallons of black humor. Not for the squeamish, but for those seeking something wholly original and daring, this cinematic entree is alive--it's hard to imagine a better slice of psycho-shock sensationalism.

Understudies Improv Troupe!
Understudies Improv Troupe!
Wednesday, Dec 02,  8:00 PM
Memorial Union - Fredric March Play Circle
FREE!
The Understudies Improv Troupe mainly focuses on short-form improv, which includes individual scenes and games lasting no longer than a few minutes. This type is so successful because it tends to lay out the comedic elements of a situation almost immediately. It really brings out the personality of each group member, while allowing the audience to join in on the fun also!
