Director Jeong-woo Park may not have an extensive bio, but he did a styling job with this environmental disaster film. The film provides a very in-depth explanation for the epidemic caused by horsehair worms, making it very believable. It was fast-paced and exciting with literally never a dull moment as the epidemic soon causes complete pandemonium. Towards the end, it is fantastic how everything goes wrong all at once and the characters become desperate, especially when a cure is announced and all hell breaks loose as they try to get their hands on the cure. The film became more intriguing as the truth unfolds as to how and why the epidemic started. This was incredible.

This picture was frustrating to watch. The chasing-around/in-pursuit-of element stretched itself thin as any episode of Looney Tunes. No gore, no frights, nothing eerie or atmospheric. Just the live action equivalent of a cartoon rife with ridiculous anxiety. I gave this a 4 instead of a 1 because of the high production value and solid acting all around.The core story, while outlandish, is interesting, but the execution of this film just left me exhausted. It lacked grace.Avoid until you've run out of contagion films to watch.South Korea has been cranking out some real gems lately. This, however, isn't one of them.

As we can see Korea now try to wider their genre instead of just popular with their gangster-gore-cop movie as always. They had try courtroom, sport, war, social problem and many things so now they come up with ''Deranged'', their first pandemic movie maybe.Maybe everyone will remember about ''Contagion'', yes they are the same genre but this is Korea, so they are totally different movie because all korean fans know what West don't have in their movie, only in Korea.Distressful, thrilling, suspenseful, dramatic, thats what we need in the movie and Deranged have it all. Maybe it have a predictable solution but its so exciting and very worth watching. Especially for the ''race against time'' scene! Good try fella!

I like Asian movies and this one added to my list of favorites ones. Deranged has drama, horror, suspense everything blended nicely into 110 minutes. The acting is OK nothing spectacular but the story was strong.Jae-hyuk is an ordinary man in his 40s. He works as a medical supplies salesman and is hassled by doctors all day. His brother Jae-pil is a detective that is not all that interested in public safety and spends most of his time moaning about the stock market. The discovery of a series of floating, gruesomely skeletal bodies around the country sparks hysteria. I don't want to spoil something so the rest you will see it on your own. Give this a try and you wont regret it. My vote is 8/10
