Given his stellar filmography, it's safe to assume that Park Chan-wook's next movie will be just as viscerally powerful as 'Oldboy,' 'Sympathy for Lady Vengeance,' or 'Thirst.'

Yes, the characters will venture into that creepy death factory, sex scenes will always end in a bloody death, and most importantly, cell phones will never work when they're most needed. After all, what better way to create tension and move along the paper-thin plot? Until watching this hilarious crap-out compilation (check it out after ...

Looking for a surefire conversation piece or guaranteed nightmares for weeks on end? Then you may want to take up Little Island's offer to create a tiny, custom robot version of you, which can apparently even be used as a VoIP phone of sorts to freak out family members when you're away.
