Based on the true story of South Korea's first serial killer... when women start turning up dead in a small town in South Korea in 1986, two reluctantly partnered cops resolve to bring the killer to justice. But it was a very different world then, and without DNA testing or modern forensics, the investigators are forced to rely mainly on intuition and brute force. At times both touching and humorous, MEMORIES OF MURDER is a riveting tale of a mysterious killer and the ceaseless pressure on those charged with stopping his rampage.
Based on a true story, the film takes place in a small village in Korea where an intense police investigation follows a series of brutal rapes and murders.
