What the audience says
The 8th Night is a middling Korean film — fine for a one-time watch but unlikely to stay with you. It's sitting at 6.2/10 on TMDB across 174 ratings, which puts it around the middle of the pack. The 115-minute runtime sits in the comfortable middle. In South Korea you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 1h 55m on it?
1h 55m of Korean mystery, leaning thriller, not one for younger kids. Runs about as long as you'd expect, so no scheduling gymnastics needed.
