Review of Barking Dogs Never Bite

Yun-Ju is a college professor whose dislike of banking dogs, it eventually drives him to seek out these dogs and kill them. He has the idea of offering a bribe in order to get a full professorship. That, along with the stress of his overbearing (and pregnant) wife puts a strain on him to the point where he seems to become unbalanced. He gets a small dog away from its elderly owner and then throws the dog off the roof of his building. To make things worse, his wife brings home a dog that she forces him to take care. Yun-Ju losses his wife's dog in the park while walking into a cloud of pesticides. While looking for the dog, he realizes that his building's superintendent might be making a meal of the dog in the basement, as Yun-Ju witnessed before. Yun-Ju finds the super making soup and asks to use the bucket that the super is sitting on. I think this is a good example of what Carroll meant by "exciting positive emotions like curiosity". Yun-Ju and the audience are both sure that the missing dog will be found in the bucket, but in what condition alive, dead, or somewhere in between? While I don't think that the movie is a true horror film, it could be considered a dark comedy.
