Femme Fatale, a remake of the 1998 French suspense comedy Serial Lover, revolves around an offbeat series of mysterious murders that take place inside the house of a famous actress. Directed by Kang Kyung Hoon in his first ever featured film, Femme Fatale won endorsement from both critics and moviegoers with its witty, off-the-wall tales. Femme Fatale features the same successful comic ingredients as the original film which won a string of international awards, but brings some local flavor to the plot by adding humor more familiar to Korean audiences. The mystery novel writer of the original film is now a famous actress played by Ye Ji Won (Old Miss Diary). The same formula of bizarre, dark humor that highlighted 1998's The Quiet Family is also applied in Femme Fatale which combines romance, suspense, and comedy.
