《致命目擊》以出乎預料的劇情，帶給觀眾強烈的心靈衝擊。有別於其他驚悚片，本片從一開始就呈現出犯人的真面目，讓本片走出跟其他「不知道犯人是誰」的驚悚片截然不同的路，並為本片定義出「目擊者與殺人魔，在對望之後的駭人追擊」嶄新風格。尤其本片的犯案地點，是南韓最為平凡的社區大樓，男主角因為偶然目睹命案過程，開始跟兇手展開亡命追逐，也讓觀眾不禁產生「如果是我該怎麼辦」的想像空間，甚至更能投入在劇情當中。強烈的緊張感、難以預測的劇情發展；目擊者與殺人者的緊迫追逐，一分一秒都難以轉移視線！我目睹了命案實況，兇手也同時看見了我… 午夜兩點，傳來無辜女子的淒厲求救聲，在陽台上目睹殺人實況的尚勳（李星民飾演），當他正準備要報警的時候，竟意外跟兇手對上了眼，讓他與家人成為兇手的下一個目標。為了保護自己與家人，尚勳必須對警方隱瞞自己看見兇手的事實，並展開與殺人魔之間的驚悚追擊…

On a March night in 1964, 37 neighbors in Queens, New York, witness the brutal murder of Kitty Genovese. None of them takes action or calls the police. 37 tells the story of a few of these people and what led up to the night when they unexplainably remained passive observers. The film is a convincing portrayal of a borough in change and a time characterized by racism, the Civil Rights Movement and political shifts. The actual event that inspired the film’s plot has been called a symbol for the moment when America lost its innocence. The director Puk Grasten skillfully weaves into her feature film debut various fates, dreams and family conflicts by leading us through an apartment building that comes to bear a collective failure.
