Hikikomori is the Japanese term for "Those who isolate themselves," in English is call 'loner' which is a label for a person who does not actively seek, avoids, or is isolated from human interaction. There are many reasons for solitude, intentional or otherwise. Various mental illnesses, social difficulties and personal philosophies can be linked to reclusiveness; however no specific cause is implied by the term loner. The term loner is usually used with a negative connotation in the belief that humans are social creatures and those that do not participate are different. The label has often been applied pejoratively by the media to individuals deemed strange or pathetic. The loner may take pride in or be ashamed of his or her behavior.
With borrowing the phenomenon of social withdrawal, director Park Jae Sik made up his new movie and also added a terrifying twist in this thrilling debut feature "Loner" (a.k.a.

The home cinema version for the big screen thriller has already released now in the Korean version with English subtitle region 3 DVD.
Ko Eun-ah shares many experiences filming her new movie "Loner".Ko confessed that she practiced her role day and night without even washing and dragging her slippers around the house. "Loner" contains many thrilling and horrific scenes. However, the movie set among the staff and actors was bright and fun. Everyone had to concentrate deeply to get the mood of the story to come out.
