SYNOPSIS
Physician Seunghun divorces his wife Soojeong after his clinic becomes bankrupt, and is hired in a small clinic in a city that was known for an unsolved serial murder case. Perhaps because of the city¡¯s bad reputation, he has qualms about Seonggeun, the butcher on the first floor of his studio building. While performing an endoscopy on Seonggeun¡¯s father JEONG, who has Alzhemeir¡¯s disease, Seunghun hears something that he says while half-asleep. Seunghun suspects Seonggeun, and his father JEONG and fears them. When another murder takes place in the city, Seunghun¡¯s suspicion turns into conviction.
The director that has made prominent horror thrillers ever since her feature debut The Uninvited, and portrays the anxieties of the fallen middle-class through psychological mystery thrillers. Although it deals with atrocious themes like murder, this is a genre film that focuses on the exploration of the human mind over displays of violence. [LEE Youngju]
