In this critically acclaimed and incredibly tense supernatural thriller, a foreigner’s mysterious appearance in a quiet village causes suspicion among the locals - suspicion which quickly turns to hysteria, as the residents begin killing each other in brutal outbursts, seemingly without motive.

As the hopelessly out-of-depth investigating officer watches his daughter fall under the same savage spell, he agrees to consult a shaman for answers - unknowingly escalating the situation.

From the globally-acclaimed director of The Chaser and The Yellow Sea, and more than six years in the making, this meticulously crafted thriller is a stunningly realised, visual tour-de-force. Grippingly intense and terror-filled, it will keep you on the edge-of-your seat throughout

"By turns funny and despairing, this village noir brings the horror of uncertainty." ★★★★ Little White Lies

"A supremely unsettling invocation" ★★★★★ The Guardian
