About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a Korean supernatural thriller with dread-heavy atmosphere and a mythic evil, similar in vibe to Svaha: The Sixth Finger; Not for you if you dislike slow first halves or messy, convoluted plotting.
Pros: strong atmosphere; standout sequences; watchable thrills | Cons: convoluted story; uneven acting; pacing feels long
