ThrillerHorror

Kyung-chul is a dangerous psychopath who kills for pleasure. Soo-hyeon, a top-secret agent, decides to track down the murderer himself. He promises himself that he will do everything in his power to take vengeance against the killer, even if it means that he must become a monster himself.

VIBE

This is a relentless, brutal descent into the darkest corners of human nature. It feels unflinching and harrowing, a dread-soaked journey through extreme violence and moral compromise. The propulsive cat-and-mouse dynamic is utterly visceral, leaving you with a grim, nihilistic chill that lingers long after the credits roll.
