Description

"Hae-won (Seong-won Ji) is a woman on the edge: a series of incidents at work earn her a forced “vacation,” but when she travels to a remote island from a childhood visit, at the urgent request of her friend Kim Bok-nam (Yeong-hie Seo), she has no idea what devils of the past are waiting. Moo-do Island is an unpleasant place to visit, and you definitely don’t want to live there. Bok-nam is crumbling under a weight of violence, sexual menace, and fear – with no means of escaping her tormentors. The vengeful rage that waits inside her is growing, and her sanity shredding. If Hae-won can’t help her escape, she may have to take matters into her own hands, once and for all."

    The title and summary really don't do justice to this film. A title like "Snapped" would be better, and the film should arguably be classified as Horror. This is not the paranormal horror featured by the cookie-cutter majority of films, but a deep dive into the daily human atrocities that create the foundations for subsequent paranormal expression. You can easily see this movie becoming the basis for at least one wrenching sequel. Casting, acting, and setting are all excellent. Be aware that the film is emotionally and physically brutal and disturbing, but so riveting that you probably won't be able to turn your gaze.
