The couple try multiple approaches to combat his condition, but nothing seems to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After their child is born Hyun-su\u2019s actions grow more grotesque and bizarre, and Soo-jin begins to fear the worst. Desperate and sleep-deprived, she turns for help to a shaman, someone connected to the supernatural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Debut director Jason Yu, who was the assistant director for Academy Award-winning Bong Joon Ho [<em>Parasite<\/em>], brings audiences a clever, well-crafted and genre-bending thriller that rachets up a creeping horror towards its fantastically bonkers finale. It features one of the final performances from <em>Parasite <\/em>star Lee Sun-kyun, who tragically died in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We end with a hectic denouement that satisfies all desire for catharsis as it makes an art of creative doubt spreading.
