Why it matters
A claustrophobic South Korean haunted house tale that blends social anxiety with supernatural dread.
- Sharp atmospheric tension built on cramped, lived-in sets that feel oppressively real.
- Explores economic precarity and friendship under duress, grounding the ghost story in relatable struggles.
- Practical effects and subtle sound design ratchet unease without cheap jump scares.
- Ideal for fans of slow-burn hauntings who appreciate horror as a reflection of societal fears, à la Kim Jee-woon or Na Hong-jin.
