FRIDAY 25TH FEBRUARY 9.00 P.M. - Dark, disturbing, and exceedingly graphic, Kim Ji-woon’s hypnotic serial killer thriller is the best since THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and SE7EN. The fiancée of a secret service agent, (Byung-Hyun Lee, the ‘Bad’ in Ji-woon’s THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WEIRD), is savagely murdered by a vicious psychopath, (OLDBOY’s Min-Sik Choy).  But once he’s tracked the killer down, he’s not content with exacting a simple revenge. Instead he toys with him in increasingly brutal ways, forcing him to endure a fraction of the gruesome suffering he’s inflicted on others. That is until he finds himself in too deep, way over his head, ill-equipped to play the kinds of mind games that psycho’s relish. A battle between inexpressible evil and tragically dwindling good focusing on a ‘hero’ infected by the shocking malevolence he's trying to destroy, FrightFest will be showing the fully uncut version of Ji-woon’s epic and ambiguous masterpiece.
