There’s a wedding tradition in Korea which involves a person wearing a dried squid on their face while carrying gifts on their back. Young-hoon, soon to be married, asks his friend Cheol-gyu to take on this particular ritual role. What Cheol-gyu doesn’t realize is that what’s about to happen will haunt him in the most dreadful way possible. Lee Sangmin’s HAMJINABI is a prime example of Korean horror cinema that leaves a deep mark when it’s over. You won’t know what’s coming. – Steven Lee
