The Sin

After two actresses perform an avant-garde dance for an indie film at a creepy abandoned school, a gonzo chain of events sends everyone into sheer panic. Okay, now the fun stuff. Han Don-seok's batty debut is a gore-splattered, thrill-stuffed mashup that keeps you howling - when you're not covering your eyes. Revealing too many twists would be a crime against Entertainment Law, but let's just say the dread and depravity tumble down so many philosophical rabbit holes, you'll need a CERN map to find your way out. The wild world-building goes full tilt boogie, roping in bent cops, unhinged cultists, and unholy terrors galore. It's a head-trippy meta-meta-metahorror experience that's both mind-blowingly bonkers and totally creepariffic. You might need a sanitarium vacation after.
