Suddenly in the Dark
깊은밤 갑자기 | Gipeun bam gabjagi
1981
Synopsis
Seon-hee leads the life of a perfect housewife. But when her husband hires Mi-ok—the orphaned daughter of a shaman priestess—as a maid, Seon-hee becomes convinced that the attractive girl uses her only possession, a strange wooden doll, to bring evil spirits into their home and destroy her family.
Editorial
Cursed dolls and hallucinatory visions abound in Young-nam Ko’s cult horror classic, a prismatic blend of supernatural terrors and erotic thrills. Tapping into the tradition of shamanism in Korean culture, this delirious vision of domestic paranoia turns the home into a psychological combat zone.
