An eerie, foreboding hospital is the setting for this tense psychological thriller from one of the most acclaimed genre filmmakers of the South Korea Golden Age. An ambitious doctor, set to wed the hospital owner’s daughter, has designs on being chief surgeon. However, when his affair with one of the nurses puts those plans in jeopardy, he takes diabolical steps to ensure his plans aren’t thwarted. Kim Jin-gyu turns in an uncharacteristically menacing performance, while Moon Jeong-sook shines as the nurse who will not be silenced.
