i don't think the supernatural tag fits this movie, this more a psychological mystery, thriller. even though i get that the premise where a family member sacrifice's themselves for a sick loved one & after the sacrifice, their loved one miraculously heals/recovers - there is something very supernatural about that & yet it isn't supernatural in the line of Exhuma or The Priests, where there is an other worldly entity - the battle of good vs evil is very clear.. this just felt like a mind-f*ck, people that r brain washed into cults out of desperation, that can be contagious. a desperation that would drive them to commit evil deeds, to be exploited, deluding themselves into thinking they r doing it for a greater good or that it was some kind of sacrifice - an offering to God, like the one that was asked of Abraham from the bible.

having said this, i feel like i need to watch this a couple more times - cause after one watch i am confused at parts & feel like info in missing at others. also given the fact that Ju Yeong was still investigating the club members of the cult, it felt like an open end.
the acting was good & i was hooked after the scene of the confession, but as i feel like a lot went over my head i don't wanna add more... as it might be a wrong assumption on my part. maybe after a few more watches & getting a better hold of things i will edit this review.

bottom line - i enjoyed this (in spite of what i wrote above) & will happily rewatch when i get a chance, great acting & interesting plot.
