A film easily as shocking and crazy as Psycho coming out in the same year?! Who knew? A small group of South Korean cult cinema fans, apparently. Odd, petite, and minxy Eun-Shim Lee gets hired by a music professor to help his ailing and pregnant wife, and what is otherwise a somber, well-behaved Korean drama gets hijacked and transformed into alarming and horrifying mess! In between numerous cigarette breaks, bad girl Eun-Shim taunts the children, insults the wife, easily kills and displays a large rat, ogles the rat poison bottle, flirts with the professor, threatens a visiting piano student, and locates the kitchen's sharpest knife. And she's just warming up! Has to be seen to be believed.
