Jury prize winner at Cannes this year, Park Chan-wook’s feature gets an exclusive Director’s Cut in time for The London Korean Film Festival. Song Kang-ho (The Host) stars as a devout priest, whose selfless desire to help others has shocking repercussions when the wonder-vaccine he volunteers to trial turns him into a vampire.
Ostensibly concerned with the psychological impact of the condition on a very spiritual man. This is a very modern take on the Vampire story.
