Horror Vault's take

Set against the rugged northern frontier of the Joseon dynasty, this standalone special expands the Kingdom universe by plunging deep into the origin of its plague. A woman of mixed heritage endures devastating loss at the hands of those who should have protected her, and what she uncovers in the wilderness sets her on an unrelenting path of vengeance. Equal parts period epic and horror, the film layers political cruelty and tribal tragedy onto its undead terror. Gianna Jun commands the screen in a largely wordless performance that is as haunting as the mystery she unravels.
