The Exclusive: Beat the Devil's Tattoo2015
“Once it goes on air, the truth is meaningless”
Directed by Roh Deok
The premise
An unsuccessful journalist becomes a star after he writes an article about the memo of an unknown serial killer. But when he learns that the memo was just part of a novel, he decides to cover up everything.
Horror Vault's take
A struggling South Korean journalist stumbles into the spotlight when a piece he writes about a suspected serial killer's memo sends shockwaves through the public. When a disturbing revelation threatens to unravel everything he's built, his desperate attempt to bury the truth pulls him deeper into dangerous territory. What begins as a career-defining break slowly transforms into a psychological pressure cooker where ambition and self-preservation collide. The line between hunter and hunted blurs as the story he tried to control begins to control him.
