The premise
A stranger arrives in a little village and soon after a mysterious sickness starts spreading. A policeman is drawn into the incident and is forced to solve the mystery in order to save his daughter.
Horror Vault's take
When a reclusive stranger settles in a fog-draped Korean village, a wave of grotesque violence and illness follows in his wake. A bumbling but devoted local officer finds himself plunged into a desperate investigation that blurs the line between crime scene and supernatural nightmare. As the contagion creeps closer to his own family, he turns to shamans and priests in a race against forces he cannot fully comprehend. Na Hong-jin's slow-burn epic layers mystery upon mystery, leaving viewers to question every truth they think they've uncovered.
