In March, U.S. label Terror Vision is releasing a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray for 1981’s Suddenly in the Dark, the only horror movie to be helmed by prolific director Go Yeong-nam (Korean Connection).
The film stars Kim Young-ae (Confession of Murder), Yoon Il-bong (Love on a Rainy Day), Lee Gi-seon (Lost Youth), Hyeon Hye-ri (Unconditional Love) and Kim Geun-hui (Encounter).
Kang Yu-jin is a biology professor who brings in a housemaid to help around the house. Mi-ok doesn’t have any family so Yu-jin and his wife Seon-hee welcome her into their home. Seon-hee grows weary of Mi-ok presence not only because she suspects an affair between her husband and their new guest, but mainly because Mi-ok carries around an old wooden doll that resembles her. As pressure starts to build – we are thrown into a world of nightmares and madness as things spiral out of control.
