Bluebeard

I watched it without any expectation and I ended up completely pleased. This is a solid thriller of mystery and suspense that makes you think and immerses you fully in its great and obscure narrative.

A Disorienting Narrative That Mistakes Confusion for Meaningful Suspense.180414 (1.0)A true plot twist makes you go, "Ah, so that is what happened!" Going "What?

Directed by Lee Soo-yeon, the 2017 South Korean psychological thriller "Bluebeard" stars Cho Jin-woong as Seung-hoon, a bankrupt physician who relocates to a sleepy clinic in the suburbs of Seoul. After performing a routine endoscopy on an elderly landlord who murmurs a chilling confession of dismemberment while under anesthesia, the doctor descends into paranoia and terror, suspecting a family of serial killers while the narrative blurs the lines between actual danger and psychological delusion.
