Contorted

I really, really liked the ideas for this film from the mother's struggle with resentment of being a wife and mother, to mixed feelings about her adopted daughter, and wondering how much is in her head and how much is supernatural.

The mystery with the CEO and the family that lived in the house prior is also intriguing.

But the budget is SO LOW it looks like a soap opera. You almost have to be a Korea-phile or a hardcore lover of Korean cinema to get past it. I'm really picky about atmosphere so unfortunately I couldn't just stop noticing it.

I do watch quite a number of Korean films though so I stuck with it. I wouldn't blame other people for not doing so, no matter how interesting the story might be.
