"Possessed" 2-Disc Korea Version DVD

While it's written and directed by first-time director Lee Yong Joo who previously assisted Bong Joon Ho's "Memories of Murder", but "Possessed" perhaps is one of the best horror films to come out of Korea in recent years. The film also has won "Best Original Screenplay" in the 30th Blue Dragon Film Awards currently. Although not entirely free from influences of the popular genre staples but it was strikingly original in its design and conception, and shrewdly restrained in its manipulation of the generic elements as well as audience expectations. Korean Starlet Nam Sang-Mi takes the lead, and even though her previous films roles seems to have mainly been action flicks and rom-coms, this film marks her returns to the horror genre since "The Ghost" five years ago. "Possessed" is now up for pre-order on DVD, just get it soon as one of the better addition for your Asian horror collection.
