The Cursed: Insatiable Desires

What it’s about

In South Korea, an old man attacks a village's sacred guardian tree. A beauty-obsessed office worker interferes with a neighbor's deliveries. A mother bargains with ghosts to get her daughter into medical school. A senior police officer rejects his junior partner's help and pursues a case alone. A college student chases social-media fame by filming horror content. Their separate paths converge on a sinister black market, and once its true nature surfaces, escape is impossible.
