SUFFERING OF NINKO
Now out!
Young monk Ninko leads an ascetic existence in the Enmeiji temple, but his dedication to a life of simplicity and sexual abstinence is made impossible by the curse that seems to afflict him: he is irresistible to every woman (and some of the men) he meets. Pursued by a posse of half-naked, crazed women and a mysterious, faceless nymph, he flees high into the mountains, where he can finally discover his true nature.
“The Suffering of Ninko is a wild, jaw-dropping fever dream of a film that must be seen to be believed.” Indiewire
“For lovers of the truly bizarre, this is a must-see.” Cinapse
“Suffering Of Ninko is a home run. A cult in the making” High on Films
“Undeniably outlandish. A bold and striking debut.” Eastern Kicks
Dual Format DVD & BLURAY set now out!

Korean Film Festival Teaser Screenings
Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum
Gonjiam Psychiatric hospital, well known locally as one of the most haunted places in South Korea, gained international notoriety when CNN named it as one of the ‘7 Freakiest Places on Earth.’ Shrouded in mystery, the desolate location is the home of urban legends telling of abandoned patients, deranged doctors and horrific experiments. With all the elements for a perfect horror movie in place, director Jung Bum-shik went to work and ended up making the surprise hit of 2018 and the country’s second most successful horror movie of all time.
