The events take place over a compact couple of hours and amount to a string of scenarios bordering on offensive that try to derive thrills from the fact a deaf mute woman is being terrorised by a serial killer: she is unable to alert passersby and unable to convey the intricacies of her plight to police or to her mother, and just as you start to think it is all too silly (the killer, afterall, acts so brazenly, operating in plain sight he's essentially a Freddy Kruger in a dreamscape), something interesting happens with some military service cadets briefly seen on screen and suddenly a very silly, unlikely thriller starts to seriously indict male toxicity in South Korea, and suddenly this woman with no voice and no ownership of her own body and dress is not alone, and the outrageous situation she is in seems not so uncommon.
