🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Chris Yong constructs a suffocating thriller that relies on the stark contrast between the brutal, visceral world of the butcher shop and the fragile intimacy of an illicit affair. It explores how repressed desire and systemic violence inevitably seek a catastrophic outlet.

What lingers after the final frame is a profound sense of unease and the metallic taste of impending doom. A grim reminder that in certain cages, the only way out is through destruction. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch alone, late at night. Let its slow-burning tension and visceral atmosphere fully envelop you.
