The death of young So-Mi was supposed to be the end. But for her father, surgeon Seung-Do, it's just the beginning of a nightmare that neither medicine nor prayer can cure. During the sacred three-day mourning ritual, silence begins to crack - as something unseen and unwelcome refuses to leave. "Devil’s Stay" throbs with grief, guilt, and the horrifying question: when we try to defeat death, what darkness are we inviting in?
Fun fact: The film uses supernatural horror as a metaphor for grief and denial, blending emotional depth with chilling atmosphere in a uniquely Korean setting.
Moon-Sub Hyun is a South Korean director who focuses on psychological and supernatural themes. Devils Stay is his debut feature - a bold entry into genre cinema marked by emotional intensity and narrative restraint.
