Haejin Park, a trauma therapist, is forced to face her family's darkest past when she returns to her childhood countryside-farm to console her heartbroken younger sister.

Enjoyed this for the most part. It treads some familiar ground where unresolved familial trauma and grief manifest as supernatural horrors that haunt the protagonist. I liked most of the horror elements. In particular, the figure digging frantically in the sand was creepy and unsettling. I think there was opportunities to ratchet it up the horror even more, but it never really went there. And everything didn’t quite come together for me in the end. Not a bad festival watch though.
