Moebius

undefined

The husband - distracted by an affair with a young woman; the wife - of her husbands debauchery; and the teenage son - indifferent to them both. Overwhelmed with hatred, the wife attempts to remove from the husband the organ driving his desires; thwarted, she instead takes out the violent act on the son and then disappears into the night. Disfigured in such a radical way, the son slowly deviates from normal life. With both husband and son damaged and living in grief, the wife returns as the family heads towards destruction even more horrific than before. Review ------ Kim, as a filmmaker, has achieved a shocking film that touches upon almost every taboo imaginable and does so with elegance and an unshakable sense of control, making him an Asian horror auteur to watch for. --Erik Myers, Bloody Disgusting MOEBIUS is insane and brilliant! A terrifying and morbidly humorous narrative. -- Pierce Conran, Twitch [Director] Kim rides the line in a fashion similar to Craven with THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. -- Ryan Larson, ShockTilYouDrop.com Not for the faint of heart! A gruesome tale of a bloody, vicious circle of sexual frenzy, jealousy and outrageous violence. ---- Dan Fainaru, Screen Daily Not for the faint at hearts!
