Program Note
In a dingy motel located somewhere on the outskirts of the city, Min-cheol and Young-gyu are secretly recording guests who visit the motel. They then sell the footage to a loan shark to pay off their debts. Although they feel guilty, they are too afraid of the loan shark’s threats to turn away from this evil deed. One day, a customer enters the motel carrying a woman. Min-cheol and Young-gyu, who are recording them with a hidden camera as usual, witness a horrific crime. Now, a life-and-death confrontation between a bad guy and an even worse guy takes place, and the motel becomes a bloody mess. The Guest runs without looking back once it picks up speed. It is a breathtaking and frenzied movie, full of tension and horror. (JUNG Hanseok)
