Fetish

2008 · 87 min

A quiet, unsettling slow burn that creeps under your skin as polite suburban surfaces crack into something strange and predatory.

Overview: When yuppie Korean-American lawyer Peter brings beauteous bride Sookhy home to suburban New Jersey, she seems withdrawn, English-challenged and easily bullied by her mother-in-law. But fate abruptly takes Peter out of the picture, leaving a curiously unperturbed Sookhy (who's descended from a line of female shamans) free to force her company on the glamorous Caucasian couple next door.

Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
