Plot
After a detective rescues a mute disfigured woman from being murdered, he takes her into his home to prevent her from staying in a mental hospital, a move which alienates his family and soon turns to obsession.
Sinekatalog’s take
A detective takes in a disfigured, mute woman, and his compassion curdles into obsession. This short horror leans on grisly makeup and a grim moral spiral, and works best for the strong-stomached.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
