Moss
A dark tale of past deeds, uncovered secrets and revenge...
When Yu arrives in a remote rural village to settle the estate of his estranged father, he stumbles into a dark web of secrets and betrayals that have lain buried for thirty years.
The village is ruled over by its sinister chief, Cheon, a former police detective, and his cabal of reformed criminals - who seem to have both hated and feared Yu’s late father. It quickly becomes clear that Yu’s presence is not wanted – and that Cheon and the others are hiding something terrible. Soon the unwelcome visitor finds his life threatened as the truth becomes ever more obscured and allegiances shift beneath his feet...
Based on the hit Korean web comic of the same name, and featuring a star-turn from Jeong Jae-Yeon as the menacing and corrupt Cheon, Moss mixes thrilling suspense and dark humour with a brooding, tense atmosphere that calls to mind films such as The Wicker Man and David Lynch’s Blue Velvet.
