With a translated title that's as blunt and direct as it gets, TEENAGE HOOKER BECAME KILLING MACHINE IN DAEHAKRO is classic grindhouse sleaze distilled through a Y2K aesthetic. Lee So-woon stars in her first and only film role as a teenage girl given a second chance at life through brutal reconstruction. These new gifts propel her into a vengeful murder spree as she hunts for the perverse teacher (Kim Dae-tong) who killed her. Director Nam Ki-woong wore several hats when he made this picture, and his glowing DV cinematography paired with an entrancing trip-hop influenced score results in what might just be the coziest splatter movie in film history. Spectacle is proud to unleash one of the more operatic examples in extreme cinema to a new generation of tech-infused, bloodthirsty, sophisticated sickos.

The absolute garishness of early digital video pushed to its limit. I honestly kind of love this.

One of those rare films who seems to be constant[ly] reinventing its forms, it remains one of the great found objects of the 00’s.
