In DEVIL, from South Korea, Lord Choi is expecting his second child. However, a fall from his horse brings him to the verge of death the exact moment the new baby is born. That night, he prays to a goblin, hoping to save his life, and his wish comes true. In return, the goblin vows to claim his daughter’s life on her sixteenth birthday. Lord Choi is willing to do whatever it takes to protect her from this dangerous curse, facing this evil monster who threatens them. DEVIL is a tragic, emotional story about family and grief, fused brilliantly with director Park Hye-min’s animation, gazing into the lore of ancient Korea. – Steven Lee
