The world exclusive Blu-ray debut of the Korean horror classic SUDDENLY IN THE DARK! Limited Halloween Release! 500 copies! Numbered red case edition with an exclusive booklet!

A woman’s idyllic middle-class life is disrupted when her husband brings home a beautiful young orphan to be their maid. At first she welcomes the pretty girl, in fact seems oddly fixated on her, but soon comes to suspect the girl of having an affair with her husband. At the same time odd, unexplained incidents - most involving the maid’s mysterious wooden doll - began to make her question her own sanity. Soon it all spirals out of control as the film climaxes in a fever pitch of sexual jealousy, murder, and supernatural vengeance, all set to a pounding synth score.

Almost completely unknown outside of its home country, SUDDENLY IN THE DARK is one of the best examples of pre-millennial K-horror. It was made at a time when censorship law were being liberalized, igniting a boom in both horror and erotic films. Elements of both are present here, directed with bizarre flair by Go Yeong-nam in a style often compared to the wilder Italian films of the 70s and 80s.

Mondo Macabro is proud to present this classic of Korean horror on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in the world. Our presentation has been restored from the best available elements from the Korean Film Archive, and features brand new extras produced exclusively for this release.

Wow this site has like barely any titles meh. Bit 500 copies limited is intriguing.

[SpiderBaby]

It's an Indie label Mr. Peon, and been around since the VHS days.

Every release is great, and released by fans of the actual films (shocking I know).

Best label around IMO Mr. Peon.

Is this worth a blind buy or should I just wait till the retail release when it might be cheaper?

These Mondo Macabro 'limited releases' are variants of what will eventually be a cheaper general market release (sometime in 2017). The 'bonus' in this case is a red case (which was a Mondo Macabro trademark from DVD days), an exclusive booklet, the disc cover is numbered, and you get the movie earlier. Mondo Macabro is a label definitely worth supporting (who else would release an obscure 'vintage' Korean horror) but if your finances are short then there will likely be a cheaper edition down the pipe (Lizard in Woman's Skin and Symptoms are examples of prior Mondo Macabro limited releases that now have slightly more affordable general editions).

Are these pressed or BD-R?

The two Mondo Macabro Blu-Rays I own are both pressed. I don't see them changing that up here.

Is this for sure going to get a standard type release later on? Or is that just what one would assume since past Mondo Macabro releases were like that.

I really want this release, but damn if my spending has been out of control lately, so I'd be down to wait for a vanilla release of this.

The article that was on the front page of this site said this:

"A retail release in a standard case without the booklet will be available sometime in Spring 2017."
