Program Note
Terrified by a strange phenomenon at home, the protagonist in Sleep Paralysis: A Demonic Visitation feels helpless as he doesn’t know if it’s a dream or reality. This central character is a journalist who has to meet a deadline for writing an article on missing children. The final scene explores the fact fear is created within, which might come as a relief to some shocked viewers
but for people who work to deadlines, the ending might be quite horrific. (HWANG Hye-min)
