Programmer's Pick

This is pure women-in-prison pulp, with sadistic authority figures, desperate alliances, and escape plans gone awry. Shin Sang-ok doesn’t shy away from the genre’s signature cruelty or its rebellious spirit. If you like your melodrama served with shackles and steel bars, this one’s got your number.
