​Liminal

Sci-fi horror set in liminal spaces and a human-farming factory, fused with Chinatown-style film noir.

A homicide detective infiltrates an illegal human-farming facility to save his missing fiancée.

Synopsis

When his fiancée Anna — struck down by an incurable disease just before their wedding — goes missing, homicide detective Jin-woo begins to track her and learns that she was pregnant. Investigating a murder, he is shaken to find a heart matching Anna's DNA in the refrigerator of organ-trafficking suspect Kim Cheon-gu.

Digging into who is behind it, Jin-woo learns that Anna is still alive — and that Choi Hyun-shin, chairman of CSC, the pharmaceutical giant where she worked, is connected to all of it. Stripped of his authority to investigate, Jin-woo slips onto a remote island in the West Sea alone to find her.

Beneath the island lies a horrific facility that mass-produces human bodies — their brains used as biocomputers, their bodies for organ harvesting and live experiments. With the help of an Anna clone, Jin-woo fights through the clones controlled by Chairman Choi and finally rescues his fiancée.

But Jin-woo realizes that Chairman Choi has lured him into a much bigger trap.
