In 2025, South Korea’s most daring suspense film, “The Human Poison,” challenges boundaries once again by remaking the Colombian hit thriller “The Dark Side!” This is Park Ji Hyeon’s most boundary-pushing film yet, with a plot so explosive and morals so twisted that even island films pale in comparison. Prepare to be blown away by the intensity of this film – a must-watch for women for its eye-opening content!
When a woman’s best friend falls for her husband and locks herself in a soundproof and riot-proof room to stay by his side, the woman, trapped inside, struggles to survive. Despite being just a wall apart, they seem worlds away. Starving in the room, she watches her best friend and husband’s intimacy every night. No matter how she struggles, no sound can be heard from the outside!
“Stay in there forever!” After relentless exploration, she finally discovers a duct in the room that controls the outside water pipes. Seeing this, she hatches a plan. Yet, the two outside fail to notice anything amiss, shattering her hopes of escape once again.
It seems that the tragic fate of the woman inside is already sealed!
With moldy bread running out, she can only hide in the room, waiting for death to come. As time passes, her husband, not giving up on finding her, eventually catches sight of her abnormal photo. Through the camera’s reflection, he sees a figure behind the mirror. It is only then that Xiao Li realizes that the mysterious disappearance of the woman may not be so simple?
With a trial in mind, Xiao Li goes to the house of the woman’s best friend, Mei Zhu. When she is not looking, he unlocks the phone on the table, only to find a photo of the two of them together? Faced with Xiao Li’s questions, Mei Zhu puts on an innocent facade. But when he returns home that day, he discovers a shocking secret: the faucet, which was perfectly fine, suddenly starts leaking water.
Xiao Li seems to sense something? After continuous probing, he finally discovers the anomaly in the mirror. At that moment, the woman’s heart feels a sense of relief, thinking she is about to be rescued. But at the last moment, Xiao Li hesitates. Because of his and Mei Zhu’s ugly affair, the woman has definitely witnessed it all. If he lets her out like this, he will surely ruin his reputation!
After much deliberation, the husband in front of the mirror can only reluctantly give up. As a few more days pass, the woman, lacking food and water, cannot hold on much longer in the room. Thinking of the woman who endured hardships with him, the husband finally realizes a hint of conscience. After discussing with Mei Zhu, they decide to release her, and the next moment, they push open the iron door of the room.
By this time, the woman is barely alive. Mei Zhu approaches, only to be tackled by the seemingly dead woman. Even the husband, pulling up his pants, fails to recognize her, while Mei Zhu collapses after hitting the wall. Finally, the lovers reunite, while the despicable Mei Zhu remains forever locked in the room. Though the woman endured inhuman treatment, she chose not to seek revenge on Mei Zhu!
Mei Zhu not only has food and drink, but also all the necessities of life. And the reason the woman did all this was simply to please herself. With such daring and explosive content, let your imagination run wild…
