karaoke crazies

Addiction Karaoke, run by Sung-Wook, is in a rut: business is slow and the mood is gloomy. Enter Ha-Suck, a hopeless game addict in her 20’s who Sung-Wook hires as a hostess. She turns out to be the good luck charm that the business needs, and as their fortunes improve, the duo is joined by Na-Ju, an expert hand in the business. As the three of them adjust to work with each other, unbeknownst to all a serial killer has started to operate in the area and has his eyes set on the doors of Addiction Karaoke. Their clash will be bloody… Marking the return of Kim Sang-Chan (Highway Star) to filmmaking after a nine year hiatus, KARAOKE CRAZIES is a madcap, brilliant ride that deftly mixes humor, horror and more. Featuring a stellar cast, brilliant comedy, the most outrageous scene in any film this year and a vicious, violent serial killer, this is the film that you’ll remember long after the fest has ended!
