Frankie recommends... Holy Boy - Lee Heejoo

Frankie says... This is a brutal, creeping meditation on obsession. Almost a gender swapped Lolita narrative, based on the warped reasoning behind the kidnap of a K-pop idol by four women, this story is totally unexpected, chilling and disgusting. Slow-paced, reflective and full of psychotic characters, this kidnap thriller will stay with you long after you finish. Heejoo gets inside the mind of these deranged fans and what follows is nothing short of bone-chilling murder... Excellent atmospheric, cerebral horror!

One idol.
Four fans.
Worship's never been bloodier.

Yosep is a K-pop idol with millions of adoring fans. But for four of them, a poster on the wall just won't cut it. They have a plan-a perfect, foolproof plan-to get their idol all to themselves.

Kidnapping Yosep seemed like the ultimate act of love.

But inside a secluded mansion, plagued by paranoia and with their grip on reality slowly loosening, the women use increasingly disturbing strategies to keep Yosep in their possession. As their angel's halo slips and their perfect plan unravels, the women must fight not only to keep him, but to keep their secret buried - at all costs
