Make Yourself at Home (aka Fetish)

Directed by: Soopum Sohn
Runtime: 90 min
Year: 2009
Country: USA
Language: English and Korean w/ English subtitles

Set within a seemingly tranquil upper middle-class New Jersey suburb, Make Yourself at Home is the story of Sookhy (Hye-kyo Song), a beautiful, young Korean woman. She attempts to elude her shaman fate through a marriage arrangement that is her ticket to the United States. But what seems like the perfect plan to change her unwanted destiny soon becomes much more than Sookhy bargained for.

An overbearing mother-in-law and mama’s-boy husband drives Sookhy to find solace in her friendship with neighbors John and Julie. However, this friendship soon progresses into an intense obsession when a tragic accident and rumors of shamanism turn the community against Sookhy. Her shamanistic past fully manifests itself as she fiercely seeks to secure her future and relationship with John at any cost.

One of three films selected for the Gala Presentation category at the 2008 Pusan International Film Festival, Make Yourself at Home is filmmaker Soopum Sohn’s feature film directorial debut and stars Korean superstar Hye-kyo Song, in her English-language debut, and Austrian actor Arno Frisch. This psychological thriller will have audiences considering the fateful forces behind seemingly innocuous events.
