Jin, who plays the leading role, was named as a special mention in the Best Actress category.
"The movie unfolds a series of events without hesitation and gives the audience an extreme degree of tension," Steve Balshaw, senior programmer of Grimmfest, said. "It develops a narrative in a creative and unexpected way. The main character's last counterattack is enough to excite the audience."
