Why this film matters
Devoured (삼킬수록) builds horror out of familiar, unglamorous places. Each segment takes a space in a Korean city and turns it grotesque, and the organiser’s synopsis stresses colour as structure: clinical whites, blue light, dreamlike reds and murky greens. The idea that what you consume ends up consuming you gives four very short pieces a shared moral and visual logic.
Summer Pause released the omnibus as a single vertical video. The makers report wins in the AI micro-series category at WAIFF Seoul and at the WAIFF 2026 finale in Cannes, which the organiser’s prize list confirms as Best AI Micro-Series.
Production evidence
