After a mysterious mold starts spreading across the surface of an abandoned mattress, a sentient creature begins to take shape from within. Feasting on its unsuspecting victims' vertebrae while they rest, the creature grows stronger, finding nourishment not only in the bones and sinew it assimilates but also in the hopes, fears, and emotions of all those it encounters. Hailed as both "innovative" and a "new kind of creature feature" (The Austin Chronicle), Syeyoung Park's THE FIFTH THORACIC VERTEBRA is a "melancholic, monstrous romantic horror" (Projected Figures) that is "as weird as it is unique" (Asian Movie Pulse).
