With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone who wants something that moves them and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama. Sits nicely alongside House on Haunted Hill or Scream 2.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 46 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.
Su-hyeon, a patient with terminal cancer, gets a wig as a present from her sister, Ji-hyeon. Strange things happen as Su-hyeon wears the wig and horror starts to sweep over Ji-hyeon as she watches her sister getting slowly possessed.
