Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This predates Japan's 'Onryo' boom by years, yet remains obscure outside Korea despite influencing the entire female-vengeance-ghost subgenre.

Trivia

Director Kwon Cheol-hwi made this during a brief window when Korean horror could be commercially viable before government censorship tightened in 1970s.
