This year’s Exhuma, directed by Jang Jae-hyun, tells the story of a mysterious case of a wealthy South Korean family living in California. For several generations, the family has been struggling with a curse that drives the newborn son mad. They contact a group of experts, shaman Hwa-Rim, her protégé Bong-Il, Feng-Shui expert Sang-Deok, and his long-time colleague Yeong-Geun, the owner of a funeral home.
This unconventional but charismatic group heads to the sacred mountains of Korea to explore the grave of the cursed family’s ancestor. Beneath the surface lies something far more terrifying than it initially seemed! This original film features stunning scenes of mysterious rituals and is enveloped in a dark atmosphere that keeps viewers in constant suspense. Occult genre specialist Jang Jae-hyun is not afraid of anything and scares the audience with increasingly brutal scenes. In its two hours, Exhuma will simply not let you catch your breath!
