Day 83 - The Wig (South Korean)

Sorry it's late again

"A young woman named Soo-hyeon (Chae Min-seo) is struggling against cancer and her older sister Ji-hyeon (Yoo Sun) decides that she should take her home so that she really can enjoy what little time she has left rather than to spend it in a hospital. Ji-hyeon is a mute, during a car accident which impaled her throat, she now cannot speak again and can only make rasping noises at the most, despite this, she is a very strong person and very caring for her little sister. She buys a long haired wig with bangs for her so that she can go out without having to feel ashamed of herself, what she doesn't know is that the wig is cursed. Soo-hyeon is so happy with the wig on, she begins to look and act a lot healthier and far more attractive. She leaves the house often, to take photos of herself at various locations."


An interesting horror movie once you read what it's about but the movie itself fails to live up to its potential. I was really looking forward to this film, I usually like Korean horror films but this one just didn't cut it. The emotions were there and so was the acting. Yet the script/storyline is the thing that dragged this movie down. I didn't like the older sister's boyfriend and how everything ties in with him really. This part made me think this was a remake of a Thai horror called Sick Nurses or just ripped off of it.
