Sophie Park (Amy Keum), a young Korean American woman, wants to learn more about her heritage. Every other girl at her college knows where they come from. However, Sophie’s family doesn’t even speak Korean. There’s a reason: her grandmother (Vana Kim) once fought a curse, and now, it has reawakened for our heroine.

Directed by Réi and written by Regina Kim, this finds Sophie asking her parents, Gabriel (Joseph Lim Kim) and Kelly (Eliza Shin), to tell her more about her family and Korea. Grandmother won’t allow this to happen. That said, she gets a new boyfriend, Jun (Kevin Woo), and, aside from dealing with her roommate Ari (Alice Bang), everything seems fine.

Then she brings Jun home, and her grandma goes nuts.

This brings in a lot of things I haven’t seen in horror: Japan and Korea’s complicated history, the power of Korean names and family history, and how ghosts tie into all of that. The evil man in the hat looks incredible, too. This movie should definitely be on your watch list, as it’s a lot better than your average streaming horror movie. Plus, it’s just 81 minutes.

You can watch this on Tubi.
