Plot

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.

Sinekatalog’s take

A dying woman's new wig seems to possess her, frightening her sister. The Korean horror relies on creeping unease and a bleak sense of loss. Atmospheric, though a bit predictable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
