A perfume is found in the dressing table of a dead person. A boy is bullied because he can see ghosts. A girl is hosting an online livestream show of her friend being possessed by a spirit after her family member died. This film consists of five stories with diverse genres from ghost story to exorcism and mystery. The five episodes of different genres and various subject matter are completed as one full story with an extra one that opens and closes the film. The five episodes are the believers’ stories, which rookie reporter, Si Kyung, who is on an undercover mission, witnesses while attending a prayer service of a religious group. This clever structure not only connects all the stories as one, but also gives unity to the individual narratives, rather than them being separated and standing alone. What will be she offering at the end of the ritual that he secretly attended? > Story 1: "Stink" (악취) A woman killed herself by cutting off her ears. Da Hee ,who bought a dressing table without knowing it was hers, finds a perfume in the drawer. > Story 2: "A Child Who Sees Ghosts" (귀신보는 아이) Joon Ho, the song of a shaman, is being bullied by Do Jin's gang for the reason that he can see ghosts. He has to show them real ghosts to break free from the violence. > Story 3: "exorcism.net" (엑소시즘.넷) Hwa Yeong, a high school girl, is possessed by an evil spirit after her family's death. Her best friends Joo In and Eun Gi decide to let the world know about her through live broadcasting online and ask for a ceremony of exorcism. > Story 4: "The Person Who Lived" (전에 살던 사람) Ji Soo got her own room. That night when she was having a housewarming with her colleagues, a middle-aged woman came and knocked on her door. She warns the woman. Never take the talisman off her house. > Story 5: "String" (끈) A rainy night. Jae Seok wakes up to the sound of the alarm and finds that a hard string is tied to his neck.

Everything is possible

The synopsis says that this is an Omnibus movie with 5 short stories, but there is also a sixth one (Pieces – 토막) that is not mentioned, which connects all the other stories.

Each story has a different sub-theme of the supernatural, terrifying, and disgusting. The best element of the movie is the individual scenes where the viewer has to close their eyes because they are too repulsive/disgusting and hard to watch. There aren’t many of them, but each short story has at least one such shocking scene. The horror elements aren’t executed very well because they appear superficial. They try to scare the viewers with various clichés but lack clarity and authenticity. I found it interesting to watch the different themes that make each short segment and each story unique, and everything is quite well connected into one unity. This movie truly breaks the boundaries of what’s possible and just does whatever it wishes. The acting at times seems unconvincing, and as is the case with other horror movies, the characters' actions are often illogical. When I think about it, maybe the directors do this intentionally so that we, the viewers, get more involved in the movie, even if it’s by complaining about why the characters weren’t smarter or more cautious. Horror fans will probably appreciate this movie, despite its flaws, but I wouldn’t recommend it to the general public.
