Synopsis
Yim Pil-sung's Korean horror draws its inspiration from the classic fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, but switches the protagonists' roles and also adds hefty doses of the surreal and the supernatural. Expectant father Eun-soo (Chun Jeong-myeong) is on his way to visit his ill mother, but crashes his car while having an argument on the phone with his girlfriend. He comes to in a deep, dark forest, where he is rescued by a young girl, who takes him deep into the trees to her home. Inside the unexpectedly bright and twee cottage, she introduces him to her family, who start to treat Eun-soo's minor injuries. But Eun-soo soon realises that the children are almost impossibly sweet and innocent, and wonders why their parents seem to be so wary of them. Then, when he decides it's time to leave and resume his journey, things start to get very, very bad for him, as he discovers the appalling truth behind the house in the woods..
