4 Horror Tales

FEBRUARY 29
AKA 2 wol 29 il
Dir. Jung Jong Hoon

Ji-yeon, a toll-gate ticket girl, is frightened by a mysterious black car, which pays a bloodstained ticket fee at midnight. Her fear deepens after her colleague, Jong-sook, tells her that 12 years earlier a prisoner transport vehicle caused a traffic accident wherein all the prisoners involved died – and some of the corpses disappeared.

Afterwards, a murder occurred near the toll-gate on February 29th every four years. Soon, odd events become increasingly frequent, usually involving a doppelgänger of Ji-yeon.

When Jong-sook is killed on the fateful February 29th, Ji-yeon – with the help of two detectives – starts looking into matters herself.

FORBIDDEN FLOOR
AKA: Nebeonjjae cheung; Hidden Floor
Dir. Kwon Il Soon

Min-young moves onto the fifth floor of a new studio apartment with her six-year-old daughter, Joo-hee. She's concerned when her downstairs neighbour, HAN Chang-soo, says that he cannot tolerate the noise above him, even though the two women live tranquilly.

Furthermore, she is anxious about other residents' strange behaviours – never mind the mysterious deaths. Min-young hardens herself mentally after the move into the new house, largely because of her daughter's unprecedented odd behaviour and continual run-ins with a bizarre woman.

Convinced that Joo-hee has fallen sick and perturbed by the mysterious events around the studio apartment, Min-young looks to disclose the truth by herself...

ROOM MATES
AKA: D-Day
Dir. Kim Eun Kyung

Roommates Yoo-jin, Eun-soo, Bo-ram, and Da-young are cramming for a college entrance exam. It's difficult for them to adapt to the stifling atmosphere of the women's lodging institute – and to get along with each other due to their differing personalities.

Yoo-jin has the most difficulty with the stuffy institute life; she begins to have visions of events that took place at the institute in the past – like the tragic fire that occurred years ago.

Yoo-jin gradually becomes consumed with fear, and the relationship among the four intimate friends begins to suffer.

DARK FOREST
AKA Jookeumeui soop
Dir. Kim Jung Min

Woo-jin, Jung-ah and three other trekkers merrily depart for a mountain climbing trip. On the way into a forest – a forest which is off-limits – Se-Eun and Joon-hoo are wounded and the group is faced with a serious obstacle: they are disconnected from any area where a cell phone is available and effectively cut off from the world.

Jung-ah is particularly uneasy; she is unwillingly able to see the future, a residual influence of her shaman parents. The stranded, frightened party soon has an opportunity to discover the forest's startling secrets...
