The Cursed: Dead Man's Prey

Following a brutal murder case, the police are baffled to find out that the assailant, whose body was found on the scene with the victim, had already been dead for three months. Meanwhile, journalist Jin-hee sets up a live interview with an anonymous caller claiming he is the true killer behind the mysterious murder. When the man announces three more murders will occur in the hands of the undead, Jin-hee must face the sinister forces beyond understanding.

Directed by Kim Yong-wan, The Cursed: Dead Man's Prey leans on a strong ensemble — Uhm Ji-won, Jung Zi-so, Jung Moon-sung — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2021.
