Confession

Jihoon, the main character, guards the art museum alone. There is nothing for him to do other than sitting at the desk, answering phones, or organizing the museum. The museum is an empty space with only an Egyptian wooden coffin lying around. Only one or two people visit the museum a day. People who come are diverse, including women in their late 30s, Japanese, and middle-aged men. At night, visitors call the museum and make excuses for their deaths. Just three days after starting to guard the museum, Jihoon becomes distraught and crazy due to the strange energy of the wooden coffin and the museum and the incoming phone calls, so he quits working at the museum.

Directed by Kim Han-bum, Confession leans on a strong ensemble — Lee Seung-soo, Kim Hyun-jeong, Park Ji-soo — 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 horror titles of 2022.
