Ji-yeon (Kim Do-yeon), a high school senior who dreams of becoming a film director but can’t manage to score higher than the 8th grade on her college entrance exams, stumbles upon a video tape from 1998. She learns that her senior classmates, who played hide and seek with a ghost in the school on the night of the school’s founding anniversary, eventually scored perfect marks on their college entrance exams! Determined, she and her friends decide to play hide and seek with the ghost themselves. Joining her are Hyun-jung (Kang Shin-hee), who can easily carry a heavy camera thanks to her immense strength; Eun-byul (Son Ju-yeon), an aspiring actress obsessed with her vlog despite having no subscribers; and Min-joo (Jeong Ha-dam), a Japanese culture otaku at an extraordinary level. Together, they face the ghost in an extraordinary manner. At every potentially clichéd moment, they call out “cliché!” “melodrama!” and “jump scare!” to preemptively tackle triteness and sublimate the genre’s stereotypes and weaknesses into humor, making it impossible not to laugh. Successfully transforming the common setting of a school horror into an irresistibly funny comic horror film, the grand finale adorned by Jeong Ha-dam as Min-joo is particularly captivating. This is a feature film by director Kim Min-ha, who has showcased excellent humor in his shorts Red Mask KF94 (2022) and Burger Song Challenge (2023). (PARK Got)
