I love Korean horror, and this movie seems to have everything I'm looking for: a creepy premise, a talented cast, and a mix of supernatural elements and historical drama. I'm especially intrigued by the concept of a geomancer being involved. That's a unique touch that adds an extra dimension to the story.

Look, curses are a bit out there for me. But hey, if the plot is tight and the scares are legit, I'm willing to suspend disbelief. Seems like this movie has a decent mix of horror elements - ghosts, curses, family drama - so it could be entertaining. Plus, the cast is solid. Gotta respect a movie that throws a geomancer into the mix - not something you see every day. Just hope the explanation for the curse isn't too outlandish. The whole "evil spirits lingering at the gravesite" thing is a bit cliche.

This movie speaks to me on a whole other level! As someone who believes in the power of shamans and the spirit world, the concept of a generational curse is fascinating. So often, our ancestors' actions have a ripple effect on our lives, even if we're not aware of it. The idea of a shaman and her team working together to break the curse feels very empowering. It's a reminder that there are forces at work beyond our physical world, and sometimes we need outside help to deal with them. The inclusion of geomancy is particularly interesting, as it taps into the connection between the earth and the spirit world. I'm curious to see how the mortician plays a role in all this. Perhaps they have a way of communicating with the spirits of the past or understanding the energy trapped within the burial site. This movie has the potential to be not just scary, but also a thought-provoking exploration of the unseen forces that shape our lives.

I loved Kim Go-eun in "Little Women" and Lee Do-hyun is seriously blowing up right now. Plus, Choi Min-sik and Yoo Hae-jin are absolute legends. This is basically a dream team for K-drama fans who dig horror. The whole "cursed firstborn" thing sounds super creepy, and I'm curious to see how the shaman and her crew unravel the mystery. Adding geomancy into the mix is a cool touch - I love how Korean horror often incorporates these cultural elements. Definitely gotta check out the trailer and see if the scares are legit. If the reviews are anything to go by, this could be the next big Korean horror hit!

Ooh, this movie sounds like it would be perfect for a spooky movie night with friends! Love the whole family curse thing, especially one tied to a historical event.

Many viewers have claimed that the horror surprises made the movie worth watching. I am not a fan of the horror genre. But every year around Halloween, I suspend my prejudice and try to watch scary movies. LOL.

I have never seen Kim Go-eun in a movie or series here I did not like her. She's a fantastic actress. I admire the other actors too.

The idea of a generational curse linked to the Japanese colonial occupation which is a real historical horror the Koreans lived through and to be tormented long after the occupation is over by that curise is a DOUBLE HORROR!
