As soon as they arrived at their destination, the flower forest sensed the shadow of their ancestors looming over the family, the call of the grave.
Hwarim asks for help from the first-class feng shui master Sang-deok (Choi Min-sik) and the funeral master Yeong-geun (Yoo Hae-jin).
The four of them found a grave in a remote village, and without knowing the consequences, they dug up the grave, but accidentally released the evil power buried underground......
Regarding Kim Go-eun's acting skills, Choi Min-sik also joked:
"I think the most exciting scene in this work is the scene of the flower forest jumping god.
Kim Go-eun is very enthusiastic, I wonder if she will go on a part-time job as a witch, she can't leave the film industry!"
Kim Go-eun jokingly responded: "I will try my best to live as an actor, and if not, I will consider it." 」
He added, "Dancing is a grand event, and there were rehearsals for a few days beforehand.
I often went to my teacher's house to learn the body movements and dance movements of the gods. 」
Lee Zhihui broke through the previous image in the film, showing the appearance of being covered in tattoos and reading scriptures.
This work is produced by director Jang Jae-hyun, who directed the blockbuster horror movies "Black Priests" and "Su Po He".
The director mentioned the starting point for making this film and said:
"When I was a kid in the countryside, I saw a burial ceremony where graves had to be relocated because of the construction of highways.
As far as I know, that tomb is more than a hundred years old, and people dug up the grave themselves, and I still remember the smell and color of the earth.
This work is not a religious film, but a depiction of the relationship between the land we live in and the people. 」
"Broken Tomb" not only has a huge reputation in South Korea, but also was selected for the 2024 Berlin Film Festival in Germany.
In addition to the wonderful cast, the thrilling plot and the meaning behind it are worth excavating.
