Plot
[edit]Kim So-yeon is a South Korean reporter who is contacted by Park Sang-joon, an old childhood friend, who has recently escaped from the mental institution he has been in since age 10 and gone on a serial killing spree. Sang-joon asks So-yeon to bring along a Japanese cameraman (Tashiro), and after the two arrive at the rendezvous spot in Seoul, Sang-joon calls to tell them to enter an abandoned apartment complex. After entering the building, Sang-joon appears and forces the pair at knife-point into an apartment, telling the cameraman to never stop recording on the threat of death. So-yeon begins questioning Sang-joon about his reasons for the killings. Sang-joon shows So-yeon a video he took of the accident that led to his institutionalisation, which was their shared friend Yoon-jin being hit by a car. He explains that ever since the accident, a god has been telling him to kill 27 people at age 27 in a ritual that will bring back Yoon-jin and the 27 people. He asks So-yeon and the reporter to document the final two murders to show that the ritual is real.
