The Wig

The Asian horror boom has told countless hair-raising tales. However in his chilling directorial debut, Korean filmmaker Weon Shin-yeon gives the shaggy metaphor its ultimate apotheosis. Mute Ji-hyeon (Yu Seon) is caretaker to a younger sister, Su-hyeon (Chae Min-seo), who is suffering from terminal leukemia. After donning a wig given to her by her sister, Su-hyeon suddenly feels better, starts displaying uncharacteristic behavior and sees grisly hallucinations, forcing Ji-hyeon to wonder whether the mysterious coiffure may be possessed.
