The movie is an expanded version of the series. I was so in love with the series that I decided to watch this when it aired.

Reporter Im Jin-Hee receives a mysterious call while on a live programme where a strange voice warning her about a murder happening soon. The caller claims to be the culprit behind the mysterious murder, and requests Jin-hee to interview him live on camera. With the police on standby and the excited public turning in, the man appears for the interview as promised. He warns of three more murders to come, which will be carried out by revived corpses. Then he himself rots, right in front of Jin-Hee.

Then the murder starts happening. The body of a murder suspect is discovered next to victim at the crime scene. The  thing is - the murderer has been dead for a few months - meaning it is a zombie or Jaechaui.

Every murder after that involves Jaechaui.  

If you listen carefully, a bomoh from Indonesia involves in the awakening of the Jaechaui. 

What do they want and how to defeat the Jaechaui? 

 

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.5/ 5.0 As mentioned, an extension of the series. So, the plot is expected too.

Cast: 4.6/ 5.0 Everyone delivers, as per the series.

Will I Watch It Again: Somehow, I don't mind watching the series again. The movie, perhaps when I am in the mood.

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
