Into the Mirror (South Korea, 2003)

After accidentally causing the death of his partner during a hostage situation, Wu Young-min quits the police force to work for his uncle as head security of Dreampia, a shopping center. Dreampia is currently in the rebuilding stages as a fire destroyed parts of it five years ago. The re-opening was scheduled in a few days, until some strange murders begin to occur in the building. It seems that the victims, all employees of the mall, have committed suicide in very gruesome and unconventional ways.

Into the Mirror is a great murder mystery with some ghostly elements. For a horror film, it got some good character development and features lots of cool ways of shooting scenes by using mirrors which in other movies can be a huge trope but here it's warranted and done with excellency. 


Genre: Horror/Mystery
