This is the ninth film in the Stuttgart Nights Festival.
The film takes place in a large South Korean apartment building. Two sisters,
Ju-Hee and Ju-Yung, share an apartment on the sixth floor. They don't get on
well together. Ju-Yung has been away for a few days. It's not said where she
was. With a friend? With a lover? It doesn't matter. What matters is that
Ju-Yung receives a phone call to tell her that her sister hasn't been seen for
four days, so she returns to look for her.
Ju-Yung is almost deaf and can only hear with the help of a hearing age, so
she doesn't notice at first that there are loud noises in the apartment. The
neighbour from the apartment below repeatedly visits and threatens to kill her
if she doesn't stop making noise. But the noise is coming from the seventh
floor. Loud banging.
The film has an unsettling atmosphere. It reminds me of
"Dark Water". Is it a person making the noise? Or a ghost? Or several ghosts? The mystery
slowly unravels.
A criticism I have is that the plot isn't as simple as "Dark Water". There are
too many unnecessary complications. But I still want to watch it again.
