헤아비

1h 40min Director: Jung Se-um

A funeral director, Hae-ah's life falls apart after losing her husband in an accident on their wedding anniversary. Years later, still grieving, Hae-ah stumbles across a rural village and witnesses a ritual reviving the dead using a scarecrow. But there is a cost - you need someone else's heart to complete the ritual. Soon after, Hae-ah uses the dead bodies that enter her funeral home to bring back her husband, John, to life. However, their sweet reunion is cut short as, after a brief time, John returns to the state of a regular scarecrow. To keep this happy dream at all times, the sacrifice of a human heart is required regularly and she decides to do whatever it takes even if it means becoming a murderer.
