A World War II hospital is the setting for this South Korean psychological horror film. The story confusingly shifts from a squeamish young morgue intern to another doctor trying to aid a young girl whose parents died in a car accident, and then to another doctor who suspects his wife of being a ghost. Some of the confusion is deliberate; we are meant to wonder who is a ghost and who is alive. By the end, I understood some of what happened. But, despite some creepy imagery and sounds, and a few genuine scares, I found the film too incoherent to enjoy.
