Hey what’s up guys. Today I’ll show you a Korean Thriller and Horror film:
“Killer Toon”! Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins with Yoon, a well-known horror web-toon artist,
finishing up her last comic titled The Black Veil, and using her blood to sign the masterpiece.
She then sends the manuscript to her publisher. the publisher grabs a cup of coffee, and heads
back toward her workstation. She then takes a sip on her way back, smiling. Later she’s taken aback,
when she sees the image on her computer screen. The comic Yoon sent seems to mirror her life in
every detail. She sits down, and sees the image on the screen that she is sitting down on as well.
She scrolls down; and the comic takes her back to her elementary graduation in 19 87.
At that very moment, a young boy asks her out; but before she can answer, a commotion occurs.
The people around start murmuring; and the center of attention is a woman wearing a black veil,
to cover the rotting flesh off her face. The black-veiled woman is the publisher’s mom. The
kids call the publisher’s mom the black monster and a ghost, due to her appearance. This causes
so much embarrassment for the publisher that when she returns home, she destroys one of her mom’s
photos, and wishes for her mom’s death. After the publisher’s mom sees the photo, she hangs herself.
the publisher has every chance to help her as her mother hangs herself; but she changes her
mind and lets her mom die, after she recalls the humiliation she felt. the publisher looks
away in tears, as her mom passes away behind her. That exact image of her is shown on her screen,
as if someone took a photo when the incident happened. the publisher is terrified by that.
the publisher immediately grabs her phone, and tries to contact Yoon, but can’t reach her.
the publisher leaves a voicemail, asking how Yoon discovered the secret of her mother’s death.
Before she can send the voicemail, the lights in the office turn off; and the motorized blinds
and shades roll down. Sensing the danger, she immediately grabs a cutter. The web-toon continues
to scroll down, and shows the same exact image of what’s happening. the publisher runs for the exit,
but finds herself trapped. She is then brutally killed by an unknown entity.
two detectives, Detective-in-charge and his partner, are called to investigate the publisher’s
death. the partner reports that she died at 1 in the morning, and was alone when the brutal murder
happened. Her body was discovered by a janitor 5 hours later. Detective-in-charge is convinced that
she committed suicide, as there’s no evidence that another person was with her when she was killed.
the partner reminds him not to jump to a conclusion, but instead dig deep
and find out if someone is behind her death. Detective-in-charge then informs him that he’d
be handling the case. As he walks away, a female detective calls him to check the image on the
publisher’s computer. It shows a comic, where a dead girl is lying on the floor, the same
exact position as the publisher’s dead body. Meanwhile, Yoon is driving her car, when suddenly
a little girl appears out of nowhere. Yoon immediately steps on the brakes. To her surprise,
the girl is not there anymore. A knock on her left window, startles Yoon. It’s the same girl
she passed by earlier. She lowers the window, and asks why she’s alone in the middle of the night.
The girl explains that she’s running errands. The little girl then asks Yoon to give her a ride.
As they drive on, Yoon asks the girl for her age; and the girl responds that she’s 16. Yoon smirks,
knowing that she’s lying. To Yoon, the girl looks like she’s around 10. But the girl isn’t lying;
she mentions that she was 10 when she died, and that was six years ago. This scares Yoon a lot.
As she faces her, the little girl is no longer in the passenger seat. She steps on the brake
to process what just happened. Her car radio then turns on; and she hears a voice asking for help.
Yoon then immediately exits her car. As she’s standing in front of her car in shock,
someone grabs her hand, which causes a laceration on her index finger. She loses her ring in the
process. She then rushes back to the car, shaking. As she looks at the rearview mirror, the little
girl appears. The next thing she knows, Yoon finds herself parking by the side of the road.
She’s not sure if what happened is real; but she can see a scar on her index finger.
Later, Yoon sees a therapist to help her figure out the recent episode she experienced.
She’s told that what she’s suffering is called Alice-In-Wonderland Syndrome.
It’s a syndrome where a person doesn’t know whether they are living in reality or fantasy.
The therapist then advises Yoon that rest is the best remedy that she can do.
Meanwhile, the coroner is surprised that there’s no sign that the publisher was attacked,
despite the fatal wounds she suffered. Even the prints on the knife are hers. As he is
talking to Detective-in-charge, the coroner adds that the cause of death is the severing
of her carotid artery, using the knife she was holding. The coroner then admits that insanity
is the only explanation he could come up with, for someone to inflict such pain on herself.
With the new information coming to light, Detective-in-charge is not convinced.
Later, Detective-in-charge convinces their Police Chief that the publisher was murdered.
He also mentions that the murder has the potential to become gigantic news,
as the comic appears to portray real-life deaths, which can be huge for them as detectives.
Moments later, the partner keeps Detective-in-charge up to speed,
and tells him that he has already informed the victim’s family. The family finds no reason to
believe that she’d be able to hurt herself. Since the coroner already ruled the death as suicide,
the partner asks for permission to make a final report about it. He adds that he has a child
on the way, and must file for paternity leave. Detective-in-charge shuts it down,
as he’s convinced that it was not a suicide. Meanwhile, Yoon is relaxing by the pool,
when she notices that someone’s at the door. She opens the door; and the publisher tells
her that she left her phone off. Yoon walks back in; but as she faces the publisher back,
her face is full of blood and wounds. Yoon then wakes up from what appears to be a dream. As
she struggles to get up, her entire body is paralyzed. the publisher then walks toward
her holding a knife, and aims for her eye. Yoon then wakes up. It was a dream within a dream.
Soon after, Detective-in-charge and his partner pay Yoon a visit. They tell her that the publisher
died of a supposed suicide. Yoon is devastated by the news, but refuses to believe that her
publisher committed suicide. Detective-in-charge asks her if she does her web-toon at home.
He then shows her the photo of her manuscripts, which resemble the actual crime scene.
She assures the detectives that only she and the publisher have access to the manuscripts.
Detective-in-charge then informs her that she’s the last person that the publisher called.
He then shows her the autopsy photos of the publisher. Detective-in-charge
then says that judging by her wounds, he does not believe the publisher took her own life,
given the suffering she must have felt. The officers listen to the last voicemail
that the publisher left. She was telling Yoon that she received the manuscript, but wanted to
know how she found out the way the publisher’s mother died. The voicemail was then cut off,
as that was the time when she got killed. Later that night, the partner shows
Detective-in-charge that he got a hold of the publisher’s diary.
It’s identical to the comic written by Yoon. They’re starting to tie some loose ends.
Meanwhile, the mortician and his assistant at a police hospital, are in their vehicle when
they receive a call about a man, who died from electrocution. With his assistant having plans
for the night, the mortician handles the dead body alone, and notices that it shifts position
by itself. He is convinced that he is just drunk. He then grabs a tablet, and reads the
web-toon read by his assistant when they were in the vehicle. As he proceeds to the next page, he
sees himself and his dark past, which shows how he killed his wife, after getting fed up with taking
care of her. The mortician attempts to leave the morgue; but the dead man grabs him from behind.
As soon as he frees himself, he holds a sharp tool, and tries to hit the dead body. He hears
a voice, telling him to leave the dead body alone. The door then closes, locking him in. Blood then
starts to come out from the storage of the dead bodies. One storage opens. He approaches it,
and tries to check using a lighter; but someone snatches him before he can see what’s inside.
He grabs his phone to light up the storage. A dead body wrapped in linen, appears on top of him,
and covers the helpless mortician. Blood starts to come out of the dead body’s face. Eventually,
the dead body’s face is exposed. It’s the mortician’s deceased wife.
On the other side, after the similarities of photos, Yoon figures out the next victim,
and rushes toward the police hospital, trying to save the mortician. Yoon manages to open the door,
and yank the mortician out of the storage room; but the mortician’s dead wife breaks his neck,
killing him instantly. The detectives arrive a little too late; and because they can’t see the
ghost, the detectives are confident that Yoon killed the mortician. As the prime suspect,
Yoon is arrested and interrogated. Later, Yoon explains that what she wrote was
just a figment of her imagination. It was all a fantasy. Detective-in-charge is having difficulty
believing her explanation, as all the evidence leads to her. Sensing that she’s in deep trouble,
she has no choice but to admit that the drawings are not hers, to begin with. An anonymous sender
sent her the pictures; and because she liked them, she copied them, not knowing that the drawings
were based on actual events. The detectives now need to find out the sender of the drawings.
Meanwhile, the partner is engrossed in a comic. He’s shocked to find out that the web-toon is
about his own dark secret. While celebrating a monumental milestone back then for getting into
the academy, he accidentally hit a girl with his car. it turns out, she’s the same 10-year-old girl
that Yoon encountered earlier. He was on the phone speaking with her girlfriend, when the accident
happened. He proposed to her on the phone. At present, the partner is able to trace
the location of the sender. He is warned by the locals that the building where the sender resides,
is haunted. the sender, nick-named Psychic-Girl, is known in the area as the possessed,
and has the ability to talk to ghosts. One time, she drew a kid and how she’d die; and it turns
out that kid died precisely as she drew. The authorities are now aware that Yoon,
the mortician, and Psychic-Girl used to live in the same building. Detective-in-charge confronts
Yoon as she’s the only one alive at this point, and takes her back to the building. Yoon explains
how she met Psychic-Girl. Psychic-Girl was a different kid, and was bullied a lot.
One time, she witnessed many kids insulting, and physically harming Psychic-Girl.
so Yoon went to protect her. That was the start of their friendship. Yoon also explains
that Psychic-Girl was framed for the fire in the building, which resulted in her being kicked out.
While eating out with the detective, Yoon receives a text from Psychic-Girl, who wants to meet her.
Yoon then steals Detective-in-charge’s car, and heads toward their meeting place.
Yoon soon arrives; but someone comes from behind and knocks her out.
Meanwhile, Detective-in-charge asks his partner to report back, and help him in capturing Yoon.
Detective-in-charge then calls his partner; and after a brief exchange, Detective-in-charge
wonders how his partner knew they were in front of the restaurant, when the partner
wasn’t even there. Detective-in-charge manages to trace Yoon’s location; but he’s too late.
The person who attacked Yoon earlier, turns out to be the partner, who now knows that he
can be exposed, as one of the comics is about the previous crime. the partner ties her to a chair,
in an effort to understand where Psychic-Girl is. When Yoon refuses to cooperate, the partner
threatens to hit her with an ax. Suddenly, He recalls the moment when he hit that little
girl. He had the chance to save her while she was stuck under the car; but when he heard his
girlfriend telling him that her dad approved of his marriage proposal, he changed his mind,
because he can’t afford his police record and marriage to be ruined by this accident.
the partner is not convinced that Yoon does not know where Psychic-Girl is. Because Yoon refuses
to cooperate, he has no other choice but to kill her. He puts her to the ground, and is on the
verge of murdering her. but then the partner hears the voice of a girl, asking for help.
The lights then start to flicker; and an image of the dead little girl appears out of nowhere.
He grabs his gun, and empties his chamber; but the girl is not there anymore. At that very moment,
Detective-in-charge arrives and discovers Yoon on the floor. He sees his partner point the gun
at his head. the partner begs for help, as his hand is being controlled by the ghost.
Detective-in-charge tries to get closer to him, and asks him to think about his unborn child.
the partner explains that he’s not intentionally pointing a gun at his head.
A loud gunshot then echoes. In the end, the partner dies from a bullet in the head.
the police chief verifies the information that he got with Detective-in-charge. He asks if the
partner killed himself. Detective-in-charge explains that it was not due to suicide,
as he is certain that it was some unseen force that pulled the trigger. This does not sit well
with the chief, as such a story would be hard to explain to the media and his superiors. The chief
orders Detective-in-charge not to tell anybody, especially the reporters on the crime scene.
Later, Detective-in-charge is handed a drawing, and is told that his partner is interested in it.
He sees a name on the drawing, and remembers that the partner mentioned the name to him
before being killed. He now recalled that his partner proposed to check the other comic books,
as there might be other similar cases. He did not take him seriously at that time;
but he knows what’s at stake right now. Meanwhile, Yoon receives a new email. This time,
the drawings are stories about her beginning when she met Psychic-Girl. The manuscript also reveals
what Psychic-Girl told Yoon back then, and how she began to talk to the ghosts. it turns out,
the mortician was Psychic-Girl’s abusive father. Every time her father became abusive, the young
Psychic-Girl would hide in the morgue, until she began to speak with ghosts of those dead people;
that’s how she can predict the death stories related to those dead people.
Desperate to get a break from her dying career, Yoon took advantage of it, and started copying
the Psychic-Girl stories of the dead. However, Psychic-Girl did not like the idea of publishing
them, as they were stories of dead people. Psychic-Girl then decides to burn the drawings,
as Yoon is obsessed with publishing them for the world to see. Yoon loses her mind,
and hits Psychic-Girl with a figurine when she tries to stop her. Eventually, when Psychic-Girl
still refuses to give up the drawings, Yoon chokes the life out of Psychic-Girl.
A flashback from the past. While being interviewed, Yoon reveals that she doesn’t believe
in ghosts, and only uses them as a metaphor to divulge an individual’s darkest secrets.
Currently, Detective-in-charge tracks Yoon’s location; but she’s not ready to give up.
She hits him with an ax; but the detective survives. After Yoon stabs the detective
in the leg, he shoots her back; but she’s not mortally wounded. The two confront each other
about their greed. Yoon kills Psychic-Girl to get recognized; and Detective-in-charge also makes a
mortal mistake. the drawings on the wall show how Detective-in-charge accidentally killed his
partner, after stopping him from committing suicide. He killed his partner by accident,
but he just made it look like a suicide case, and chose to keep the secret to himself to save
his career. and now, Detective-in-charge is meant to kill Yoon, because she might witness
how he killed his partner accidentally and framed the suicide case. In the end,
Yoon walks away, while the partner shows up before Detective-in-charge for revenge.
Then Detective-in-charge is taken control to aim his gun at his head, ending his life.
