Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a supernatural horror film: "Tales from the Dark, Part 1 "
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie has three stories
The first story entitled, "Stolen Goods",
starts with a young ghost who is looking for a shelter to stay in
She tries her luck with a fat man, who keeps eating despite being full
Unluckily, he throws a bottle at her, which drives the young ghost to run away
an ill-fated broke man, named Mr Broke, living alone in a dark, narrow room,
is having a hard time sleeping
It seems like he's out of his mind, because he's talking with the two wide-eyed rag dolls,
blaming them for his insomnia
He just had a nap, when his alarm rings
He prepares for work, then puts the tools inside his bag
Afterward, he stops by a bakeshop that sells cheap bread
Unfortunately, due to a road accident, he arrives late at work, and that disappoints his boss
He tries to explain what happened; but the boss coldly fires him
He goes home with a heavy heart, thinking that life is unfair, for it left him with nothing
He then comforts himself by talking to the rag dolls
The next day, he goes to a restaurant where he works as a server
The owner complains about his work
Then he goes out for a while;
but the owner gets mad, thinking that he's resting in the middle of his duty
Eventually, she heartlessly fires him
Mr Broke goes out to give something to the young ghost, indicating that he's aware the ghosts exist
Despite living a poor life, he doesn't want to rely on the benefit from the government
Before heading home, he drops by the bakeshop to buy some bread
but to his surprise, the price has already increased
He goes home very disappointed, and endlessly rants to the rag dolls
Soon after, a headline in the newspaper catches his attention,
the grave of a tycoon's wife was dug out
He then thinks of a way to earn some quick cash
Immediately, he goes to the cemetery to steal the bone-ash urns of the dead,
and asks their relatives to redeem it from him
He feels it unfair that even the dead still have a place to stay;
while he who is still alive, has no shelter
Mr Broke begins to destroy the tomb of his first target
Then he lights the match to kill a centipede
Surprisingly, another centipede sticks to his shoe, which he immediately steps on
After getting the urn, he leaves a note with his phone number written on it,
and the amount he's asking for
As he steals, the ghosts are just silently watching him
As soon as he arrives home, he puts the urns on the shelf,
hoping that their family will contact him to pay the ransom
He then writes a spell on his hammer, believing that it would drive away the bad luck
The young ghost is just watching him, while he's doing his rituals
His phone rings soon; it's the son of one of those he stole an urn from
He tells Mr Broke that he'll not give him money,
because it's better to lose his father's ashes, since it's just a hassle to them
To his dismay, Mr Broke immediately gets the urn, and angrily flushes the ashes into the toilet
He remembers that he placed the urns on the bottom shelf;
but he's surprised to see that one of them is already on the top shelf
After a while, Mr Broke wakes up to the loud banging and voices,
asking if they can stay in his room; but he rejects them
He then stands on the chair, and peeks through the glass window at the door
but he's frightened when he sees a ghost
In shock, he loses his balance and falls, causing his head to bleed
Out of anger, he throws the hammer at the glass window, causing it to shatter
The ghosts run away in great fear of Mr Broke
Moments later, he receives a call from another dead's relative,
informing him that he wants to get the urn back
Mr Broke immediately goes to a restaurant, and patiently waits for the person
He hears the door open; but no one's there when he checks it
He's startled when a man introduces himself as the cousin of the urn owner
He exclaims that he's willing to deal with him,
because he doesn't want to add more grief to the dead's wife,
since she's still mourning the sudden death of her husband
The man then gives Mr Broke money in exchange for the urn
While he is counting it, the man asks him if he isn't afraid of ghosts
He bravely answers that being poor is much scarier than seeing ghosts
Unbeknownst to Mr Broke, the man takes a picture of him
Mr Broke is surprised to see that the man is no longer at the table,
and already stands at the restaurant's door
He then remembers the picture in the tomb,
and realizes that the man that he dealt with, is the ghost of the urn's owner
It's revealed that on the day of the accident,
the man tries to contact his wife to tell her that
the apartment owner agreed to deduct the selling price;
but his wife is busy working, so she just responds via text message
The man isn't able to reply, because the traffic light has already turned green
After a while, he immediately steps on the break to avoid the truck that overtakes him
Unfortunately, he's hit by a van which causes his tragic death
Surprisingly, the man's accident is the one that Mr Broke witnessed in the past
The man's wife is devastated by her husband's death;
so even if it's impossible, she leaves his phone inside the urn,
hoping to talk to him even for a short time
Meanwhile, Mr Broke gets angry to see what the man paid him is the fake money offered to the dead
It seems like he has already lost his mind,
because he burns the fake money in a bowl, and continuously stirs it with his hammer
The young ghost and other spirits are terrified of what's happening
Unluckily, the ashes end up in the fireworks,
causing Mr Broke to be burned alive inside his small room
Later on, the police find out the cemetery was robbed
Soon after, the wife arrives,
and is surprised to see that her husband's tomb is ruined; but the urn is still there
She cannot explain why her husband's phone isn't inside the urn anymore;
so she immediately turns it on, and sees the picture of Mr Broke,
that her husband took in the restaurant
It turns out, the young ghost has a twin sister; and they're living inside the rag dolls
The restaurant owner helps the twin ghosts to be reunited,
and punishes the fat man for his sins when he was still alive
The story ends with Mr Broke and the twin ghosts holding the rag dolls,
walking freely on the streets
The second story, entitled "A word in the Palm",
starts with a fortune teller who has the ability to see ghosts
The fortune teller is at the restaurant with his wife,
to inform her that he's going to retire from his job as a fortune teller
His wife is very happy upon hearing the good news
Because of his fortune-telling job and the fact that he can see ghosts,
he becomes distant from his family
So finally, he decides to focus on the family, as well as teaching music
Later on, his wife hands him a CD,
with the recording of his son's performance that won in a prestigious piano competition
The fortune teller's very proud of his son's achievement
but he's a bit hurt,
when his wife mentions that he should thank her for pushing their son to study piano,
rather than the Chinese instruments just like his father
To lighten the mood, his wife invites him out with his son for dinner
The fortune teller's very happy and promises to listen to the CD
He also asks for additional CDs, to give to his customers as a gift on his last day at work
Suddenly, the fortune teller sees a young ghost sitting in front of a couple
She has a white face and red eyes, and seems to be soaking wet
He's surprised, when an insect comes out of her eye and lands on his hand
He knows that his wife is afraid of ghosts; so he tries to tell her calmly
but she freaks out, when a hand holds her shoulder
That hand belongs to the fortune teller's friend, Ms Psychic, who's selling lucky charms
Ms Psychic wishes to have the ability to see ghosts
She even purchased contact lenses that were said to help detect spirits
the fortune teller was first able to see ghosts due to his sickness at his young age,
but he stopped seeing them when he recovered
However, recently, he started seeing them again
Ms Psychic encourages him to work for her;
but he refuses because he doesn't want to scare his wife anymore
After a while, the fortune teller and Ms Psychic go back to their respective shops
While he's listening to his son's performance, he suddenly smells something bad
He then finds Mr Hormone, a swim class coach, and his pregnant wife
They visit the shop because his wife feels that a ghost is following her
Before the fortune teller entertains them, he marks his son's CD with a star
the fortune teller then remembers they're the couple he saw in the restaurant,
that the young ghost had haunted
He asks them if they visited the beach, because he smells seawater when they enter
Mr Hormone says that it might be him, because he taught in a swim class early this morning
His wife remembers that recently, she usually smells seawater and a rotten odor
the fortune teller knows that their case is complicated, because it involves ghosts
but since it's his last day at work, he refers them to Ms Psychic
Before the couple go out, Mr Hormone gets many CDs, thinking that the fortune teller is a swindler
He accompanies the couple to Ms Psychic's store,
and goes back to his shop where a schoolgirl's waiting
As they talk, the fortune teller notices that the compass that detects ghosts, is acting weird
The schoolgirl says that she's a swimmer in their school
the fortune teller already feels there's something off; so he asks how he can help her
She then answers that she would like to know if her boyfriend will stay with her forever
the fortune teller asks for her left palm to read her fortune; but she refuses
he just asks for other information; and while he's checking his book,
he's surprised to see the schoolgirl's face turns into a horrific ghost,
but changes back to normal after a while
the fortune teller realizes the ghost he saw in the restaurant is the same schoolgirl,
and she might be connected with Mr Hormone
That's why she keeps on following the couple
While Ms Psychic is talking to Mr Hormone and his wife,
she sees the schoolgirl pass by her store, but suddenly disappear
the fortune teller then calls Ms Psychic to his shop, and explains everything
Ms Psychic is extremely happy because finally, she can see ghosts
the fortune teller concludes that the schoolgirl died drowning,
because of the water and sand on the chair where she sat
After a while, Ms Psychic comes in with her report,
confirming the schoolgirl is studying in the school where Mr Hormone teaches
the fortune teller advises her to dig more information,
and check if there's a schoolgirl that committed suicide by that sea
Ms Psychic will set up a crystal formation in Mr Hormone's apartment to cast out negative spirits
She asks for the fortune teller's help in resolving the case;
but he refuses because he's determined to quit his job
Meanwhile, the fortune teller cannot find his son's performance CD;
so he listens to all his CDs just to find it
Ms Psychic suddenly arrives,
telling him a rotten body of a pregnant schoolgirl is found floating in the harbor
The body belongs to the schoolgirl, and Mr Hormone has confirmed she's one of their students
It's revealed that the schoolgirl is his secret hormone partner
She committed suicide, because Mr Hormone left her when he found out she's pregnant
At the moment, Mr Hormone's pregnant wife is in their house
After a while, she sees a footprint on the floor, and smells something bad
Eventually, the schoolgirl appears, singing her swim team's anthem
The wife is frightened, because she sees the schoolgirl crying blood by the crib
Soon after, the fortune teller calls Mr Hormone to ask if he accidentally took his son's CD;
but he's disoriented because he worries a lot, since his wife isn't answering his calls
As Ms Psychic prepares the crystals used to drive away ghosts,
the fortune teller decides to accompany her to Mr Hormone's house,
as he really needs to get his son's CD back
Finally, Mr Hormone arrives home, followed by the fortune teller and Ms Psychic
Mr Hormone then confirms that he had a hormone affair with the schoolgirl,
because he can't control his surplus hormones
The fortune teller tries to negotiate with the schoolgirl,
and finally she allows them to enter, except for Mr Hormone
As soon as they enter the house, Ms Psychic checks on Mr Hormone's wife,
while the fortune teller continues to talk to the schoolgirl
he finds the opportunity to hold the schoolgirl,
and draw a mark on her wrist as he forces her to open her hand
Soon he finds the schoolgirl doesn't like to open her palm,
because Mr Hormone scribbled "Love" there
but it's rotten since it's not sincere, but just hormony
At long last, the fortune teller and Ms Psychic convince her to move on;
then the lights turn off as the schoolgirl goes back to the sea
The story ends with the fortune teller eating happily in a restaurant with his family
When his wife goes to the lavatory, his son expresses his sadness that his shop is closed
It's then revealed that his son inherits his ability to see ghosts;
but he keeps it a secret from his wife because he doesn't want to scare her

and leaves his wife and their friends to be beaten
She also asks her to beat them harder,
including the innocent baby inside the womb of her husband's lover
Grandma agrees to all the rich woman's requests, in exchange for a higher fee
The rich lady is a bit hesitant if the ritual is really effective;
so Grandma says they won't be visited by many people if it isn't effective,
then hands her a flyer that explains the cultural history
The rich lady suddenly leaves without paying, which really angers Grandma;
so she splashes rice around the area to drive away bad luck
When the rich lady returns to her car, she sees a distressed woman,
who isn't wearing the other pair of her sneakers

It seems like Grandma knows her, because she gets nervous after seeing her
Ghost Sexy tells Grandma she would like to curse four people
When Grandma gets the paper effigy of four men, she clarifies that it's three men and one woman
so Grandma changes the last paper effigy to a woman
When she is about to beat them, Ghost Sexy says that she wants to beat them herself
so Grandma gives her the wooden slipper
She looks blankly at Grandma as she hits the paper effigies
Suddenly, she gives Ghost Sexy her missing sneakers, and asks her to move on and accept her fate
but instead of wearing the sneakers, she uses it to hit the paper effigies
It's then revealed that Grandma saw her being kidnapped by bad people;
but instead of reporting it to the police, she turned a blind eye and covered up the crime,
because her son is one of the persons, who murdered and raped Ghost Sexy
Meanwhile, tragic things happen to the murderers,
as the rich lady reads the flyer that Grandma gave her, and after Ghost Sexy hits the paper effigies
While the first murderer is having a massage,
Ghost Sexy forcibly pulls him into the hole of the bed,
where he vomits lots of blood, which causes his death
Upon his death, one of the four candles loses its spark

Ghost Sexy holds his wife and son to hinder them from going out
Grandma calls his son to warn him; but it's too late
A large metal from a car crash hits him, causing his gruesome death
Afterward, another candle loses its spark
Finally, the woman paper effigy is revealed to be Grandma herself
Suddenly, she's run over by a speeding car; then the last candle loses its spark
Immediately, people help lift the car to get Grandma out of there
When Grandma begs her to allow her son to live, Ghost Sexy stops hitting the paper effigy;
and then the last candle ignites again
