Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a supernatural horror film: "Mourning Grave"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with a teenage boy named In-Soo, riding a train late at night
He is still in his school uniform,
and sketching a picture of his mother while on the phone with her
In-soo is also holding a strange beaded necklace, with a metal disk in the middle in one hand
He reassures his mother that he is doing fine,
and not getting into any trouble with the other kids at school
It is clear from their conversation that he hasn't seen his mother in a while,
and that he has a history of not getting along with kids of his age
In-soo also tells her that he doesn't see ghosts anymore,
and that even if he does, he won't get scared
He momentarily gets distracted by a drunk girl on the other side of the train car
The girl is arguing loudly with someone on the phone, and is clearly upset
In-soo ends his conversation, and notices that the disk on his necklace is rapidly turning
This sends chilling hormones down his spine;
and when he turns to look at the drunk girl again,
he sees a long-haired ghost, whispering in her ear
Three of his schoolmates then arrive and start picking on him
In-soo flinches when they tease him for seeing ghosts
Obviously, it's an alienating reputation that has caused him to transfer schools often
He tries to deny their claims, and is afraid that the female ghost will hear about his ability
The train screeches to a stop; and his schoolmates leave along with the drunk girl
It's now just In-soo and the ghost left in the train car
He gets a strange feeling on the back of his neck;
and when he lifts his head, the ghost is right in front of him
In-soo is shaken as he walks home from the station
He warily thrusts the necklace in front of him, as it acts as a sort of paranormal detector
He walks inside the apartment, and starts to feel relieved,
thinking that no ghosts followed him home
But he's wrong
He realizes too late that the same ghost from the train is now seated on his shoulders,
and pleading with him to help her
As dawn begins to break,
a team of police officers discovers the body of the female ghost along a deserted area
This is all thanks to the tip that In-soo gave them, under the direction of the ghost
However, the ghost isn't prepared at all to see her dead body; so she howls in horror
Not able to withstand all the grief and pain that ghosts make him experience,
In-soo calls his shitty uncle, telling him that he wants to live with him
Uncle is surprised and warns him against his decision, since he too can see ghosts;
and the two of them together would draw too much paranormal activity
At that very moment, the ghost of a young boy is staring at In-soo
Uncle advises his nephew not to pay attention to the ghosts,
because if they know that he can see them, they will keep coming to him for help
But In-soo is set on his decision, and has already transferred schools to that small town
Afterward, In-soo rides a bus to the town;
and a pretty girl wearing a school uniform, catches his eye and smiles at him
He arrives at the house that morning; and his uncle greets him
He sees talismans all around the house, which are designed to ward off spirits
A photo of his great-grandfather is also displayed on the porch;
and In-soo reveals that he was a famous exorcist
His necklace even used to belong to his great-grandfather
Uncle and nephew sit down at the table for a cup of tea
Uncle is agoraphobic, which means he is afraid of going outside the house
This is partly due to his ability to attract ghosts
In-soo's mother even told him once, that his uncle was possessed by a ghost,
and went inside a women's bathhouse
In-soo shares that he also tried living in the U.S
with his mother, but not knowing the language made it difficult for him to communicate with ghosts
After settling in, In-soo goes to school;
and his new teacher introduces him to his classmates, with a stern warning to be nice
A group of bullies led by an attractive female called Ms Bully, lay claim on In-soo immediately,
and pushed him to sit beside them
In particular, Ms Bully is very interested in him; but In-soo rebuffs her advances
While the class concentrates on the lesson,
In-soo sees a bloody hand, banging on the classroom window
Later that night, he tells his uncle about what he saw;
and Uncle explains that the bloody hand means that the circumstances surrounding the ghost's death,
are very gruesome
The next day, In-soo finds a quiet spot during lunch break,
to sketch a blind woman and the ghost dog only he can see
The pretty schoolgirl he saw when he first came to the town, appears in front of him;
and it becomes clear that she is also a ghost
In-soo tries to ignore her at first; but she sees right through him
Two of Ms Bully's friends, Bully Chul and Bully Kee, also appear,
and take In-soo to a more secluded part of the park
They are angry at him for stealing Ms Bully's hormone affection
In-soo explains that he's not interested in Ms Bully;
but Bully Chul just gets angrier and beats In-soo
He throws him to the ground and leans in close,
whispering that he went to elementary school with In-soo years before;
and he knows about his weird fixation on their missing classmate named Young,
which happened when In-soo was in elementary school
A flashback reveals that many years ago, Young went missing; and In-soo began seeing her ghost
She insisted that she drowned; and he told the authorities the location of her body
Bully Chul remembers all this;
and he threatens In-soo that he will tell the rest of the school about his ability,
if he doesn't stay away from Ms Bully
Later that night, in an abandoned shed, an unknown someone slaughters a dog
The dog's collar and a picture of a young student are lying nearby
The next day, the girl in the picture, nick-named Bully Sung, is walking home from school,
when she gets an eerie feeling that someone is watching her
She talks to her mother on the phone, visibly worried about her missing dog
A few minutes later, Ms Bully and another bully fellow surprise her
They did it for fun; but Bully Sung is far from amused
She gets home to an empty apartment, and hears a loud bang
She investigates the strange noise, and sees a small plastic bag hanging from her ceiling
The bag bursts suddenly, and showers her with blood
Bully Sung runs to the sink to wash the blood off her face, and grabs a knife to protect herself
She then sees the ghost of a girl named Sae-hee, and frantically calls her friend
But someone comes up behind Bully Sung, and closes the door
At school, Ms Bully tells Bully Chul that she thinks Bully Sung ran away from home again,
Meanwhile, In-soo sees the schoolgirl ghost again
In front of them is Bully Chul bullying another student on the soccer field
She asks In-soo why he won't do anything about the bullies
Suddenly, the schoolgirl ghost stands up, and says that the entity named the Mask, is nearby;
so she runs away in fear
On the other side of town, Bully Sung is lying on the floor, bound and gagged
Someone bangs on the door loudly; and she screams out loud
That night, In-soo talks to his uncle about his regrets, for not stepping up to bullies
He believes that if he had spoken up, maybe Young's killer would have been caught earlier
Uncle reminds him that he was just a kid at that time, and he did what he could
Furthermore, he was even ostracized by others in town
In-soo later reveals to the schoolgirl that the ghost of Young had shown him who her killer was;
but he got too scared, and never told the others the truth
Because of this, he and his mother left town
This has always been In-soo's greatest shame,
and now he gathers the courage to speak to Young's family
He apologizes to her father, for not being brave enough to identify the killer;
and the father assures In-soo that he knows he had done his best;
and it was already enough that he told them where to find their daughter's body
After the father walks away, In-soo and the schoolgirl see the ghost of Young
She smiles and waves goodbye to In-soo, before disappearing into the afterlife
He finally feels the peace that he is yearning for
In-soo and the schoolgirl spend more time together; and romantic feelings begin to grow between them
One day at school, In-soo finally gets the courage to stand up to Ms Bully,
and stop her from bullying one of their classmates
Meanwhile, Uncle is plagued by a silent ghost of a woman,
who won't tell him what her unfinished business in life is, no matter what questions he asks her
At the same time, In-soo is verbally musing about who the Mask is
The ghost suddenly speaks, and says that the Mask is Sae-hee
On the other hand, the bullies' fellow, Bully Nara, breaks into the school that night,
trying to get her phone back from a teacher's drawer
She goes to the restroom, and leaves him waiting in a classroom
However, the Mask kills Bully Kee, then stalks toward the restroom to terrorize Bully Nara
She sees the face of Sae-Hee, and dials Ms Bully to tell her about the ghost hunting her
Moments later, the Mask finishes her off too
The next day, the school administrators start to get worried
about the string of student disappearances happening recently
Ms Bully is shaken after hearing Bully Nara's chilling message;
but she gets even more surprised, when she hears In-Soo asking their other classmates about Sae-hee
He learns that the girl has committed suicide
However, when he asks for pictures of her, Ms Bully ends their conversation,
and says that no one in the class took a picture with her, because of her terrible attitude
Later on, one of the students secretly sends In-soo a picture of Sae-hee
In-soo has no choice but to approach the schoolgirl ghost, and ask for more details about Sae-hee
She gets a sad look on her face;
and she tells him that everyone in school knows why Sae-hee died,
and why her ghost roams around in a mask
Later on, In-Soo confronts Ms Bully and Bully Chul about their involvement in Sae-hee's demise
He warns them that she's now coming for them all to make them pay
Afterward, with her conscience eating at her,
Ms Bully tells Bully Chul her theory based on a picture she has on her phone,
showing the killer with one of the missing girls
She thinks that Sae-hee's father is the one killing their friends,
as an act of revenge for what they did to his daughter
Ms Bully remembers that he was looking at them, with anger in his eyes during the funeral
She and Bully Chul then plan to go to his house and confront him
After knowing what In-soo discovered,
Uncle surmises that the Mask must be a product of a split personality ghost,
due to the traumatic death
Right then, In-soo gets a message from Ms Bully, asking him to come to Sae-hee's father's house
Uncle is alarmed and warns his nephew from going there, since he is not prepared
but In-soo is determined to help Ms Bully
Before he goes, Uncle gives In-Soo one of their great-grandfather's daggers,
that he used in exorcism
Ms Bully and Bully Chul go inside the shed on Sae-hee's dad's property
It's dark inside; and the door is suddenly locked behind them
They see flashes of the Mask through their flashlight beams;
and the father creeps up behind Bully Chul, and lands a fatal blow to his head
Ms Bully crawls to a corner, and cries as she sees the terrifying masked face of Sae-hee;
and her father kills Ms Bully too
In-soo gets to the shed too late, and sees Sae-hee's father walk out with a dazed look on his face
He goes inside, and is horrified at the sight of his classmates' bodies
He walks to one of the closets and opens it
Inside is the corpse of the Mask
and it is revealed that Sae-hee is actually the schoolgirl ghost, who he had befriended,
and that Sae-hee and the Mask are the same person
A series of flashbacks show what really happened
Sae-hee had anonymously reported Ms Bully to the school administrators for bullying
but Ms Bully later found out she was the reporter, and made her life a living hell
Together with her five fellow bullies:
Chul, Kee, Nara, and Sung, Ms Bully burned Sae-hee with a lighter, and cut her hair
Finally, Ms Bully ordered her to wear a white mask at all times, or else she will die
Day by day, their other classmates just watched, as Sae-Hee is tortured by Ms Bully and her friends
Her father grew concerned and wanted to go to the police
but she begged him not to do anything, because they might just retaliate even harder
When she couldn't take it anymore, Sae-hee hung herself
In the afterlife, her ghost split into two personalities:
the kind Sae-hee that In-soo met;
and the terrifying Mask, who wants to seek revenge on the bullies
What's more, she possesses her father, making him physically do the killings,
while the Mask ghost haunts the bullies before their final moments
But the Mask is far from done with her revenge plot
She possesses their teacher, then cuts the power to the school, and locks her classmates inside
In-Soo gets wind of the Mask's plan, and races to get to the school
He calls his uncle, and urges him to get over his agoraphobia,
because he is the only one who knows how to do the ritual to banish a ghost to the afterlife
In-Soo arrives at the school, and tries to plead with the Mask
But she has already doused the room with gasoline, and is about to set it on fire
Luckily, the good ghost of Sae-hee appears,
and attempts to stop the evil Mask from blowing up the school
But the Mask overpowers her good self, and makes her disappear
On the other side, Uncle gets to the shed, wearing their great-grandfather's exorcism paraphernalia
He grabs Sae-hee's sleeping ghost,
and starts performing the ritual, using the great-grandfather's sword
Back at the school, the Mask possesses one of the other students
but In-Soo is not sure who is the possessed one
So he pulls out his necklace, and whips it around the room
The disk vibrates when it points to one of the students like a GPS ghost detector;
and so the Mask reveals herself
In-Soo shows her a sketchbook, and reveals his long-buried memory
Back in elementary school, he was being bullied by some boys;
and a younger Sae-hee defended him and reminded him to be strong
Using this memory, the ghost of the good Sae-hee once again surfaces
But this is all a trick; and the Mask is back in control again
Right then, Uncle completes the ritual, by stabbing Sae-hee's body with a sword
At the same time, In-Soo uses the great-grandfather's dagger to stab the Mask
Years pass; and the local school eventually becomes a violence-free zone
In-Soo trains to be a teacher;
and the movie ends with him starting his first day at the same high school
However, as he is introducing himself to the class,
a ghost of a student starts slowly walking towards him,
indicating that his exorcizing tasks are far from their end
