One of the first Korean horrors that made me a big fan, Cello, released in 2005, scared me, almost speechless. Mi-Ju is a cellist, having difficulty recovering from a traumatic car accident where she lost her best friend (whom she was in competition with). Seems after being approached by a cello student who was angry about a grade she received from Mi-Ju, unusual text messages and family behaviors begin happening. There's also the new housekeeper that lost her family in a car accident as well. It seems Mi-Ju's world is crumbling apart, but with some great musical background playing. After, Jun-Ki confronts his wife, Mi-Ju, he finds out about a graduation recording where Tae-yeon came in as second place to Mi-Ju and the accident that happened on the women's car ride home. Mi-Ju and another professor attend a recital, where Mi-Ju finds herself alone in the auditorium, or was that just a daydream? Meanwhile, everyone at home begins behaving strangely, including Mi-Ju.
This movie is a first class production with great special effects, including some computer generated effects. If you like the cello, then you'll be in for a treat. It's a bit suspenseful as the plot plays out. It does rate a 4 on the gore score. The cast is great, the director has a way of telling this story perfectly! Language translation was good. Loved the ending!!
