Trivia:

When Ga-in is scanning the wall of the old man's home with the newspaper clippings and pictures, she reads a headline that says: "Argument with wife, father kills all four children." The bug-eyed image to the right of this is Goya's painting "Cronus Devouring One Of His Sons"; Greco-Roman mythology states that the titan Cronos/Saturn was told one of his sons would overthrow him as he overthrew his own father, so to prevent this, he devoured them all - reflecting the movie's theme of envy-provoked murders.

The Family Curse

Pretty good K-Horror film starring Yoon Jin-Seo as Ga-in, a young lady who seems to have a good life. She does okay in school, has parents, a younger sister and a good boyfriend. The story begins unfolding when her aunt is thrown from a balcony on her wedding day by her own sister. It turns out, the family has a history of violent death, just about all at the hands of family members. There are good special effects and Yoon Jin-Seo is a good actress. The story is never boring and a few crazy things happen but that is all part of the "fun". If you like horror check this out. If you have never tried K-Horror, there are better films like "A Tale Of Two Sisters", but this is good also.
