Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Hell Is That Noise: That horrendous, continuous screeching noise during the appearance of the ghost in Su-mi's bedroom. To clarify: it sounds like a baby's wailing, only distorted almost beyond recognition.
The sound of the kettle boiling just before Su-mi and Eun-ju's brutal fight towards the end of the film.
The crying noise that accompanies the ghost coming after Eun-ju.
Moral Event Horizon - A flashback at the very end of the film reveals that Eun-ju witnessed Su-yeon being crushed by the cupboard, but did nothing to help her. However, it is implied that she feels guilty for it.
This is even worse considering Eun-ju was going back to help Su-yeon, but decided not to just to spite Su-mi. Yikes.
For some, Su-mi crosses this when it is revealed that she snapped Eun-ju's bird's neck. Granted, she is crazy and delusional, and she is most likely doing it out of her hatred for Eun-ju, but, still. Poor bird didn't deserve that.
Also, the sequence in which Eun-ju locks Su-yeon inside the cupboard that terrifies the latter so much and refuses to let her out, despite her heartbreaking screams. Of course, this trope is somewhat subverted once you realise that this was all in Su-mi's head.
Rewatch Bonus: Several scenes. The film usually requires a second or a third viewing to understand just what is going on.
Squick: The scene in which the wife of the girls' uncle vomits whilst having a fit (and possibly being possessed), before getting it in her hair and on her face during her spasms.
