Hard to mistranslate is Seung-wook Byun’s South Korean horror film THE CAT, which it seems we’re just now hearing about for the first time. Not that we mind, it actually seems like it’s been far too long since writing about an intriguing Asian horror film. So, peep the trailer and synopsis for THE CAT below!

Starring Minyoung Park (below), Dongwook Kim and Yeron Kim:

So-yeon is an animal groomer who works in a pet shop. One day, she gets stuck with a Persian cat named Silky when its owner suddenly dies. From then on, So-yeon is constantly haunted by a bobbed hair girl with green cat-like eyes who turns her life turns into turmoil. The presence of the girl and the sound of Silky’s cries start to close in on her life more and more as series of mysterious deaths occur around her.

THE CAT recently wrapped, but has yet to secure any kind of distribution deal. When we hear or see more from the film, we’ll be sure to rifle it your way!
