The moody Korean horror film SORUM is a slow-paced tale of a haunted building and haunted lives. Yong-hyun is a cab driver who moves into a dilapidated apartment building, living in a room where a terrible death took place years before. He meets the other residents on his floor, and discovers that like him, they all carry with them the burden of a secret past. After Yong-hyun makes friends with an abused woman and an unsuccessful writer, events in the building slowly but surely take a series of surprising turns, leading them to suspect that a supernatural force is in effect. SORUM is like a subtle riff on THE SHINING, where the haunted pasts of its characters are drawn out by an eerie building with its own dreadful history.
