“K” horror rules, as powerfully evidenced by this sensational debut feature by South Korea's Jung Brothers. The impending demolition of a hospital conjures up memories of inexplicable events for one doctor. In the first episode, the doctor, then a young intern assigned to the morgue during World War II, feels that a beautiful corpse is beckoning him to join her in the beyond. In the second, the sole survivor of a car crash can't shake the presence of those who perished. In the final episode, a man feels his overworked doctor wife is drifting away—but he's shocked to discover how far. Visually inventive and full of narrative twists and turns, Epitaph has more than enough chills for fans of the genre while offering a provocative meditation on the idea of haunting in recent Korean cinema.
