Not all fairy tales are meant to be sweet bedtime stories. In truth, some can be quite scary, even terrifying by today's
standards. Such is the case with
Red Shoes, a chilling horror film from director Kim Yong Gyun that features noted
actress Kim Hye Soo in a starring role! Inspired by the creepy Hans Christian Andersen story of the same name,
Red Shoes
tells the story of Sun Jae (Kim Hye Soo), a thirtysomething eye doctor and dutiful wife who ends up finding a pair of abandoned
shoes in the subway. She quickly takes the shoes as her own, but in the process, eventually discovers that these seemingly
harmless items may possess a frightening power all of their own!
Before long, Sun Jae's marriage disintegrates when she discovers that her husband is carrying on an affair. Consequently,
she is forced to strike out on her own and live a squalid existence with her six year old daughter, Tae Soo. While Sun Jae
tries to adjust to her new life, her red shoes begin causing all sorts of problems for her. Sun Jae's knight in shining armor
seems to come in the form of In Cheol (Kim Sung Soo), a good-looking interior designer who quickly develops feelings for the
film's heroine. Together will they be able to uncover the secret behind the enigmatic red shoes or will they somehow succumb
to its terrifying power? Find out the startling truth in The Red Shoes, a chilling horror film that sets an all new
standard for Asian horror!
