Cello (Chello hongmijoo ilga salinsagan)

Great film!

As usual really creepy and jumpy, but a good story line...

the basic story line is that of a woman (Hong Mi-ju), who's married with 2 children and the story follows her life. Mi-ju is a professor in music and when she was younger she was a cellist with her best friend (Kim Tae-yeon) and because they were both really good at playing they seemed to end up being competitive with one another. one day Tae-yeon was chosen to be the main cellist in a show, the choice was between Mi-ju and Tae-yeon, so Mi-ju got jealous and they ended up in a car accident on the way home from rehearsal, Tae-yeon ended up dangling from an edge of a cliff and because of her jealously Mi-ju didn't save her and let her fall to her death.

Mi-ju took her eldest daughter, who my i add is autistic, she doesn't speak at all, well, they pass a music store and the daughter stops and stares at a cello. Mi-ju buys her the cello and they take it home. Only to find out later that this cello brings negetive things to the home. The family end up being haunted by Tae-yeon. her 'ghost' terrorises her family. her husband had no idea of what happened with Mi-ju and Tae-yeon in the past. basically towards the end of the story all her family members die, her youngest daughter, her sister-in-law and Mi-ju ends up stabbing her autistic daughter to death only because she was possessed by her dead friends ghost. then she turns on herself and stabs herself. She wakes up in the hospital and everything seems to be ok, her daughters, husband and sister-in-law walk into the hospital to see her...Mi-ju was shocked as she thought everyone was dead, but the doctor said that it could have been because of her being in a coma for so long she imagined these things.

Really good film...a must watch if you like your TAE's or any Asian film's.
