Synopsis

"Forget the ghosts who jump out at you without notice, don't you have anything truly frightening? The most frightening thing of all is yourself."

Taking the horror film into new directions, INTO THE MIRROR proves that the most basic fear is centred around the self, which we know and trust more than anything else. INTO THE MIRROR shows us the true nature of 'Mirror Horror' by revealing the mysterious and creepy side of something that we have lived with all our lives.

Wu Young-min, a former policeman who inadvertently brought about the death of his partner during a face-off with a criminal, has quit the police force and now heads up security at Dreampia Department Store. Wu comes across his former rival and co-worker Ha Hyun-su, who now heads the investigation into the recent murders. A mysterious woman Lee Ji-Hyun is also found lingering around the crime scenes.

Without wishing it, Wu is drawn farther and farther into the deep mystery surrounding the murders.
