YesAsia Editorial Description

Journey once more into the world of Asian horror with The Wig, a terrifying supernatural horror picture from filmmaker Won Sin Yeon! In his feature length directorial debut, Won crafts a gruesome tale centering on two sisters and the demonic wig that comes between them. Each sister, it seems, has suffered a terrible trauma: Chi Hyon (Yoo Seon, from The Uninvited) can no longer speak due to a terrible car accident that damaged her vocal chords, while her younger sibling Su Hyon (Chae Min Seo, from Champion and Aegis) has been diagnosed with cancer with little chance for recovery. For most of their lives, the two young women have nurtured a loving sisterly relationship, one that has only grown stronger in the face of adversity, that is - until one fateful day.

When Su Hyon loses her hair due to chemotherapy treatment, Chi Hyon decides to give her younger sister a beautiful wig to help her regain her confidence. Immediately, Su Hyon begins to change in ways her elder sister never expected. While the wig rejuvenates her body and spirit, it also begins to take over her mind, as Su Hyun starts to transform into an entirely different sort of woman. Clearly, this is no ordinary hairpiece. Soon enough, sibling rivalry erupts as the two compete for the love of Chi Hyon's boyfriend, a complicated love triangle that climaxes in surprising ways. The wig seems to feed on the memories of its possessor, but why? What secrets does it hold? Find out the horrifying truth in The Wig, first-time director Won Sin Yeon's terrifying foray into Asian horror!

  姊姊智賢(柳善飾)因為一次車禍成了啞巴;妹妹秀賢(蔡?曙飾),則長期受病魔折磨,更因受化療影響而不斷脫髮。為了讓妹妹過正常生活,姊姊送了一個假髮給妹妹;表面上,妹妹做回正常人,甚至乎比生病前更容光煥發;內裡卻被一股無形的力量不斷蠶食。原來,假髮背後藏著一個令人毛骨悚然的秘密。智賢的朋友曾經試戴那假髮卻換來血肉模糊慘死的收場。三千煩惱絲一根一根慢慢滲進兩人心坎中,將本來相依為命的兩姊妹推向死地!

  What differentiates horror movies from other genres of movie is the relative importance the material occupies in the two. In horror movies, the material functions as a more dominant factor than the characters or the message; for example, in deciding the overall motive, plot, and metaphors. The Wig as a movie has adopted 'hair' as its main material, since hair contains two contrasting feelings of familiarity and unfamiliarity. As a body part, hair seems all too familiar; but at the same time, it becomes an unfamiliar and eerie object on some other occasions. A horror caused by these two contradicting feelings is the main plot of The Wig. The movie is loaded with such fears as when a person looks at her long black hair reflected in the mirror or she spots a clot of fallen hair in the bathroom drain. The Wig reminds the audience of such fears as they encounter them in their daily lives.

Not too scary Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
I feel that she is too beautiful to be a ghost or to ransformed into another person. I think she needs a lot more acting to be pretty scary.
