Seire

Korean Film Nights

Seire

Directed by Kang Park
(South Korea, 2021, digital, in Korean with English subtitles)

This indie horror film takes inspiration from the folk belief seire, which protects newborn babies from bad luck—as long as they are isolated from visitors. Following the birth of their baby, a husband is more skeptical than his wife about the custom. When he secretly attends his ex-girlfriend’s funeral and meets her twin sister (who he didn’t know existed), his family begins to experience terrifying happenings.
