When a renowned shaman (KIM Go-Eun) and her protégé (Lee Do-hyun) are hired by a wealthy, enigmatic family, they begin investigating the cause of a disturbing supernatural illness that affects only the first-born children of each generation. With the help of a knowledgeable mortician (YOO Hai-jin) and the country's most revered geomancer (CHOI Min-sik), they soon trace the affliction's origin to a long-hidden family grave located on sacred ground. Sensing an ominous aura surrounding the burial site, the team opts to exhume and relocate the ancestral remains immediately. But as something much darker emerges, they soon discover what befalls those who dare to mess with the wrong grave.

Jae-hyun Jang combines introspective cultural and historical themes with creepy, gory, and atmospheric horror thrills in an exciting way. It’s fun horror with a lot on its mind.

It makes up for its paucity of scares through the multiple layers of weirdness that it excavates, as one (burial) plot leads to another and as legacy, whether genetic or national, has unseen depths.

The best moments are not the ones that scream horror but those that whisper it—the reflection of something that shouldn’t be there, a movement just out of frame.

Exhuma has an engaging start, but halfway through its runtime, it becomes so entangled that it loses steam, becoming an overly convoluted plot about ancestors and curses from beyond the grave. [Full review in Spanish]

In a year with multiple forgettable titles in the genre, there are not exactly many horror films with such maximalist and well-done visual depth... [Full review in Spanish]

Decent enough with a decent story. Nice visuals and characters you will care about. Definitely worth a watch, kind of like The Mummy 1999 with Brendan Fraser
