Our suggestions
A classic Korean ghost story gets a horrifying new spin in THE MIMIC, as the mother of a missing child takes in a lost girl she finds in the woods and soon begins to wonder if she is even human.
"In this movie, we meet a South Korean urban legend, something similar to Western culture's bogeyman. It's a monster that imitates human voices to feed on children. This hook creates a lot of curiosity and holds up much of the film. The big downside to this production is that we are presented with a good premise, but it is not well concluded at the end. The actors of 'Mimic' are good, especially the main child, played by Shin Rin-ah, who is only eight years old."
