The Storyline of the Film
A rich family from Los Angeles, who have been through a string of paranormal incidents calls upon the talents of two up-and-coming shamans, Hwarim and Bong Gil, to protect their newborn child. Hwarim feels a spectre of their ancestor’s gloomy presence, a so-called “Grave Calling,” once they reach their destination.
Hwarim consults with famous geomancer Kim Sang Deok and mortician Ko Yeong Geun to unearth the grave and provide relief to the ancestor.
