The Plot: Unveiling Hwa-rim’s Dark Shamanic Origins
Exhuma: Blind Faith serves as a direct prequel and spin-off, focusing heavily on Hwa-rim’s high school years and her early introduction to Korean shamanism (Muism). Director Jang Jae-hyun, the creative mastermind behind the original film, actively participated in developing the narrative to ensure the story seamlessly connects to the movie's established universe.
The story kicks off during a pivotal summer vacation when young Hwa-rim stays at her grandmother's rural house. At first, Hwa-rim resents her grandmother's profession as a shaman, viewing the rituals with skepticism and embarrassment. However, her life takes a terrifying turn when she accidentally triggers an ancient, vengeful serpent spirit that has been sealed away by her family’s lineage.
