Bloody Reunion

Mi-ja, a former student who stays kind and protective, returns to the countryside to care for her aging teacher, Miss Park. Sixteen years have passed since graduation, and Mi-ja invites several ex classmates to Park’s quiet home, turning a routine reunion into a test of loyalties. Park, frail but perceptive, relies on Mi-ja for support as their teacher student bond is confronted by unspoken histories. The evening unfolds with old friendships strained by past choices, and a growing tension that hints at secrets ready to surface. The gathering unsettles everyone without revealing its exact direction, leaving viewers curious about what lies beneath the surface.

Directed by Lim Dae-wung and written by Park Se-yeol Bloody Reunion released in 2006 as a Korean mystery horror. Based on an original screenplay, the film stars Oh Mi-hee and Seo Young-hee in the lead roles.

Critics highlighted the film's restrained pacing moody visuals and focus on memory and responsibility. The dynamics between the caregivers and the former students reveal guilt and fractured trust, anchored by solid performances from Oh Mi-hee as Miss Park and Seo Young-hee as Nam Mi-ja. The storytelling leans on atmosphere and character conflicts rather than shock value.

Within the mid 2000s wave of Korean thrillers Bloody Reunion stands out for its quiet mood and emphasis on past trauma in a domestic setting rather than gore. The film's atmosphere and focus on character conflicts reflect a broader shift toward psychological horror in Korea at the time.

Box office data is not publicly available, so commercial performance cannot be fully assessed here. The film remained largely a domestic release with limited international reach, typical for mid 2000s Korean thrillers that found audiences mainly in regional markets.
