The curse of the faceless
 "FACE" deals with human faces that express both beauty and ugliness, and all other human feelings. The story stems from a heartburning, a word that represents straightforwardly the emotion of the Orient.
Face reconstruction, restoring faces from nothing but skulls and a combination of art and science, is a sophisticated technique of crime investigation. In the film, it??s used as a medium that derives horror and sadness of the wrongfully dead.
Being the first Korean film that deals with face reconstruction, combined with Korean emotions, the film will surely provide horror that??s never been felt before.
2004, the first horror opens its eyes!
"Face", the curse of the faceless
The face is gone. So is the whole body. What??s left are the skull and bones. Now, the faceless comes back with a curse. "Face" is a horror film that tells the grudge and curse of this faceless ghost. Since the huge box-office success of "Whispering Corridors", followed by "Phone" in 2000, horror films have dominated the market every summer. Last summer, "A Tale of Two Sisters" became a smashing hit, selling over 3 million tickets. Its success is thanks to the fact that the story and theme struck the right chord of Korean moviegoers. "FACE" is a story about a faceless ghost, crossing the line between life and death. Its appalling twist will put the viewers in a state of shock, as "The Sixth Sense" and "The Others" did.
A horror film with a new style!
Unprecedented story that??s never tried before
The story of "FACE" has never been tried in any other Korean films before. Furthermore, it takes a different approach to how to induce horror. Other horror films used places or gadgets such as cell phones or videotapes as sources of horror. However, "FACE" uses face reconstruction, which is somewhat unfamiliar but terrifying enough. Face reconstruction is a sophisticated forensic technique used to ID the victim with a skull when DNA tests are not an option. It??s not just science. Facials muscles and flesh are made with clay, applied to the skull, and then the photo-like face is drawn on the monitor with the help of cutting-edge computer graphics. In other words, face reconstruction is a combination of science and art. "FACE" goes beyond simple rules of how to implant horror in the minds of viewers, sending a wave of absolute fear through their spines.
First Korean horror film to be sold before its release!
Pre-sale of $200 thousand to Asian countries
"FACE" is the first Korean horror film that has been exported before its domestic release. In March, at AFM, one of the biggest film markets, it was sold to various countries for a total amount of 200 thousand US dollars. This was achieved with only a-minute- 45-second-long demo trailer. It was sold to such Asian countries as Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, and European countries showed special interests in it. It??s said that the unique sound and intense picture of "FACE" shocked buyers at the American Film Market. As Asian horror films such as "A Tale of Two Sisters", "Ring", and "The Eye" are viewed carrying Asian emotions, "FACE" received special interests for its scientific theme of face reconstruction and Oriental emotion of revenge.
I want my face back??
The dead wants the world to know who they were
Its body melted down, a skull is found by the river. It??s the fourth skull. There are no other ways to identify the victim but face reconstruction. However, Hyun-min (starred by SHIN Hyun-jun), a face reconstruction specialist at National Institute of Scientific Investigation, decides the leave the Institute. To him, saving his daughter who gets sicker by the day is more important. One day, a researcher named Sun-young (starred by SONG Yoon-ah) shows up at his doorstep with the forth skull. However, Hyun-min refuses to take the job.
Now I know why you torment me??
I??ll find you your face back
Against Hyun-min??s refusal to take the job, Sun-young disappears leaving the skull behind in his house. Oddly enough, with the skull??s arrival, Hyun-min begins to suffer from nightmares and illusions. In the meantime, the police find out that all the victims had a unique body composition called Beta-allergy, and the murders were associated with heart transplants. Hyun-min realizes that his daughter??s transplanted heart comes from one of the victims and begins to work on the fourth skull. With Sun-young??s help, he finally reconstructs the skull. However, as the victim??s identity is known, he falls into a deeper world of nightmares and illusions.
There is another dead body??
CHRACTERS
 "JUNG Sun-young"
[SONG Yoon-ah]
She??s a newcomer to the National Institute of Scientific Investigation. She??s bright and determined. She gives up living on easy street as a physician and dreams about being a face reconstruction specialist. She feels for Hyun-min who suffers from nightmares and illusions as she assists him to reconstruct a skull. However, as she finds the fifth skull, she confronts the most dreaded truth.
SONG Yoon-ah calls out the curse of the dead
She was an evil woman in "Mr. Q". She was a tomboy in "Jail Breaker". She has no limit as an actress, playing various characters of one extreme to another. "FACE" is her first horror movie. She says she was captivated by the power of the script that stimulates one??s emotions with the ghost??s grudge. She??s sure that "FACE" will leave a lingering horror in the minds of the audience, rather than providing them with instant momentary scares. There??s no doubt that no other actress could deliver the character of Sun-young who is intelligent and happy, but dark at the same time.

SHIN Hyun-jun falls into the curse of the dead
We remember him as Hayashi in "General??s Son", General HWANG in "The Gingko Bed", and a stupid killer in "Guns & Talks". From a charismatic figure to a comic one, he??s been pushing himself over the boundaries as an actor. In his entire career that spans for over 10 years, a horror movie was the only genre that was new to him. In "The Soul Guardians", he played a charismatic character. However, he??d never played a character as fragile before fear as his character in "FACE". He says he was so fascinated by the script and its genre being both a thriller and horror. He adds that has high expectations for the film, since he has participated in it since the pre-production.
