Summer season was once the prime time for Korean horror films, but in the summer of 2008, Korean Cinema went horror-free and just saving for one big exception: “Death Bell” (a.k.a. Gosa). Proving that quality trumps quantity, the modest budgeted 'rookie' project “Death Bell accumulated over 1.2 million victims in cinemas during 18 days, according to its producer Go-eo Contents Media, and has become one of Korea's highest-grossing horror films ever. The feature debut of music video director Chang, the high school horror focuses on an already dreadful experience that students in Korea are all too familiar with - exams are hell - and takes it to a bloody, terrifying extreme. Acclaimed actor Lee Bum Soo leads a fresh cast that includes singer Nam Gyu Ri of SeeYa in her acting debut, up-and-coming actor Kim Bum (Hellcats), and TV actress Yoon Jung Hee (Love in Heaven). Now the first press Korean edition DVD for the horror thriller will arrives on the store at November 8th, just save one for your copy of this one of the rarely Korean horror movies.
In “Death Bell” 20 of the top students from Chang-ahn High School gather together on an inconspicuous Saturday. Some of whom are: Lee Na (Gyuri Nam) a loyal and sweet young person, Hyeon Kang (Ki-beom) the Don Juan of Chang-ahn and the rebel, Hye-yeong the girl obsessed with becoming the valedictorian, Ko-beol a student that suffers from schizophrenia, and Dong-hyeok the second highest ranked student and a chronic insomniac.
These students sit in a classroom eager to partake in lessons held by Chang-wook (Beom-su Lee) and 3 of his co-workers. During the middle of their Saturday afternoon class, music suddenly blares out of the speakers and the television turns on. The students become even more stunned when they see Hye-yeong on TV, submerged in a tank full of water. A voice then comes out and asks the students a question, the correct answer will save Hye-yeong’s life and the wrong answer will end her life. The students only have a limited to come up with their answer and there’s no escape for the 20 students assembled at Chang-ahn High School. Futhermore, more students disappear as more questions are asked. A bloody mid-term is in session.
