Epitaph is a South Korean horror movie that was released in 2007. The movie is directed by the brothers Jeong Beom-sik and Jeong Sik. The movie is set in 1942, during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The movie tells the story of two brothers, Kyung-Nam and Kyung-Soo, who are doctors working at a hospital in a small town. The movie is divided into six chapters, each of which focuses on a different character and their story.

The movie opens with a scene of a young girl walking through the woods. She is being followed by a man who is holding a hammer. The girl eventually encounters a group of monks who are performing a ritual. The girl is taken away by the monks, and the man with the hammer is never seen again.

The first chapter of the movie takes place in the hospital where the two brothers work. Kyung-Nam is the head doctor, while Kyung-Soo is his assistant. The hospital is haunted by the ghost of a young girl who was killed by her father. The ghost appears to be seeking revenge, and several patients at the hospital are killed.

The second chapter of the movie focuses on Min-ah, a young girl who is staying at the hospital with her parents. Min-ah is haunted by a ghostly figure who appears to be the young girl from chapter one. Min-ah's mother is also haunted by a ghostly figure who resembles her dead sister.

The third chapter of the movie focuses on Jung-Nam, a man who is visiting the hospital to see his wife, who is a patient. Jung-Nam is haunted by the ghost of a young boy who died at the hospital. Jung-Nam's wife is also haunted by the ghost of the young girl.

The fourth chapter of the movie focuses on a group of monks who are performing a ritual in the woods. The ritual is designed to exorcise the ghost from the hospital. The monks are successful, but the ghost possesses one of the monks.

The fifth chapter of the movie focuses on a young woman named Eun-Joo, who is staying at the hospital. Eun-Joo is haunted by the ghost of the young girl, who is seeking revenge on Eun-Joo's father.

The sixth and final chapter of the movie reveals the true story behind the ghost. The young girl who was killed by her father was actually the daughter of the head doctor at the hospital. The head doctor had an affair with a nurse, and the young girl was the product of that affair. When the head doctor's wife found out, she killed the young girl and then killed herself. The ghosts that were haunting the hospital were seeking justice for the young girl's death.

Epitaph is a complex and haunting movie that combines elements of horror and tragedy. The movie explores themes of loss, betrayal, and revenge. The storytelling is non-linear, with each chapter revealing a different layer of the story. The cinematography is beautiful, with striking visuals that add to the haunting atmosphere of the movie. The performances by the actors are excellent, with each actor bringing depth and complexity to their character. Overall, Epitaph is a must-see movie for fans of horror and Korean cinema.
