Movie filled with suspense and horror, fear comes to everybody as some kind of retribution take place. What if people will die according to ranking of their academic performance, will still one choose to be on the top? A sudden piano solo of “Fur Elise” awakes a group of top 20 students, taking a force study in Chang-in high school prior to their college entrance exam. Next thing they see flashes at the classroom monitor is the top one student Hye-yeong dying in a water tank. Then a voice declare a change of course to the test they are about to take. Starting with the fate of Hye-yeong, they need to answer the question before the tank is filled and drown the poor girl.
While all the communication is cut the students together with their teachers are trapped inside the school. As one teacher tries to go out for help, left behind Mr. Kim (Lee Beom -soo) and Ms. Choi (Yoon Jeong-hee) deal with the nervous students. But the warning of the mysterious voice is fatality for all who tries to go out the school. Trial is made to Mr. Lee who is severely wounded after he tried to go out, this cause fright to them and become cautious.
Missing Dong-hyuk the second top student suddenly heard screaming in agony, marks up the series of the deadly test. They all rush into the gym as the mystery voice instructs them. There they need to solve another problem before anything happen to the missing student when time runs out.
A ghost and its human force are making the hell out of the school. Indeed revenge is cruel and another student again disappeared, aside from the group of students who hide back at their school dorm. The remaining students sticking with Mr. Kim discover another question that might lead to missing Jae-wook, the third top student.
It’s now up to Myung-hyo and Yi-na’s (Nam Gyu-ri) turn in the ranking, will the misfortune get them as well?
Meanwhile what is the story behind the death of another top student before, Ji-won? All the questions seem to be related to her death and that her classmates are in suspicion that she made a comeback from the grave.
One more horror movie treat, this will give you a different excitement and suspense. As everyone sticks on each other in order to survive, will they be able to do something before someone else vanishes? I must say it is not a trying hard concept of horrible deaths (you’ll feel horrible indeed).
