This week in movies you missed: Have we got a Christmas movie for you! Celebrate the season in Korea on “108 stories of terror.”
What You Missed
Christmas is coming to the luxury residential skyscraper complex of Tower Sky in Seoul, and its owners have planned a party to end all parties. VIPs will fill the lobby, and helicopters will fly overhead and shower snow on passersby.
No one heeds a warning about dangerous air currents, nor does anyone care that the building’s sprinkler system is screwed up, because this is a disaster flick.
Anyway, everyone’s busy living out his or her own mini-soap. Building manager Dae-ho (Sang-kyung Kim) is a single dad trying to find a way to smuggle his adorable moppet into the party and tell his crush (Ye-jin Son) that he likes her. The “legendary” local fire chief (Kyung-gu Sol) has promised his wife that he’ll spend Christmas Eve with her. About a dozen other characters I’ve already half-forgotten have their own dramas.
The only question is, who will live and who will die when Tower Sky inevitably goes up in flames?
