The plot of "Exhuma" is set against the backdrop of Los Angeles, USA, where it begins with a shaman named Hwarim 화림 (played by Kim Go-eun) and Bong-gil 봉길 (played by Lee Do-hyun) receiving a lucrative request to meet the eldest grandson of a family cursed with a strange hereditary disease.

 

Hwarim realizes that the source of the problem lies in the location of the ancestral grave and recommends its relocation.

 

This leads to the involvement of Sang-deok 상덕 (played by Choi Min-sik), the top expert in geomancy, and Yeong-geun 영근 (played by Yoo Hae-jin), an undertaker.

The film merges traditional Korean shamanistic beliefs and geomancy with a modern and international setting, offering a unique occult genre piece rarely seen in Korean cinema.

 

The line "You'll know it all... what happens when you mess with the wrong grave" hints at the ominous consequences of relocating the grave.

 

The exhumation work that begins at a bizarre grave located on a site where no person should ever be buried soon invokes ominous energies, leading to a series of unexpected events that ramp up the tension.
