Death Name

What it’s about

Sophie Park, a Korean American college student, changes schools and enrolls in a Korean history course. Her family has always spoken only English, and her grandmother fiercely opposes her curiosity. When Sophie learns her Korean name, strange events begin to unfold around her.

What hooks you

The cast includes Amy Keum as Sophie and Kevin Weisman as Jun, with Vana Kim as the grandmother. The film draws on generational tension and cultural heritage, and its Asian cast and themes of superstition and family curses give it a distinct focus.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys slow-burning supernatural horror rooted in family secrets and cultural identity. Those drawn to stories about inherited guilt and the weight of tradition will find its premise unsettling.
