The Mimic

The Mimic is based on the myth of the “Tiger of Mt. Jang” – a legendary ghost which mimics the sound of humans.

The girl reminds her so much of her own lost son that she takes her home with her, at least until such time that she can locate her parents, or guardian, and return her to them. It’s not long before the girl begins to accurately mimic the voice of her daughter, and then increasingly strange, and sinister, events start to happen within the house…
