Celluloid editorial verdict
What is Tale of the Nine-Tailed about?
Once a mountain deity, a nine-tailed fox now works modern Seoul as a bounty hunter of rogue spirits, waiting out the centuries for the reincarnation of the woman he gave up his godhood to save. A documentary producer who has chased supernatural rumours since childhood finally corners him, and she happens to wear that lost woman's face — dragging both of them back toward a curse neither has finished paying for, and toward the half-brother he abandoned.
