Abstract

The 2016 film The Cry directed by Hong-jin Na did not directly show ghost characters, but added other horror elements, cleverly showing the horror image and arousing a deep sense of fear. Therefore, in this paper, the horror images in the movie are studied to understand how the movie The Cry conveys fear to the audience without the horror ghost characters.
