What happens

Horror Stories (Korean: 무서운 이야기; RR: Museoun iyagi) is a 2012 horror omnibus film made up of four short films by five South Korean directors. A high school student is kidnapped by a killer and has her life on the line. To survive, she tells him the scariest stories she knows; starting with "Don't Answer to the Door", a story of eerie things happening in a house with a brother and sister who are waiting for their mother, "Endless Flight" in which a flight attendant and a serial killer are left alone in an airplane up in the air, "Secret Recipe" a cruel 2012 version of a folktale in which two stepsisters fight to marry a wealthy cannibalistic man, and "Ambulance on the Death Zone" in which the survivors in a city filled with a deadly zombie virus suspect each other of being infected while riding together in an ambulance. Horror Stories was the opening film of the 2012 Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
