Seeking solace, she moves her family to a tranquil countryside home near the woods where her mother grew up. Her hope for healing is disrupted when she discovers a lost little girl in the forest and impulsively brings her home, hearing echoes of her lost son in the child's voice. As inexplicable and disturbing events begin to unfold around her family, Hee Yeon grows increasingly suspicious of the girl's true nature, questioning whether she might be something inhuman. Inspired by the legend of Jangsan Tiger, "The Mimic" is a 2017 South Korean horror-thriller film directed by Heo Jung.
