Voice of a Murderer is based on a true story, the infamous kidnapping and murder case which remains unsolved today.
The tragedy began on January 29th, 1991, when nine-year-old Lee Hyung-ho was abducted in the streets of Seoul. 44 days later, after the killer subjected the boy’s parents to countless phone threats, the body was found. Despite calling upon 30,000 law enforcers and forensic investigation, the killer remains at large.
Synopsis:
News anchorman HAN Kyung-bae (SOL Kyung-gu)’s nine-year-old son, Sang-woo, disappears one day without a trace. Then the nerve-racking phone threats of the kidnapper (KANG Dong-won) begin, demanding a ransom of $100,000. When the wife, OH Ji-sun (KIM Nam-joo), reports this to the police, a detective is assigned to their case along with a secret investigation force (KIM Young-chul) and forensics team. Despite these efforts, the cunning kidnapper makes a mockery of the police as he slips through the police dragnet. Making his way through his carefully thought-out plan without revealing his identity, the sole clue the kidnapper leaves behind is the recorded voice of his phone threats. For more than 40 days after the abduction, HAN Kyung-bae is dragged through alternating moments of joy and sorrow as he desperately clings to the phone, not knowing if Sang-woo is still alive. As the moments of joy diminish, and those of sorrow deepen, this father’s desperation gradually grows into rage. At last, HAN Kyung-bae declares a full-frontal showdown by taking over and initiating contact with the kidnapper himself, making his ultimate attempt to get back his only son.
Voice of a Murderer is showing in cinemas islandwide from 4th October, 2007.
