Cello is a South Korean horror movie directed by Woo-cheol Lee, released in 2005. The movie stars Hyun-Ah Sung, Da-an Park, and Jeong Ho-bin, and tells the story of Mi-ju, a talented cellist, and her family as they try to unravel the mystery behind the sudden appearance of a new student in her class, who seems to be connected to a series of terrifying events.

The movie begins with Mi-ju, a professor of music, trying to deal with her troubled family life while pursuing her career as a cellist. She lives with her mother, her husband, and her daughter. While her mother is bedridden and suffering from dementia, her husband is struggling to find a stable job, and her daughter is struggling with her studies.

Meanwhile, Mi-ju is preparing her students for a music competition when a new student, Hyeon-ju, joins her class. Hyeon-ju is a mysterious and quiet girl, who seems to have an obsession with Mi-ju. Mi-ju becomes increasingly uneasy around Hyeon-ju, who starts to show signs of theft and bullying. As the days go by, strange things begin to happen around Mi-ju, including her cello being destroyed and her mother being attacked while she is away.

Mi-ju also starts to receive anonymous phone calls from a man who claims to know her mother and says that he has been watching her family for a long time. Meanwhile, her daughter begins to have terrifying nightmares about Hyeon-ju and wakes up with bruises on her body, which she claims were caused by an invisible force.

As more eerie events unfold, Mi-ju becomes increasingly convinced that Hyeon-ju is behind the strange occurrences. She conducts her own investigation and reveals Hyeon-ju's dark past, which is linked to a tragic accident that happened years ago.

The movie is a blend of horror, mystery, and family drama, and it delves into the themes of trauma, loneliness, and identity. The cinematography is superb, with a lot of attention paid to the visuals and sound design, which adds to the overall eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the movie.

Hyun-Ah Sung gives a strong performance as Mi-ju, portraying a woman struggling with her own demons while trying to protect her family from the unknown. Da-an Park also delivers a notable performance as the troubled and mysterious Hyeon-ju.

Overall, Cello is a well-executed horror movie, with a steady build-up of tension and scares that culminate in a satisfying and emotional ending. It's not a movie for the faint-hearted, as it deals with themes and images that can be unsettling, but for horror fans, it's definitely worth the watch.
