Frame of Death tells the story of a female director, Mi Jung, who is determined to create the most realistic horror film of all time. With a looming deadline and no final script, she encounters three students who share a story about a deadly fire. The incident is eventually turned into a film, but as it premieres, strange deaths occur without explanation. The movie is then banned, and Mi Jung embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the eerie events, despite being warned by those who witnessed them. Ignoring their advice, she remains determined to find out why the film was permanently banned.

Seo Ye Ji plays the role of Mi Jung, a courageous woman whose cold, resolute demeanor transforms into confusion and terror. Her portrayal, though from a less experienced actress, is impressive—particularly her ability to convey emotion through her eyes and facial expressions.

Frame of Death offers strong visuals and effects that create a realistic atmosphere for the audience, though it could benefit from more intense horror scenes to further engage viewers.
