After catching her husband cheating with another woman, Sun Jae takes her young daughter and moves into a dilapidated old apartment building to start a new life. Heading home from work one day she finds a strange pair of high-heeled red shoes and decides to take them. While the shoes provide her with some comfort, they also become objects of unhealthy obsession for her ballet-dancing daughter and her best friend. Soon, everyone who comes into contact with the shoes desperately craves them and a curse began hundreds of years ago will once again rear its ugly head.

A disturbed filmmaker (Carl Boehm) literally kills with his camera in this ahead-of-its-time shocker from revered British director Michael Powell. Like the same year's Psycho, this film's combination of voyeurism, eroticism and horror repelled some 1960 critics, but its cult reputation soared in later years. Moira Shearer (star of Powell's The Red Shoes) makes an appearance, as does Powell himself (as Boehm's father in flashback).

Riding the subway after a long day's work, Sun-jae finds an abandoned pair of red high heels. When she decides to keep them, she has no idea that the shoes carry a curse, bringing nothing but harm to those who wear them. With stunning visual imagery, the tension in Yong-gyun Kim's creepy horror film builds as the shoes begin to inspire greed, jealousy and violence in those who come in contact with them.

A woman who finds a pair of pink high heels on a subway platform soon realizes that jealousy, greed, and death follow them wherever they go.

The Hans Christian Andersen tale is given a modern setting in the story of Lisa, a little black girl, who learns the value of friendship with help from a pair of magic slippers.

Secular matters consume five missionary nuns who head to the Himalayas to establish an Anglican school. In the meantime, the quintet's leader (Deborah Kerr) must grapple with the envy of one nun (Kathleen Byron), the bitterness of a man (David Farrar) and the cruelty of the elements. The film received Academy Awards for Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography, in part for its Technicolor innovations.
