A Tale of Terror: An In-Depth Summary of the Movie's Plot
The film begins on a chilling note, set in a tranquil suburban neighborhood. A young girl is sprinting away, constantly glancing over her shoulder as if someone—or something—is in pursuit. Realizing she is in distress, she reaches her home where her father attempts to check on her. Instead of stopping to talk, she rushes past him, hops in her car, and speeds away. Hours later, she makes a stop by the beach where she calls her family. Her frantic declaration of love and reassurance that they should not worry is poignant, but it comes to a haunting end; the next morning, her lifeless body is discovered lying on the beach, her leg grotesquely twisted.
