Prompt (original, unmodified)
30-sec cinematic Korean folk-horror ritual. Keep the Word character’s face and outfit consistent throughout. 1. 0–4s: Word character kneels pale and weak in a dim traditional Korean house; worried family, candles, incense, shaman preparing the ritual. 2. 4–8s: Salt circle and talismans surround her; candlelight flickers as her eyes twitch and fingers convulse. 3. 8–12s: Her head snaps unnaturally; guttural inhuman voice, dark veins spreading, body twisting as the ritual intensifies. 4. 12–16s: Eyes turn black; shaman chants frantically and throws rice/salt; her body convulses violently. 5. 16–20s: She rises unnaturally; shaman presses a burning talisman to her forehead as wind tears through the closed room. 6. 20–24s: Talisman burns, flames surge, she collapses and becomes completely still. 7. 24–27s: Her eyes reopen human; family rushes to her in relief while the exhausted shaman watches. 8. 27–30s: Wide aftermath: scattered salt, burnt talismans, melted candles. One intact talisman emits faint dark smoke, leaving an unsettling unresolved ending. Style: cinematic Korean folk horror, dark wooden interior, warm candlelight, deep shadows, tense atmosphere, realistic, unsettling, dramatic camera movement.
