Echo

Two young brothers live with their parents in an apartment in Korea. On the outskirts of the woods nearby, a local recluse lives and travels up to the apartments everyday and screams out 'Yaho', a saying that echos throughout the neighborhood and upsets a few of the residents. After watching many failed attempts of people trying to stop the man, the brothers and their friend decide to investigate for themselves what the recluse is really up to.
