"Acacia" is a 2003 South Korean horror film, directed by Park Ki-hyeong and starring Shim Hye-jin and Kim Jin-geun.

Plot

Unable to have children of their own, married couple Mi-sook and Do-il adopt a young boy named Lee Jin-seong. His name soon gets changed to Kim Jin-seong when he moves with Mi-sook and Do-il. The boy is drawn to an acacia tree in his new home's backyard, which soon becomes the focal point for an increasing number of strange occurrences.

Jin-seong befriends an older girl named Min-jee. She tells Jin-seong that she cannot go to school as she has lost a lot of blood. After she kisses Jin-seong, he becomes even more aggressive and violent. He turns even worse as Mi-sook becomes pregnant and has a new baby named Hae-sung. Jin-seong is so angry that he tries to beat the baby to death. He appears to run away.

Soon Min-jee starts changing and becoming more obsessed with the acacia tree as well. She finds herself in unnatural situations, like making ants attack another person. Mi-sook gets so frustrated that she decides to chop the tree down, only to find a bleeding and passed out Jin-seong.

It is revealed that his mother killed Jin-Seong by accident while she was trying to chop down the tree. Her husband sees this and helps her bury their adopted son's body. Jin-Seong's mother, out of guilt and stress, creates an illusion for herself that her son has run away and she desperately tries to find him.
