Best Korean Horror Film I've seen, 26 June 2004
9/10
Author: Jay Shin from Seoul, S. Korea

Without a doubt, the best Korean Horror movie I've seen so far. This movie is creepy, has nice effects, and actually has a story which is understandable and doesn't have a deranged theme. I mean, you don't have some whining ghost who was cheated by her boyfriend or a schizophrenic girl having fits. This movie has a ghost whom I can actually sympathize with.

Like other Asian horror films, this film is more creepy than scary. The atmosphere makes you tense. The sound effects and the theme of water is enough to give you the creeps. And the acting, though not top-notch, is enough to satisfy you.

I admit, this isn't the MOST scariest film you'll ever find. But it IS the best Korean Horror film I've seen so far. Better than Phone(I hated the ending; pretty twisted and pathetic) and Janghwa Hongryun: A Tale of Two Sisters (I still don't get that movie -_-), at least.

Pretty enjoyable. **** out of *****
