Follows Yeogo goedam II (1999)

Not scary but sad.

I've seen every Whispering Corridor series. Since I'm a middle school girl in Korea, films with school as its background have always appealed to me. And this is why people keep watching Whispering Corridor series and expecting something different to the other horror films from them, even though the series are going worse and worse(I don't think so but most people think that way).

Anyway, I've never seen a film like this which got such terrible scores from every single review web site. Yet I like this film(maybe I've got such a weird taste). This film is not scary, really. I didn't screamed at all watching this film though I'm kind of person who get easily surprised... Is there anyone watched the second Whispering Corridor? This fourth one resembles the second one. Not really scary, but emotionally touching, and a bit chilly.

If you watch this film as a horror film, you'll probably long to give it one point or less than that. However if you just watch this film without minding the genre, you'll give at least seven point to it. Acting is just 'okay' and this is why it doesn't seem as good as the second Whispering Corridor even though it has as great plot as the second one. In a film which contains many emotional parts like this acting is a really significant thing but this film is lacking of it. Also graphic is a bit clumsy. I don't know whether or not the director intended it to be clumsy, but it is disturbingly awkward.

It's like a drama/detective stuff rather than horror. If you want to enjoy feeling of being chilled and letting your stress fly away by screaming, I really don't want to recommend it. If you like detective things, I highly recommend it to you.
