Dead Friend (2004)
7/10
haven't we seen this before?
10 September 2005
FIrst of all, people that love this movie either haven't seen enough Asian horror or are easily amused. It's nothing more than a movie combining both The Ring and Dark Water, with an edgy twist thrown in for good measure. I admit, the twist came out of nowhere for me and was interesting but overall, the movie was generic and un-original. Some aspects of the movie were dragged out but then they might have been essential to explain the relationships between the main character and others.

I'd recommend this if you're new to Asian horror and the concept of a dark-haired wet girl out for revenge still scares you. Otherwise, it's just good for a popcorn movie. If you really want to get best results though, watch it alone and in the dark because the green scenery is a nice effect and the sound is at least guaranteed to make you jump at unexpected moments.
