The start of a Korean horror saga
23 April 2010
I found this to be a pretty boring ghost/horror movie overall, but it was a good start for it's time. But maybe that is cause I seen way too many horror movies to the point I have seen everything in this movie in other films, except done better. This really wasn't a scary movie, in fact the teachers in this were more frightening than the ghost, they act more scary than drill sergeants and the girl students seemed like they were in military school. The movie was made in 1998, so I don't know how the school system was like back then, but I sure hope they toned it down a bit. I thought the build up was alright but not that good either, but the ghost is so not intimidating what so ever and there is more students and teachers talking amongst themselves about the rumors of a ghost roaming the school that it gets sort of boring. And if you want to be frightened more than go with the mystery and drama like scenarios, you probably won't enjoy this as much. But I could tell it did pretty well for it's time and I did like some of the themes in this, it could have been better if it was a bit more faster paced though. Just because it's a classic film, doesn't mean it has to be brilliant.
