Nightmare (2000)
6/10
SHE KNOWS WHERE WE LIVE AND SHE'S COMING

Warning: Spoilers
It seems in Korea when a person is possessed by a demon, they are shunned. Crazy Kia (Ji-won Ha) has been blamed for a number of deaths and is now at college part of film club called "A Few Good Men" which include a lengthy explanation why the sexist title isn't sexist.

Later Kia takes a swan dive off a building and is haunting the rest of the club through illusion and knives. (We see her dead in the first scene.)

The dubbing left much to be desired. At one point it was so bad, I had to laugh at the exorcism scene. Also aspects of Asian horror movie custom to sew shut eyes and mouth to prevent the deceased from casting evil spells etc. went by without explanation so when the eyes came open through the sewn stitches, it's meaning was diminished in western culture.

I liked the film, but the foreign aspect of the film made many scenes difficult to enjoy.

Parental Guidance: At least 1 f-bomb. No sex. Corpse nudity.
