I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

To me, this is a very original film. The use of the Oujia board was very original. I have not seen a similar idea in other movies yet. The use of hympothising another person to cause that person to kill himself/herself was very original. This movie is extremely fast paced or possibly the most fast paced movie I have ever seen. This movie is just awesome and entertaining from the start to the end credits. The opening scene was very well done and scary. The ending was quite good. This movie probably is as scary as shows such as the shutter but did not scare me as much as ringu. The first half of the movie was terrifying, the second half of the movie was not as scary but still entertaining. However, this movie is really complicating somewhere around the middle and I have a hard time trying to figure out what was happening. This movie is similar to Reincarnation in some ways, but it does not matter. This movie is extremely exciting and recommended. This is one of my Top 10 horror movies. Score: 9/10

This Korean ghost revenge movie started off quickly and ended up with a solid, mysterious and intriguing first act.It was all down hill after that.The problem was the subject matter: ghost revenge. Virtually nine out of ten Asian horror films have this same element as its foundation. And in the end, it's the same movie over and over again. I understand a little of Asian ghost traditions, but when will something new rise to the surface for theatre goers? And why does every ghost have to have long hair that hides their face? It's become cliché, trite and completely boring."Ringu" was a major ghost revenge success, but when are screenwriters in Asia going to stop with trying to better that one film?In fact, if you really want to enjoy the best ghost revenge film, don't watch the dull and hokey "Ringu" - watch the American version "The Ring". I know, the original foreign film is supposed to be better, but not this time - not by a long shot.

Yoo Jin was transferred back to a high school in her parents' hometown.Having a tough time dealing with her new surroundings,she puts a curse on four girls that tormented her.As each of them mysteriously burns to death,the school is thrown into a chaos.The mayor of the village throws fear into the entire town when he announced that Yoo Jin has called upon the spirits of a mother and daughter who were brutally killed in the village some thirty years back.He suggests that they drive Yoo Jin and her family out of the town.However mysterious deaths still occur...Admittedly the story of "Bunshinsaba" is highly unoriginal as it borrows heavily from "Ringu","Whispering Corridors" and "Into the Mirror",but there is enough creepiness to keep fans of Asian horror on the edge of their seats.The girls in high school uniforms are cute and the acting is decent.Se-eun Lee is stunningly beautiful with her big expressive eyes and soulful looks.The sequence which takes place on a barren highway at night is truly eerie."Bunshinsaba" is definitely quite derivative and uninspired,but if you like Asian spooky flicks give it a look.7 out of 10.

Totally thought this would be a garbage throwaway movie, but was pleasantly surprised. If you like Ringu or Ju-on you will love this movie. The number of times that the people in the theater gasped or shrieked was surprising. The row of young people (was this in Singapore) next to me watched the whole movie through their hands or with the collars of their shirts ready to cover their eyes. Excellent. Creepy and atmospheric, with enough twists to make you follow it to the end. Heathers meets Freddy. Top Notch.
