Whispering Corridors 4: Voice

I uses IMDb a lot to check on movies. But I've never bothered to register and leave any comments. This is my first time leaving a comment for a movie, because I think this movie is worth to recommend to those who is bored of lame Asian horror movies.

Although I'm not very old, but I've seen really a lot of horror movies from many countries. And this one is the best I've ever seen (only personal opinion though).

From the beginning till the end there isn't one disgusting scene or sudden appearing to just visually scare people. From my point of view, i think it's good really, as long as it can still scare me (and it did).

Although a few points in the movie is not very logical (maybe I'm a picky person, I do care logic a lot even when I watch entertaining horror movies), but still i think it's very success as a horror movie with class.

One more thing I still have to mention is the music. It's the best part of the movie, i think. I'm really looking forward to the release of its OST.

First of all, for those who expect to be scared out of their mind with this film - you will be disappointed but if you look at this film from a different angle, you will find this film really touches on how loneliness can alienate all of us whether we are alive or dead.

The film tells how a girl Young-eon, a talented singer in her high school is murdered by a music sheet (sounds ridiculous but it will make sense when you watch it) and ends up becoming a ghost - only her best friend can hear her and help her find out what happened.

What the film explores is the feeling of being lonely and also being remembered. The two lead actresses do a great job in portraying the emotions and confusion of two teenagers and also bring out their friendship in a believable way. The film I would say is more psychologically driven in the thriller mode and it's pace is more steady which gives you time to get to know the characters.

Some scenes are spooky, and the film has an ambiguous atmosphere (as most Asian horrors do) so they keep you watching till the end so you can uncover all the mystery of the plot. I prefer horror films where you can have some emotional substance as it can sometimes take a turn that just shatters you - this film doesn't do that but makes you sympathise with the characters as well as be slightly spooked out.

The ending perhaps is a bit cliché - and also makes you question the main protagonists position in her actions and if she would do that (so much for friendship - that's all I'm saying) but overall I enjoyed this film and didn't bore me compared to some other Asian horror's I've seen in the past few days (Doll Master for one).

i love this movie be cores it went deep inside me like no other movie have ever done before . I think that to really understand this movie is important to have been in a school like that ,i could recognize some things from my own school days .But back to the movie all the characters have secretes kept away from the viewer like the music teacher did she have lesbian relations whit the two young girls ,it is rumors you hear in the movie and you can believe them or not i have never seen that in movie . I will not call it a horror movie it is more a thriller but it had some scary moments and a very surprising ending . This movie is truly a piece of art and i really don't hope that they try to do a remake in the U.S

While training after hours in her high-school, the aspirant singer Park Young-Eon (Ok-bin Kim) is mysteriously killed and her body vanishes. Her ghost is invisible and trapped in the school, but her best friend Kang Sun-min (Ji-hye Seo), who broadcast in the lunchtime in school, is able to hear her voice. After the suicide of their music teacher, Sun-min, aided by her mate Cho-Ah (Ye-ryeon Cha), finds that another student, Hyo-Jung (Hyeon-kyeong Lim), died in the same elevator trunk some time ago. Meanwhile Young-Eon recalls details of her life, disclosing why she died.

"The Voice" has an intriguing beginning with a scared invisible ghost trying to uncover why she died. The mystery is disclosed in low pace, but the revelation is very disappointing and confused. The ambiguity of Young-Eon contradicts her behavior along the story, and in spite of the explanation of Cho-Ah that ghosts recall only the parts of their past lives that they want to remember, I did not like her mean motives. Further, I have not understood the last scene when Sun-min looks herself in the mirror and then talks to her mother. In my opinion, the screenplay deserved an improvement. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

I haven't seen the third part of this series, although I have to say that it's better than the first and the second ones. I agree with the fact that this movie should be seen as a drama with supernatural details and not as a horror film. The atmosphere that this movie generates as it advances,turns to get you short of breath. This atmosphere is possible thanks to the sentimental aspect of the main characters and the suffering given off and not with frights in the style of Hollywood. Good performances and the excellent music help to get that atmosphere. The way in which the story is told makes audience be interested till the last second of it.
