Sonyeogoedam

Needless to say that I instantly jumped at the chance to watch "Mourning Grave" (aka "Sonyeogoedam") when I was given the chance, because I do like South Korean cinema quite a lot.

Right, well I must admit that this was a rather scrambled mess of a storyline, that didn't really have much coherency to it. And that sent a terrible blow to the movie; a blow that it never recovered from.

"Mourning Grave" is blessed with some good acting performances from an equally good cast. However, they were struggling an uphill and losing battle against a terrible storyline and equally terrible plot. And the fact that the storytelling in the movie was unfathomably slow really didn't help lift up the movie experience in any way.

The movie did have adequate effects, though.

This movie was not scary, not in the least bit. It was more of a supernatural drama than it was a horror movie. So the disappointment left a bitter tinge in my mouth once the movie ended.

This isn't a movie about a ghost. This isn't a movie about a boy who can see ghosts. This is a movie about bullying, about violence in school. You won't find this scary, but you'll like it because this is a movie about two friends who want to bring peace upon a lost soul. This has jumpscares and blood and all of that stuff, but what is scary here is the story itself. Things like that happens and this movie wants to show you the truth about the reality.

The story isn't finished. The characters could have been a little bit more complex, but if you'll take 90 minutes from your time, you'll find that you needed this movie.

I really liked this movie and though I guessed who the ghost was at the start. It was a rollercoaster ride all the way up to the end. I would recommend this movie to anyone that likes horror films. I wish there was a part 2 continuing the story.

This movie is a good mix of horror (supernatural and human nature), yet some light hearted moments and some really heart warming ones. I really liked it.

This movie has it all a great script excellent plot fantastic characters and brilliant acting a horror drama murder mystery something for everyone
