Dead Air...

A DJ and crew of a late-night call-in show are plagued by bizarre calls, strange noises, and a possible curse. We are shown at the beginning what happened some years ago to a former DJ. It occurred in the same studio #6. Is it haunted? Perhaps, but that's not all that's going on, and secrets are slowly revealed that turn everything upside down! THE BOOTH is a smart, cool little Japanese creeper that never gets boring...

Pretty creepy

This film is well Worth it's short 74 minute run time a very creepy atmosphere in an isolated setting A well written cohesive storyline that has a pretty good pay off in the end highly recommended.

Makes one wish for dental surgery

My wife and I just finished watching Bûsu AKA The Booth. She fell asleep during some parts of the movie. I really wish I had taken a snooze with her, but the unfortunate fact is that the main character's voice is so loud and grating that it was impossible for me to sleep. When our protagonist speaks, it makes me want to hear Regis Philbin and William Shatner sing karaoke. He also has no redeeming qualities. I was hoping he'd get hit by a bus five minutes into the film.

Don't get me wrong, I love Asian horror cinema, but The Booth is extremely irritating and full of scenes that really make no damned sense at all. If you want some good Asian cinema, check out A Tale of Two Sisters or Into The Mirror. Avoid The Booth like the plague, especially if you suffer from frequent migraines.

Impressive for a small cast and minimal locations

I liked this movie because it basically did more with less. It could have been made more interesting if they had kept it confined to the studio even more (though some of the plot elements would have been harder to develop).

The guy playing the DJ did a good job of showing someone spooked out and haunted by his memories. I also found his dialog with the callers pretty funny.

While parts of the movie you can see coming a mile away, other parts you do not expect to turn out the way they did.

I thought it was a pretty minimal ghost story for the most part, concentrating more on the living side of the equation. The last 5-10 minutes were pretty well done as everything is being revealed.

While it was a shorter movie, it felt to be just about the right amount of time to tell the story. Any more and it would have started to drag.

Felt refreshed!

Well, God and my friends sure know I had my share of bad Asian horrors, so thank you for delivering this little gem. It looks small but the potential is explored as much as its budget allowed it to.

Very few places used in this movie, either they had a lack of finances or maybe they just wanted to keep it small, so it can feel more personal, helping the viewer to connect more with the main character. Did it work? I think it was a direct hit! No point in saying too much about it, cause I fear I may reveal important details in it, thus I will do nothing more than recommend this one. It works as a horror, has some nice humorous lines in it and that good ol' twist at the end! So don't read too much into it, watch it and thank me later.

Cheers!
