What "D-Day" ("My Bloody Roommates") had in the first and second act, sadly fell apart in the final act.
This Korean ghost story had a decent, if not slightly over-the-top premise, as well as some good characters to follow. Most of the story was psychological-based, which is perfectly fine, but the payoff was disappointing.
Granted, the disappointment may not have been in how the story was written, but how those climactic scenes were shot. During that all important segment, the lighting crew must have been told to go on vacation. The scenes were so extremely dark, I could not follow the characters and could not see what was occurring.
Because of this mistreatment of the material at story's end, I can only give the movie five stars.

for youth in asia, especially east asia, this is a well-understood topic - counting down to SAT.
Very good film, simple yet powerful. It reminds me of my high-school time, and my friends. Geeks, rebellions, averages and excellent girls. The four main actresses are all adorable. Their performance is very convincing. It's also great that they didn't try to make every girl perfectly beautiful, just natural.
Some of the details are not making perfect sense, but ignorable. I believe the psychological transition of the leading girl could have been shown more. Also, there's not exactly a leading character here, maybe a good thing, coz all the girls are truly equally likable.

i found this movie to be absolutely intense,dark and interesting,
don't listen to the bad reviews,its just that not many have seen it and rated it,
it deserves a 7.5,creepy althroughout and ending is just superb,nail biting stuff.
if you like Asian horror,and if you can take unrelentingly intense film,go for it
you may keep in mind this is not typical gore fest or will be relying on shock value alone,this movie does so much more,the psychological part of the film is more gruesome,horror in this flick works on this level rather take a cheap way out like what the Hollywood is doing,and calling films like saw/hostel/midnight's mid train a horror film when what you are catered is pure gore and twisted sick bloody fest,although that has its own value as well this movie rather takes the subtler road.
watch it alone,at night,lights off
