Whispering Corridors: The Humming

One of the best horror films... Much more better than conjuring 3.

The new Bollywood, Korean crap. All the same. I will never ever watch another Korean movie.

Alright, another Whispering Corridors movie! My expectations: a ghost story set in a highschool with a decent atmosphere. I wasn't expecting for this to be an award winning effort. I was just in the mood for a ghost story. I enjoyed the previous entries in this series as good entertainment and sometimes with surprisingly great music and atmosphere.

This movie though was nothing like that.

The cinematography is great. Everything feels like a big budget project. The acting is also great, especially the protagonist. She did a great job with what she was handed.

And she wasn't handed a good script. The plot is all over the place. The director was too hasty baiting the audience before giving them something to stand on. He was already throwing build up scenes at us without establishing a rapport with the viewer. Why should I care about what's going to happen when I, as a viewer, don't know who these people are?

It is all a shame because later on he does that with his protagonist but it was at the end of the movie where nothing was at stake anymore.

The other characters are so underdeveloped that I keep confusing them with each other.

I really like Whispering Corridors film series. The second and fourth ones are my favorite of all time. The rest are also ok in their own ways but they didn't last for a long time in my mind. Now, the sixth film is here. I was so excited about this one when I first heard the news about it. When it's finally out, sadly, it didn't match with my expectations. Most of the horror movies nowadays are not scary at all. This one is also one of them. But, this movie is decent. Unlike the other Whispering Corridors movies, this one will make you think more as it holds the audience's attention throughout. There's nothing scary jump scares. Only interesting storyline with strange characters. I personally like this one also but at the same time, I want to forget this movie. Not gonna lie, this one has so many plot holes left to explain. 7 stars for the great cinematography and actors. Reduced 3 stars because it's not even scary a little bit.

This tired horror franchise had its moments apart from lazy jump scares and convoluted narrative. Wrong educational system and child abuse made interesting subjects. Kim Seo-hyung was the main reason i gave it a try and she didn't disappoint.
