A História de uma Garota Fantasma

The other person that commented here seems to be quite excited about the movie, I just finished it, and I have to say, I'm not quite on the same page. Or the second. Maybe the third!

So, is this a horror, comedy, romance movie? No! It has horror elements, has a lot of romance, but comedy.. a goof here and there doesn't make it humorous, so don't expect a black comedy. It's just a more touching Asian horror, not too hard to predict, way too many flashes between past and present but overall a production that I graded with a 5! You will notice that very few people are involved in this movie, almost no extras whatsoever, the surroundings are cheap and isolated, so budget did limit the production. I think it could have been better but also, I do believe it made the most of what it had.

So, will I recommend it to an Asian horror cinema fan? Sure, it's a nice add-on, therefore go for it. Seen a lot more worse than this, so fear not, it's an OK movie. Without saying more, just watch it, you'll probably thank me later, by pressing that "Yes" button!

Cheers!

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 wasn't that scary for me but I watch a lot of horror. I guess I might have a tolerance to "scary." This did have a good story that I liked very much. I thought that the majority of the actors did a nice job in their character roles and some of the scenes were shot nicely. This isn't top notch horror but if you are looking for a good ghost movie I'd suggest giving it a chance.

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.
