Like always, i really need to collect my courage to see the movie he he, horror is really not my type ^_^. So, i choose midday to see the movie, the sun is out there so no reason to be afraid.
I don't know the original korean movie, i kind of like the movie. Moderate creepy ^_^, the ghosts were still frightening but no crazy sounds which will cause you a heart attack. That's one good thing about the movie. The story was quite interesting, though the line was a bit slow. The end is quite unpredictable. One thing i want to complaint is the slow story, and Paul seems an addition character, since without his presence, nothing is affected. His relation with Sydney is rather awkward. One thing for sure, to see this movie is almost the same with seeing Shutter. The same taste ^_^
