Ji-won (Kim Ha-Neul) is a bright young student, but something happened to her that left her with a blank memory. She has very little recollection of who she is or her life before the incident. When her old friends mysteriously start dying one by one, she begins to investigate. As she slowly starts to piece together fragments of her past, strange and terrifying visions begin to haunt her. She discovers that she was once friends with three other girls, and together they formed an impenetrable alliance. Now as more friends continue to die, she draws nearer to discovering the mystery that connects the present to a dark and horrifying past. (official distributor synopsis)

This ghost story was pretty solid in every aspect. It has a decent plot with a pretty effective and surprising twist (though I have to admit I’m not an expert in Eastern long-haired ghost stories, I’m just getting into them, so maybe, for Asian horror fans, the twist might not be that surprising, I don’t know), the execution is very good, and even the ghost earned my respect. Thumbs up, a good Korean ghost movie, but don’t expect any bursts of originality.
