Essentially the same plot as flatliner with Kevin bacon but with a refreshing Korean zest to it

After reading the original comic first i can tell it has some differences but after all it´s and adaptation and a well made one it keeps the dread and mistery atmosphere overall a good horror movie but i recomend reading the comic too just to get spoked

The source material (the manhwa with the same title) is a legit scary manhwa!! But the movie adaptation is just meh! What have they done?!

They change the plot quite a lot, put a weird and bad CGI. Even they changed/removed some scary scenes from the manhwa. Even So hee's grandma ghost supposed to be scary looking. Please if you want to create a really terrifying horror movie and you already have a really good source material, stick to it! Dont change, removed or even add something unnecessary stuff. And you make people dont want to read the original story.

For other people, please read the manhwa. Its really good!

The plot is simple, a group of students conduct an experiment in a haunted house but things go awry and people start dying. In fact, I was ready to give the benefit of the doubt to this movie knowing the premise would not be original, however this movie lacks any real scare. The camera shots and camera angles were the best thing in the movie because it makes you want to strain your neck to see if there is anything hidden in the corner. Apart from that, there is nothing good that should be expected from a Korean horror. No emotional investment in the characters, no shock or scares. The acting was just decent enough but the main problem with this movie is that it does not really know what kind of movie it wants to make: an exorcism gone wrong? mystery thriller? or drama? This really ruins the movie and leaves you feeling cheated after leaving the theater.

In my opinion, the movie builds up to something but unfortunately it never comes to fruition. I thought the ghost had some backstory to tell but in the end there were not. In my opinion the characters really done well and the acting really portrays the characters diverse personalities and makes the dynamic of the movie interesting. I admit is is not the scariest movie you can get but I do feel scared when watching it. Especially when you are a student and don't really know what to do when dealing with supernatural things. There's one message that I got which is to let your past mistakes go and don't leave on it. If you do you are not living your life. Overall I like the movie. The cinematography was expected out of South Korea and the direction and story progression is well paced.
