Du saram-yida

Based on the cover of the DVD and the fact that it is a part of the '8 movies to die for' series, then "Voices" (aka "Du saram-yida") seemed promising and it was with a certain amount of anticipation that I sat down to watch it.

And now that it is finished, I must admit that I have an empty feeling and a sense of having been cheated out of something potentially great.

So why did "Voices" fail to deliver? Well, because it was a predictable storyline that held no surprises to throw off the audience. And director Ki-Hwan Oh failed to impress where it mattered.

The acting performances in "Voices" were good, despite of the limitations imposed by the director and the lack of a proper script.

And the absence of scares and spooky moments just made the movie even more mundane - to put it mildly.

This movie scores a mere four out of ten stars from me solely on the production value and acting performances.

Korean horror thriller Voices offers up an interesting premise. A young girl named Ga-In Kim plated wonderfully by Jin-Sen Yun finds herself the victim of several people as they try and murder her. It seems that the people around her begin dying and some very gruesome fashions and visions of a grotesquely deformed man plague her thoughts. The film delicately plays on the concept of the people who are closest to you being capable of murdering you. It's executed well with dark visuals, a brooding atmosphere and strong performances. It all leads up to a surprising finale you won't see coming. Voices is in fact one of the most disturbing and solid Asian genre efforts in quite some time.

If you think this movie has plot holes you should see it again! The problem is you not the movie. This movie is fantastic, is well acted and directed. Is a true horror film and i enjoyed every moment. Love it!

It's tough to know who to trust - and would trusting anyone after all that is happening even make sense? I think the movie makes it so ... that it does make sense. Very nicely told and always lingering in paranoia the viewer clearly has issues or rather feels what the main character is going through. Quite mad but also very intriguing.

The special effects (especially one scene with water over a bed in the air) is astonishing to say the least! Really well made and very interesting story. Suspense from beginning to end and quite a few surprises along the way. You should be squeamish, because this is quite vivid when it comes to violence in places/outburst! No pun intended! Good horror that I missed when it was first released but I made up by watching it now
