    This is all about the atmosphere

    Don't expect something like "Ju on" or "The ring". It may appear similar but the approach is different from those movies. There is this Urban legend where the scares are build on. But look closely at the source and the main character and you will know something is off. There are two twists at the ending which will motivate you to watch the movie again! I think that for the avid horror fan there is not enough gore and action. The pace is a bit on the slow side. It would have made more impact if the movie had a faster pace and if there had been more murders. I understand that this movie is more about the atmosphere. The cinematography and location(the toll booth in the middle of nowhere) provide an ambiance which is creepy enough. In combination with the slow pace and the urban legend concerning 29 February you will be drawn in the movie. The main character is likable and not annoying. Even when you suspect something is wrong with her you will care for her. This is key for the two twists at the ending. I give this movie 6.8 points out of 10!

    The acting and the plot kept it engaging

    A slow burn but one that gives you a satisfactory ending.

    Acting is truly convincing and realistic and not dramatic

    Also the bgms felt scary Predictable jump scares but one or two did get me lol.

    The post credit climax scene was creepy asf

    A movie that maybe a slowburn but really entertaining do would recommend this to any psychological horror fans.

    A very entertaining movie with unexpected twists and turns.

    This is a very entertaining movie and rather original to me. There is a ton of twists and turns in this movie. This movie doesn't really rips off the ring, as blood and gore is used in this movie, even sharp knives. Giving the whole movie a brand new look. Female murderers used in movies are not very original if you have seen diary. But this movie is a lot more original and the storyline is awesome and very original too. The ending is where I give the movie most credit. Very unpredictable. To me, the best scene in the movie is the last twenty seconds of the film. This film is slow,repetitive and slightly draggy at certain parts. However, this movie is highly entertaining, with the climax coming towards the end. This movie may not be as entertaining as the better ones such as "Koma". This movie is more of a fantastic phsycological thriller than a horror movie. It plays in your mind. At the end of this film, I guarantee that you will be very satisfied. I will give this movie a very high score of 9/10.

    Best horror of the year

    This series of 4 horrors are truly the best in asia. Simple, logical and terrifying. J-horrors are sometimes too loose, and some directors can go too far away from a good story. Korean movies are usually on the slow hit compared with other Asian films. Yet these 4 movies keep rather good paces.

    The "dark forrest" is the slower among the 4, and it's quite confusing the first part. Although it's a good trick, it's rather small and has been kept too long. "Hidden floor" is not my favorite either, but the acting of both mother and girl are quite natural and convincing.

    This one, "Feb the 29th", is fairly scary. Perhaps because I personally know similar places as what's in the movie. It's a good tale, a gripping urban legend, while the alternative/scientific explanations alleviate the intensity of horror. Borrowed some Ju-on gimmicks, so as "hidden floor", but it seems to be universal after the success of Ju-on :)

    Simple and predictable, but decent

    This was pretty easy to figure out from the beginning how it would end. Also many of the jump scenes were predictable. However, the rest of the story was actually pretty good, As others have said, the atmosphere was done very well in this film.

    Some of the camera shots they chose were rather interesting (in a good way). There is a short scene at the end of the film after the credits which actually had a very spooky feel to it.

    There are some shots which you could look at as being stolen from (or in tribute to) other j-horror movies.

    Other than that, not much really to say about this one way or the other.
