... View Moreif their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
... View MoreProduction is well made, good actors, sets, cinematography, music, editing. Decent idea. Basically, the kid is cursed, or there's a demon that pushed people to kill. But the demon idea is completely thrown out the window when they somehow shoehorn the girl's boyfriend is out for revenge. What the hell was that? If they just kept it as a demon pushing people to kill others or commit suicide, then it would be a simple idea but it would work. The idea of the boyfriend's family being wrong to or whatever that was and seeking revenge is nonsense. I saw this with English subtitles. As some other reviews mentioned that something may have been lost in the translation and/or the cultural view of the society. But I think I got the point of the film. It was well made and one can sit through it and be entertained and shocked by the proceedings. And I believe if they went back in and edited out the boyfriend nonsense this film's plot holes would be less. Everything else on how the curse or that strange boy (The demon) coming to the school and pushing people to death, is still a big plot hole. That can't be fixed in editing. Only in a remake. It is so important that writers create a story/screenplay that not only contains words, but those words create a story that's relatively complete. We don't get that with this movie. And unfortunately we don't get that with most movies.In the beginning we see a woman stabbed and dead or dying in front of a little boy. She then jumps out at the kid. Good for quick suspense and decent open. But where does that fit in with the rest of the movie? Then were introduced to the lead character and her sister in school. They go to their aunt's wedding where the aunt is pushed or jumps off a balcony. She cracks her head and tons of blood. Good visuals. I would say this woman is dead. But no. They take her to the hospital and after surgery she's in the hospital bed. Ok. Then this woman's sister starts stabbing her. Again, visually it looks great. But after 30 stab wounds the woman finally, finally dies. Ok, so now that woman is taken away. We see her once more when the lead character visits her. But never again. So, next thing we know, the lead character is being attacked by her classmate, teacher, another classmate, her mother. What is going on? We don't know. Is it a curse? There are some serious plot problems here. Where is the connection between her aunt who fell off the balcony, and her other aunt killing her sister, and now she is the target of death? Rating is a C for a B movie. 5 stars, mostly for the acting and production. Screenplay is a failure.
... View MoreBased 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.
... View Morethis movie was scary, will literally let you jump off your feet. and in the end the lesson was amazing. showed different people all over the world, the boy in the beginning had nothing to do with the rest of the characters but, at some point they were all pushed by the demon that is behind you as the title states (Someone Behind You)to do something you wouldn't do. But think of doing. Even a tiny bit of doubt, hate, jealousy..will trigger it, even if u just wished deep in ur head that hes dead, everybody does that like if for example your little sister steals your money don't u just wish her dead? just be careful, he might help u out, give u a weapon or a little dodge and bam! This sort of explains how evil gets in the way of people killing his family/loved one and pleading innocent or saying it was drugs/grudge that made him do it. This is my new favorite now. :o
... View MorePretty good K-Horror film starring Yoon Jin-Seo as Ga-in, a young lady who seems to have a good life. She does okay in school, has parents, a younger sister and a good boyfriend. The story begins unfolding when her aunt is thrown from a balcony on her wedding day by her own sister. It turns out, the family has a history of violent death, just about all at the hands of family members. There are good special effects and Yoon Jin-Seo is a good actress. The story is never boring and a few crazy things happen but that is all part of the "fun". If you like horror check this out. If you have never tried K-Horror, there are better films like "A Tale Of Two Sisters", but this is good also.
