“Don’t remember… Take it to your grave.”

I watched this movie with a budddy :). Hammiboy for all you who care.

Neewaiz, I really loved this movie It was a lil’ confusing (and I don’t really get confused by the deepshit that often if you ask me) but I liked it because it was so awsum :). I love the highschool shit. I love how she can’t remember ANYTHING. I love that :).

I’ll just grab the plot from wiki because it does the plot the best if you ask me.

Three friends from the same high school are conducting a séance with a bunshinsaba – a traditional South Korean ouija board. As the spirits are called by Eun-jung (Lee Yun-ji), the planchette of the bunshinsaba starts jumping up and down: At the same time, her sister Eun-seo, who was sleeping in the next room, wakes up screaming. When Eun-seo comes out, she has an argument with Eun-jung about the séance, and Eun-jung jokingly calls for the ghost they conjured with the séance to kill Eun-seo off – and says that since they didn’t send the ghost back, it will do as it was asked, to kill Eun-seo.

After a visit to her doctor, an amnesiac Min Ji-won (Kim Ha-neul) finds out that now her brain waves have stabilised, there’s a good chance she may get her memory back. She’s decided to leave college, leave her mother and go overseas, to make a new start for herself.

In time-honoured movie tradition, though, little snippets of her memory start to come back in her dreams – and they’re almost always tainted by some frightening figure she can’t place. Not only that, but they seem to be continually connected to water, whether in the dream itself or by the medium of a knocked-over glass of drinking water next to the bed. But soon enough, inexplicable things begin to happen to her in reality as well – echoes of her dreams, the ghosts of her forgotten past invading her waking life.

Just at this time, Ji-won gets a blast from the past: Yu-jung, an old friend from High School, comes to find her after she saw her in a dream – and not only that, one of the other girls, Eun-seo, has died after telling this girl she had seen something bizarre. It’s not long before Yu-jung also has a terrifying supernatural experience with the ghost Eun-jung never sent back.

Now three of her closest friends from High School are dying under mysterious circumstances. But what is the identity of this ghost, how is it linked to her own forgotten past, and can Ji-won find out how to save herself?

Well, there you are.

I liked how there wasn’t that much blood here. And the suspense was priceless. Not annoying. Everything was really realistic. What I don’t get is why the movie’s rated “R”. :|. lol.

Well ahh nugg said I just liked the movie XD. I dunno what to say haha. The ending was kinda messed up I had to research to kinda get it.

Mark: 9/10
