I watched this movie a while back, and while the details may be a bit fuzzy - the memory of this movie is a fond one. The events in the movie may not be entirely original, but the ending was satisfyingly unique enough for me.
The movie moves along at a somewhat slow pace, but it works well and I'm happy about it - rather than being an all out constant fright fest where the scares simply become yawns.
Asian horror has slowly become one of those things you either hate or love. A lot of people have also decided to love a few and hate the rest. This is unfortunate, I think. Simply because some elements are familiar, there is no reason to disqualify a movie because of it. Especially if the elements are mixed up enough to make an interesting final product.
This movie is one of those I feel anyone with an interest in Asian horror should watch.
