:: ouijia board - film review ::today i watched my first korean movie, alone! hehe... it's not very scary, i think in terms of scare factor, 'the ring' beats all! korean movies are very similar to jap horror movies. v low budget type but still scary. unlike hollywood movies that take millions or billions of dollars to produce yet are still not as scary as asian ones... perhaps it's cuz the chinese culture is more closely-related to jap and korean as compared to western, accounting for the ability of just some dark noises, shadows and evil looks sending chills down our spine. anyway this story starts of as a grp of three gals (one of which seems to have some kind of psychic power) being bullied by other gals in their class. so one of them unearths the ouijia board and decides to invoke the spirit of a gal from their school who died horribly... unfortunately, the one leading somehow gets possessed by the vengeful spirit. the spirit helps them 'curse' the 4 girls who constantly humiliate them at school, by making them put plastic bags soaked in kerosene over their heads and then setting themselves on fire, leading to a spate of grisly 'suicides'. meanwhile, a new teacher realises that she is somehow 'not herself' on and off... anyway, as the murders continue, the students start to revive the story of the curse of 'in sook' (the gal who died 30 yrs ago)... eventually, the story unfolds... it turns out that this secluded village hides a 'dirty' secret. 30 years ago, a mother-and-daughter pair had arrived at the village. initially, they were not welcome, until the school principal became 'besotted' with the mother and raped her, on condition that her daughter would be allowed to continue her education at school. now, the weird thing was that her daughter is actually blind, but the mother has really strong psychic powers and when her daughter is at school, she stays home and 'looks' through her daughter's eyes, thus allowing her to live life to the fullest. unfortunately, this somehow drew the school bullies to constantly torment her daughter. eventually, a series of bad turns led the village to mistakenly believe that somehow this mother-daughter pair was responsible for it all. the school teachers and principal cornered the daughter and set her head on fire, thus killing her, while the rest of the mob burned their house down. the mother was caught in the blaze and perished as well, but not before she uttered a curse of death upon all who attempted to leave the village.
shift to the current setting: the mother has actually been reincarnated in the form of the new teacher in school, while the daughter possesses the student. eventually, she exacts revenge on the people who had led the mob against her daughter and herself. she even has sex with a fellow teacher (but he didn't know it cuz he was hypnotised) so that her own daughter could be reborn to her!
there's one extremely gory scene where this reincarnate uses a pair of scissors to stab the principal multiple times... she was just totally slick and covered with blood and gore!!!
muahahaha... it's quite an entertaining show, but not for the faint-hearted. ;)
