Korean Horror-Drama Gem
Whispering Corridors spawned no less than four sequels. It seems
fairly unknown outside Asia, though, which is a shame on the one hand
but on the other hand good for those of us who enjoy searching for gems
among movies not so known in the West. Although the stories of the
Whispering Corridor movies are independent of another, they all take
place in girl schools where the students suffer from high pressure,
competition - and from hauntings. It's not all horror, though. In fact,
the drama aspect is very strong.Perhaps Whispering Corridors could be scarier. But it has a heart. It makes you care about the characters and the tragedies they're involved in. I've been impressed by the young actresses' performances and the cinematography. Even though the whole movie takes place at a school, it never gets dull to look at. All this makes watching it an experience so much more rewarding than watching an ordinary teen slasher film.
Rating: 8 out of 10 missing teachers.
