4.0 out of 5 stars The Second Best South Korean Horror Film of All Time, May 6, 2008

This review is from: Voice (DVD)

Don't be fooled by the cover art - there is no gore or extreme violence in this movie. On the contrary, it provides everything one would expect from an excellent South Korean horror film: a great script, excellent cinematography, strong characters, dense atmosphere, and some tense moments of suspense.

This installment is the strongest of the Whispering Corridors series. The rule system regarding the communication between the ghosts and humans is interesting, and is utilized well when everything comes together near the end of the film. There is limited (yet successful) use of special effects and the night time atmosphere is very good, using dark red lighting consistently. Everything about this movie screams quality, from the interesting storyline to the excellent acting to the effective, stylish horror elements. The scene that plays during the closing credits is something really special. This is a beautiful film.

I personally consider Voice to be the second greatest South Korean horror film of all time (behind A Tale of Two Sisters). Just be sure that you watch this knowing that it's not another Hollywood crapfest with irritating, sex-crazed, drug-addicted teenagers and you should be fine.

This is one hell of a movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars The American DVD Cover is Horrible... Do Not Be Fooled, September 24, 2008

This review is from: Voice (DVD)

I watched a subtitled import copy of this movie back in 2006 and immediately fell in love with it. The original posters and DVD art for the Asian markets was much more subdued and appropriate for the film, which is dark, depressing and almost as much of a drama as it is a horror movie. Don't be fooled into expecting a slasher flick or a violent monster movie. Although it is a horror film (and the fourth part in a series of "haunted school" stories) the focus is mainly on the characters' interaction with each other, not the supernatural.

Highly recommended. Just know what you're getting before you buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Without Exaggeration - One Of The Scariest Movies Ever, April 18, 2009

By 

Stephen B. O'Blenis (Nova Scotia, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Voice (DVD)

In a girls' school where music plays that only certain people can hear - along a quie corridor or after hours, when the building is deserted - the death of a student singer sets in motion one one of the eeriest, most dramatic, and most thoroughly absorbing films to come out of South Korea yet.

Able to be perceived only by her best friend, the girl's ghost clings to existance in this world while she and her friend try to solve the mystery of her death. Meanwhile, more strange occurences start to happen, and secrets from the school's past slowly come to light. Those who dislike ambiguous endings may have a harder time getting into Voice, as the movie masterfully and Very subtlty presents, almost simultaneously, alternate explanations for the truth of what's really going on. As with a number of other Asian horror movies, there's also an intangible sense that underneath the surface, something even stranger and more terrifying than what's up front is taking place, and that sense has never been stronger than it is here.

With great performances, deeply involving interpersonal relationships, and the high production values characteristic of most Korean movies over recent years, Voice is a brilliant (and dark) success that deserves a far, far wider audience than it's gotten on these shores. A must for fans of Asian horror or of movies like 'The Sixth Sense', 'The Invisible', or 'The Orphanage'.
