  Drama with a twist and a litle bit of horror.
  
  That was a good film, nothing like plain American horror.If you like eastern productions you will find it definitely worth watching.

  Not many laughs!
  
  Spooky and very depressing.
  
  This film should not be watched just before bedtime.

  Cure for insomnia
  
  I disagree with the previous reviewer - this film SHOULD be watched just before bedtime: it's a sure-fire cure for insomnia. Very tame, very boring with a ... read more »

  Interesting, but very slow and unimpressive

  Not what I expected
  
  I thought this movie was going to be a gripping horror, but was disappointed. Couple of good twists but not a great film.
